Austin Security Film Installs Need Attachment Systems
Austin residents agree that installing safety and security window film is worth the investment for all the premium security benefits available. Security film can protect valuables and building occupants in both residential and commercial properties from natural disasters, explosions, attacks, burglaries, and freak accidents. A significant component of security film is the attachment system. Without a proper attachment system, some applications of security film will actually fail to stick to the glass and mitigate broken glass hazards.
Attachment System Installations for Tempered and Annealed Glass
Did you know that security film doesn’t stick to tempered glass without an attachment system? Tempered glass is typically found in commercial properties and public buildings all over Austin due to its strength and ability to shatter into small fragments after impact. Annealed glass is often found in residential properties. Annealed glass differs from tempered glass in both strength and shatter size. Although attachment systems are required for security film to be properly installed on annealed glass, we always recommend so. An attachment system can add further durability and strength to your Austin residence, allowing you to really experience the premium security benefits safety and security film has to offer.
Choosing an Attachment System for Your Austin Security Film Install
The Net System is the most affordable attachment system option. It sacrifices aesthetics due to its screw-in cordage system, but is effective and has a great price point for those on a budget. The Frame Lock system is another great alternative that’s available in a multitude of colors for those with colorful window frames. We’ve utilized 3M’s L-Shaped Rubber Gasket attachment system in projects that require premium aesthetics, such as museums. Our favorite attachment system to use in both residential and commercial applications is the Dow 995 caulking system. This industry standard is available in black and white and actually replaces the rubber gasket in frames. With high elasticity and adhesion, Dow 995 really enhances impact-resistance.
