When you think of window tinting, what comes to mind, usually? If you are like most people, it’s a dark film that looks good. Gives some benefits like glare reduction, increases privacy, reduces heat and so on. Right? Right. If you think car tinting, it’s either for heat reduction, or appearance. I say usually, because that’s been my experience. The customer wants the car to be cooler or to look good. This does vary from person to person, but mostly, it’s how it is.
But, if you didn’t get a hint from the title of this post, I doubt you would have thought of “safety, or security” when the words window tinting were mentioned. I recon, I’m right. In any case, there is an extremely valuable benefit to window films. That is the safety and security feature. Now most films that you would think of are not actually designed for that specific purpose. Each film has a specific job to do. They are designed and manufactured, on purpose, to do a specific task. Some films are good at reducing heat, whist others are great at privacy, etc. In that same way, safety and security films are designed to do their jobs better than anything else. What exactly does SAFETY and SECURITY films do? They are the same, and yet different.
- safety…..as the word implies, it provides a level of safety that far surpasses that of glass alone. A piece of glass that is impacted with an objects shatters int countless pieces and shards that are extremely dangerous. Safety film uses a multi layered material and a very aggressive adhesive to hold all the pieces in place. So, rather than have bits flying all over the place landing in dangerous places, they are kept in check until it can be replaced. So, in that sense, it provides a “SAFE” environment, in the event of glass breakage.
- security….is a similar thing, but adds another dimension to the safety aspect. It secures a space that would have otherwise been breached. If the window were to be broken, and an access been made into the room/space, security film would make it extremely difficult to penetrate through. Not always impossible, but certainly making the task way more difficult. Usually it is for the prevention of break and enter crimes, but also for storm damage and more recently, explosive damage.
I have included the following You Tube video to demonstrate for you, the above mentioned benefits. There are quite a number of similar demonstration videos on that site. You are welcome to check it out. I just want to inform you of the product, it’s benefits and to let you know that I also supply and install these films.
Mostly, safety and security films come as a clear film. No tint at all. It goes on, and once it is dried, it basically disappears. Like it wasn’t there, but always on the ready to protect. There are tinted versions, for those who wish to get a heat reduction benefit as well, all in one. There are also several thicknesses too, to increase the strength of it’s “holding” capacity.
For a no obligation measure and quote, arrange for an appointment and a hands on check of the material, just call me.
