You invest a lot in your commercial space: time, money, and care. As a result, the same level of investment should go into the protection of your space. After all, unexpected events such as inclement weather, active shooters, or break-ins can turn your business upside down. Repairs are not only expensive, but they can also result in downtime for your business operations. While you cannot predict unwanted events, you can prepare and protect your commercial space from unforeseen catastrophes.
There are three ways to fortify glass surfaces. Bullet resistant glass, laminated glass, and window film. Bullet resistant glass and laminated glass usually require different glazing than the existing windows and can be very costly. The simplest solution to fortify your glass surfaces is window film! Window film can be installed using your existing glazing and it is the least costly way to fortify glass surfaces.
About Safety & Security Window Film
3M Safety and Security Window Film adds a layer of protection to windows. Designed to stretch instead of tear, these films hold the glass in place in the event that it is shattered. This protects both people and property within your space from the dangers of flying shards of glass. The immaculate tear resistant properties of 3M Safety and Security Window Film also make it difficult for someone to create a body size hole that they can fit through. Additionally, safety and security film can be paired with an Impact Protection Attachment System for maximum security. Impact Protection Attachment Sealants anchor the window film to the frame of the window. This makes it much more difficult for someone to break out the windowpane. During a bomb blast, the IPA secures the glass in the frame decreasing the likelihood that the entire glass pane blows inward.
How Can Safety & Security Window Film Help Your Business?
Deter Crime
While many people consider windows a desirable feature, offering beautiful views and natural lighting, they also make your space more susceptible to break-ins. After all, windows are one of the most vulnerable points of a building envelope, and the first place many criminals attempt to break-in. With regular tempered or annealed glass it takes only seconds to gain access to a building. Windows that have 3M Safety and Security Window Film installed deter forced entry due to the extended time involved to gain entry and the surprise factor that the window is not breaking as normal.
Protect Against Inclement Weather
Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, thunderstorms — while sometimes we know they’re coming, they often spring upon us out of nowhere. Even if you’re aware, your space may not be ready to protect itself from the inclement weather. Don’t get caught off guard when a natural disaster is approaching. Prepare and protect your commercial space with 3M Safety and Security Window Film.
Reduces Downtime in the Event of Damage
If a window is broken, either from a storm or a break-in, your business needs a quick solution to minimize the downtime of operations. When a window without safety and security window film breaks, all operations must halt until you replace the glass, which costs time and money. Safety and security window film eliminates the need for immediate window replacement, allowing for continuity of operations until the glazier is able to fix the broken window.
