Security Window Film: The Best Way to Protect Your Windows
A window film is used to protect the glass and privacy of the people of the house. It also serves the purpose of decorating your home as it comes in a variety of styles and patterns and gives a luxurious look to the place. These films are used extensively for decorating windows and glass doors of homes and offices.
Using a window film is the best way to protect the privacy of your home and to give your house an elegant look. Depending on the purpose of use, window films are available in different styles such as frosted, textured, patterned, and tinted.
What Is a Commercial/Security Film?
Safety and security films are very popular because they protect windows from storms, accidents, and break-ins. These window films are designed in such a way so as to protect the window from different types of events.
Glass is a vulnerable material and it can break if some force is exerted on it. The commercial or security window films protect the glass and strengthen it to bear the pressure. These window films are of great benefit if properly applied. Following are the main advantages of using a security window film:
A security window film can prevent intruders from entering your house. Most thefts and break-ins occur through windows because they are the most fragile entry points in the home. Using a security window film will make sure your house is safe from intruders.
It also reduces the chance of injuries and accidents in case the window gets shattered. Your window glass can break and shatter in case of an accident, earthquake, bomb blast, or any natural disaster. The broken pieces can hurt anyone who’s nearby, and no one knows when an accident can happen. A commercial window film strengthens the window and keeps it in place in such a situation.
Intense winds and hurricanes can also cause the window to break, which can cause loss to the property. A window film keeps the window intact even if it’s broken and prevents the people of the house from being injured.
Security window films are also used for other purposes such as protecting the house from extreme weather conditions. Such a film can reduce the amount of heat passing through it and, thus, protect the house from getting heated up in the summers. The window films also keep the house warm in the winters as they restrict the cold wind from entering the house. Glass material doesn’t stop the heat or cold from entering the house, and a window film is found to be very effective in doing so.
A commercial window film protects the privacy of the house by blocking the view or line of sight of the visitors or passersby. These films are ideal for people who live in apartments or overly crowded areas.Apart from protecting your privacy, these films also look very stylish.
Different Types of Security Window Films
Security window films are available in a variety of styles and designs. A security film is very sturdy and is made up of layers of polyester film that are laminated together using adhesive materials.
Most security window films have a thickness ranging from 4 mils to 14 mils or more. If more than one or two laminated films of thin material are used in the construction of a window film, it is considered as a thick window film. Security windows differ from each other depending upon the type of adhesive material used in their construction.
A window film used for security or commercial purposes is available in rolls of different widths. The most common widths used for this purpose are 36, 48, 60, or 72 inches. The security window films are mostly available in the lengths of 50 to 100 feet and are large enough to cover many windows.
A thicker window film is stronger as compared to the thinner ones and for security and safety purposes, a thick window film is used. A thick window film has more tear strength, degree of break strength, and puncture strength. As the thicker films are sturdier than others, they are the most expensive ones too.
For most security purposes, window films of 8 to 14 mils thickness are used. The thinner window films are normally used in areas where there is no big threat from intruders or natural disasters. A thinner film is mostly used for solar protection or for tinting. The thick films are ideal for higher threat areas or when more security and protection is needed.
How to Install a Security Window Film?
A security window film is installed on the inside of windows and are fixed in a retrofit manner. The installation of window films is normally done at the job site and are applied after cutting and fixing them onto the surface of the glass.
It is necessary to apply a window film properly onto the surface of the window or else it would be useless. If there are bubbles left between the surface of the window and the film, it wouldn’t look good. For this purpose, a special adhesive is used which eliminates all air bubbles and creases from the surface of the window film.
Most security window films are installed by the daylight method in which the film is applied by leaving a gap between the edge of the window frame and the film. When more protection is required, a different method known as anchored method is used for applying the film. There are two types of anchored method, mechanical and wet. They are used when additional protection and care is needed to apply the film.
Sometimes, the daylight installation method becomes useless because the tempered glass can get shattered into small pieces. Thus, the mechanical or anchored method is used when there is more protection and safety needed for installing the window film.
Using a window film is the best way to protect the privacy of your home and to give your house an elegant look. Depending on the purpose of use, window films are available in different styles such as frosted, textured, patterned, and tinted.
