The Necessity of Attachment Systems for Your Salt Lake City Security Film Install
Salt Lake City residents agree that it’s significant to maximize security film to its full potential in order to experience all the premium safety and security benefits it has to offer. Did you know that installing security film on tempered glass without an attachment system can actually fail? Installing a proper attachment system on tempered glass actually keeps security film attached to the glass and window or glass door frame.
Annealed vs. Tempered Glass Attachment System Installations
Annealed glass is often found in residential homes all over the Salt Lake City area. This untreated glass shatters into large pieces which can cause safety concerns. Tempered glass is a safety feature usually found in commercial properties and public buildings. Tempered glass differs from annealed glass in terms of strength and safety– tempered glass shatters into small fragments posing less harm to building occupants. Luckily, safety and security film mitigates all broken glass hazards, regardless of glass type. Unfortunately, tempered glass requires attachment system installation for security film to be effective. We always recommend installing attachment systems to annealed glass as well, even though it’s not necessary, in order to provide comprehensive security benefits in your Salt Lake City home.
Four Types of Attachment Systems for Any Salt Lake City Security Film Install
We typically use Dow 995 caulking attachment system for the majority of our projects. This third party tested, industry standard is available in black and white, and actually replaces the rubber gasket in window frames. We also utilize 3M’s L-Shaped Rubber Gasket for projects that require high aesthetics and aren’t as budget concerned. The Frame Lock attachment system is a square tubing screwed into the window frame, available in multiple colors for non-traditional windows. We typically don’t recommend the Net System due to its poor aesthetics from the screw-in cordage, but it is the most cost-friendly option for those on a budget.
