Security Safety Window Film - Toronto

What is Security and Safety Window Film and what are its Benefits?

Security Window Film or Safety Window Film is basically a polyester film layer that is applied onto glass or glazing.  This helps the glass stay together if it shatters.  Security and Safety Window Films are like glass laminations.  The only difference between them is that glass is laminated during the manufacturing process, where as a security window film can be put up on an already manufactured glass slab.

These business and Home Safety Window Film options are used all over the world in cars, trains, busses, homes etc. It is very easy to install security window film for Intruder Protection and other possible emergencies. The glue used to stick it is of very high quality and sticks smoothly to a window pane or a glass surface.  It is of the form of a peel off sticker wherein you just remove a layer to expose the glue part and then stick it.

There are multiple benefits to using security window films for commercial, residential or automotive uses.  They are: 

Protection from spontaneous glass breakage
There are times when glass windows, doors, mirrors; dining tables, etc. break due to an unfortunate accident.  This spreads glass shards and splinters as projectiles and could end up causing a serious injury or fatality.  Glass splinters could penetrate the skin and cause cuts, or may even cause serious infections or wounds.  Applying security window film will prevent glass shards from flying around, even if the glass breaks. The same applies to glass window panes on buses, cars etc. There is a set standard of safety window film.   A film complying with these safety standards will give the protection desired.

Protection of glazing and glass windows during natural disasters
Security and Safety window films are utilized especially for protection during natural disasters like an earthquake.  The seismic activities disturb the architectural framework of a building and hence affect the windows too.   But applying a safety window film retains the glass in the frame and prevents it from falling out and causing injury.  During hurricanes, tornadoes, storms etc, these window films will stop most debris from hitting your windows and breaking them.

Protection from bomb and blast hazards
There are special Security Window Films that are used to sustain huge blasts.  Windows broken because of a blast cause a lot of trauma. These films will not only prevent the broken glass shards from flying around, but may also prevent the glass from breaking from the frame altogether.  Special care is taken in manufacturing these types of films.
