Home Window Film For Home Invasion Protection
Safety & Security Films are incredibly powerful for protection against home invasion. This is because they are designed to make the window glass more shatter-resistant–kind of laminated glass. Should an intruder try to break a window in your home the broken glass remains adhered to the film and stays in place, deterring would-be thieves from easily penetrating the glass and entering your home.
Home Window Film As A Safety Glass Alternative
Today’s building codes often require tempered or laminated glass in areas that are prone to dangerous slip and fall accidents. These areas include glass doors, bathroom glass, windows on balconies or at the bottom of staircases. So, if you are remodeling and need to bring certain glass features in your home up to code, window film is a cost-effective and suitable workaround for installing tempered or laminated glass.
Home Window Film For Sun Protection
More and more studies are linking UV rays to many negative health outcomes such as:
- Premature skin aging and wrinkles
- Collagen damage
- Skin cancer
- Eye cancer and disease
As it happens, untreated windows in your Colorado Springs home let in these caustic rays because glass alone will not stop them. This is why window film, which blocks 99.9% of harmful rays (including UVA and UVB) offering the same protection as an SPF 2000 sunscreen and protecting you and your family from diseases stemming from the sun.
Window Film For Natural Disaster Protection
Here in Colorado Springs, we have a lot of powerful storms, hail, tornados and even, at times, hurricane strength winds. Window film for safety reduces the risk of injury from natural disasters and storms by preventing flying shards of broken glass, and even stopping debris and water penetration through the windows.
