Having a home with lots of windows is always a selling point for home buyers. People love to have their homes flooded with natural light, however, there are risks involved with have so many windows.

Protection Against Burglaries

Thieves want an easy grab and go option, but security film is an excellent product for making glass harder to breach. If your home is protected with 3M Safety & Security film, the glass will be extremely difficult to breakthrough and will prevent your glass from shattering upon impact. Invaders will have to use a lot more force to the window and the resulting noise can give you more time to react. Most criminals don't want to risk getting caught by making so much noise and in many cases, the amount of effort needed to break through a window with security film will cause the would-be intruder to give up and move on to easier prey.

Protection from Natural Disasters

Living in the Pacific Northwest we do need to keep severe weather in mind and we have to worry about events like earthquakes and strong windstorms, including ones with hurricane-force winds known as mid-latitude cyclones, and other harsh weather events including thunderstorm or tornadic activity. One of the biggest issues with many of these types of natural disasters is high winds turning flying debris into dangerous projectiles. Security film can save lives by keeping the glass from windows and doors from becoming sharp projectiles when subjected to major forces.

Protect Your Home or Business From Other Broken Glass Hazards
