The Significance of an Attachment System for Your Dallas Security Film Installs
Dallas residents agree that’s important to maximize all security benefits of safety and security film in order to really utilize the product’s full potential. A lot of security film brands don’t mention the fact that attachment systems are required for tempered glass installation to actually make the security film effective. Finding the proper attachment system can be difficult as well. Luckily, we’re here to help educate you on attachment systems!
Tempered vs. Annealed Glass Attachment System Installations
Tempered glass is a stronger, treated safety feature often found in commercial properties and public buildings. Annealed glass is typically used in residential properties in Dallas, and is not as strong as tempered glass. Tempered glass shatters into smaller pieces than annealed glass in order to mitigate glass shard hazards. Unfortunately, security film doesn’t work on tempered glass for that reason without an attachment system installed. An attachment system bonds the security film to both the frame and glass, ensuring the security film can perform its purpose. Although attachment systems aren’t required on annealed glass for security film to be effective, we still recommend installing one. An attachment system can add further strength to installed security film on annealed glass, making your Dallas residence even safer.
How to Choose an Attachment System for Your Dallas Security Film Install
We recommend using the Dow 995 caulking attachment system for most security film installations. This industry standard is third party tested, offering high elasticity for great impact-resistance. 3M’s L-Shaped Rubber Gasket is another great option, offering premium aesthetics but a higher price point. We like to recommend this attachment system for projects like museums. The Frame Lock attachment system comes at a reasonable price point but a multitude of colors, great for non-traditional window and glass door frames. The Net System attachment system delivers screw-in cordage with the lowest aesthetics as well as the lowest price point.
