You may have already had a security system installed to help deter theft and give yourself peace of mind.

Keeping your home or business safe is a top priority, from natural disasters or active shooters. You may have already had a security system installed to help deter theft and give yourself peace of mind. What you may not be aware of is that security film can be installed on your exterior windows and glass doors to work in tandem with your security system and provide an extra layer of protection.
Security film will keep the glass in your windows intact when, under high stress, untreated windows would normally shatter, allowing burglars entry into your property. Security film will make it much more difficult for thieves to break through your glass and gain entry. It may discourage them all together, or, at the very least, cause a delay that can give your security company or the police more time to respond.
Security films come in a wide variety of thickness, starting at 4mm all the way up to 21mm, which has the capacity to stop a 22-caliber bullet. (Please note that this does not make the glass surface entirely bulletproof.)
As a frame of reference, most government buildings use a security film with an approximate 8-10mm thickness, which generally secures the building against bomb detonation and significant weather events like hurricanes. More than likely, you haven’t heard much about hurricanes that strike Nevada, but this is a good consideration if you’re driving your vehicle across the country.
The film itself can also help to protect against the kind of damage that occurs as a result of numerous other weather patterns. Security film can be installed as a clear film or even can be tinted to help keep your building cooler in the heat of the summer. So, when it comes to finding the best match for security film for your home or business, you will have a lot of choices.
In theory, there is no such thing as a true bulletproof window film. However, adding this to your existing vehicle can help to dramatically improve the impact resistance of the glass, which is why it’s such a popular option with those who are concerned about various types of security-related problems.
Considering that bulletproof window film can increase the overall ability of your windows to resist certain types of impacts, it’s also a good way to deter some classes of vandals. If people just want to poke at your windows in order to cause trouble, then this can help to solve that sort of problem. This is why these films are called intruder proof or break proof window films.
Company cars are among those most likely to have a burglar-proof window film attached to them. These vehicles are those that need to remain protected. Thus, putting the burglar-proof film on them is often seen as a good idea. Slightly tinting your windows could potentially be a good idea.
When criminals try to pick out a vehicle to steal from, they often do so based on what they see inside of the car itself. If they see something like an expensive stereo or GPS receiver inside of a vehicle, then they might be more likely to break into it. The same goes for laptops or electronics.
That’s why some people actually take the time to remove the stereo plate from their vehicle whenever they get out of it. It’s often best to not leave this kind of material visible in your car. If you have to put something like a laptop in the passenger’s compartment, then you’ll want to hide it under the seat if at all possible. You’ll also not want to leave it in there too long since heat can damage sensitive things.
That being said, there’s no reason to also try to hide the interior compartment of the car itself. By utilizing tinting along with security film, you can make it harder for criminals to scope out your vehicle in the first place. That’s great news for those who have to travel around with a fair amount of devices stashed away inside of their vehicles.
Some people in law enforcement and other fields have used burglar-proof film in much the same way, which should help to dramatically illustrate the effectiveness of this technique. Naturally, your mileage may vary and everyone will have a slightly different experience based on several different variables. However, this has been an established technique used by a large number of motorists to great effect. You could even have it done at the same time as other procedures, such as painting or vinyl covering.
The first step in the installation process is getting measurements of the windows that you would like treated. Exact measurements allow for the best possible results. In our shop, our expert technicians professionally cut the film to meet the measurement specifications.
We carefully place the film on your windows with a special solution of water, alcohol, and soap. Finally, a lock or adhesive is necessary to keep the glass in place should it ever break. Once you’ve had a security film installed, do not use ammonia-based cleaning products!
