Attachment Systems Are Vital for Your Fort Collins Security Film Installs
When deciding to invest in safety and security window film, it’s just as important to choose the proper attachment system. Security film is actually useless on tempered glass if installed without an attachment system. Even though annealed glass doesn’t necessarily require an attachment system, we definitely recommend installing an attachment system to further prolong product life and add durability. Attachment systems are engineered to bond your security film to both the window frame and glass in your Fort Collins building.
Why Attachment Systems Are Necessary for Tempered Glass
Did you know that commercial buildings are primarily utilize tempered glass? Many Fort Collins commercial property owners understand the importance of keeping building occupants and valuables safe with security film, in order to protect against explosions, natural disasters, burglaries, attacks, and freak accidents. Security film can’t be properly installed without an attachment system– it simply won’t bond glass fragments together after impact. The attachment system ensures the frame is bonded with the glass and installed film.
