Even if you already have a working security system for your home or small business, you may still be looking for additional ways to add a little extra protection. Security film is designed to do just that. It serves to provide an extra layer of defense against theft and vandalism for your home, office, or small business. Learn how security film can prevent vandalism.

Security film is installed on your exterior windows and can keep glass intact, making it more difficult for intruders to enter undetected. It can also be installed on bathroom mirrors, tabletops, and other flat, non-porous surfaces to protect them from vandalism such as carving, scratching, and writing. If surfaces are cracked, security film keeps the pieces together instead of allowing hazardous shattering. As an added benefit, they also help to protect these surfaces from everyday wear and tear.

Too often, insurance does not cover annoying and offensive graffiti or other forms of vandalism. That is left to you and your small business to cover. Security film can help reduce or prevent vandal damage so you are not left footing the bill. Scratching, carving, writing, and other defacements of property can be virtually eliminated by covering key items in your business with security film.

Considering the potential damage that can be done to your property, installing a security film is a wise way of protecting yourself and your investments. It doesn’t take long to install and you should be up and running again in almost no time.

Some people might be dealing with sticker shock as a result of this suggestion, but it’s important to think about things in terms of the aggregate. Over any period of time, security film can easily pay for itself and then some.

Consider how much it would cost to have the glass replaced or repaired after an act of vandalism caused any sort of damage. There’s a good chance that you might think of that as an expensive proposition, thus helping to illustrate just how much money can actually get saved simply by having our expert team install a little safety material over whatever it is that you’re trying to protect.

How Does Security Film Work?

Security film works by strongly bonding itself to the surface it is intended to protect. First, the surface is thoroughly cleaned. Then, the film is removed from its packaging and is slowly applied with the help of water and alcohol solution. A squeegee is used to squeeze out extra solution and bubbles from behind the film.

The procedure varies slightly depending on the surface it is being applied to, but it works as long as the surface is smooth and non-porous. The strong bond is the result of a meticulous installation procedure that is much like the one used for tinting windows.

Team ACME are premier window tint installers and use their experience for pristine installation of all types of films. Security film is thicker than window tint and can be adhered to a larger variety of flat, smooth surfaces.

The film protects surfaces by absorbing blunt impacts and defends against any attempt at vandalism by permanent marker, scratching, or other physical trauma. Since the film is the one taking all of the abuse, the original surface underneath is usually kept intact and in as good a condition as the day the film was installed.

Should the original surface ever need to be revealed or the film replaced, it can be safely removed with a similar procedure used for tinted windows, uncovering the pristine original surface underneath leaving it ready for another application of security film.

Even if a vandal manages to break a window or mirror with security film, the film prevents it from shattering into thousands of dangerous shards thereby reducing damage to other property and people. It also had a tendency to hold broken glass together, withstanding multiple attempts to break-in. This means a vandal or burglar would have to work long and hard to fully break past the barrier that security film provides, giving more time for law enforcement to arrive on the scene.

If you have a surface that just needs lighter protection from graffiti and light scratching, you can also look into using our film specifically designed for that purpose. It’s made to be easy to clean rather than replace.

Eventually, many places will see graffiti from something other than paint as well. Vandals often do much more than just use rattle cans to cause problems for business owners. This film is designed to help you clean up after many other types of tags as well.

Think about what might happen if someone used markers, felt-tip pens, crayons, or even chalk to ruin your day. While this might seem really juvenile, it certainly does happen and it’s important to be prepared.

Team Acme’s Security Film Installation Process

The Las Vegas area naturally attracts people who might not be using their best judgment at every moment, so petty vandalism in restaurants, bars, and other small businesses is on the rise. Team Acme now offers effective security film to help small business owners combat this vandalism and graffiti. The process for installing security film in your business is simple and fast. It can even be removed and replaced if needed.

1. Measurements: The first step in the installation process is for Team Acme to get measurements of the windows or pieces of furniture that you are planning to cover with security film. Exact measurements are critical to achieving the best possible results.

By working with the exact dimensions of your pane, we can ensure that the glass is going to receive just the right cover and therefore be at least relatively impervious to many of the threats that you’re concerned about on a daily basis.

Since we want to make sure that everything we install is done properly, we take the same approach to dealing with the dimensions of everything else including vehicle wraps and auto glass replacement. You could say that we take skills earned from these activities and have applied them to the installation of security film.

2. Film Options: Our crew at Team Acme can sit down with you to determine the best security film option for your home or business. This depends a lot on exactly what you are planning to install the film on — windows or furniture.

Security film thickness ranges from 4mm to 21mm. As a point of reference, most government buildings use 8-10mm film to protect the buildings against terrorism.

You can also get security film that has been tinted to save on energy costs. This blocks at least some of the light from the sun, which in turn helps to keep the insides of your space cool. Considering just how hot it can get in the greater Las Vegas area, it’s no surprise that this has become a popular option.

3. Installation: Team Acme will precut the security film based on the measurements and will prepare and clean the surface so that the film can be applied evenly and smoothly. We use a squeegee to ensure that you will always have a perfect seal and application.

There shouldn’t be any gaps or air bubbles once the finished film is in place. As soon as the installation is finished you should be able to go back to using your home or office just like normal. Though the film will adhere to the windows better over time, you can work with it without much concern just as soon as everything is done and settled.
