What Is Commercial Safety Window Film?

Security window film is a way to quickly and easily upgrade window glass performance. It acts as an invisible shield that increases the security of all windows, without causing any kind of intrusion.

Solar X of The Palms offers two main types of commercial safety window film.

Clear Safety Window Film

The main purpose of this type is to increase security and protection while remaining visibly unnoticeable. These films are designed to meet strict performance standards, and once applied are completely invisible.

Solar Safety Window Film

Solar film is durable and protective like clear safety window film but also helps block out UV rays. These provide a commercial window tint, which also may be more desirable in certain circumstances.

On top of blocking UV rays, this type of film also blocks out heat due to its thermal properties. This means it acts as an additional layer of insulation on your windows.

Reasons for Safety Window Film

The main purpose of commercial safety window film is to fortify building glass. The film helps to absorb shocks from any impact, and if the glass does break it will contain the shatter.

This is a very effective way to thwart intruders who may think they are getting an easy break-in. It will be a lot harder for would-be intruders to break the glass, but even if they do the film will still act as a protective layer.

This acts as a deterrent, as criminals are more likely to flee if they realize the glass is harder to break through than they expected. But if they do choose to persist, you also have the advantage of buying more time.

If you have an alarm system hooked up, or some other way of alerting the authorities, time is crucial. The longer it takes thieves to break into your house, the more time you will have to act. This means the police are more likely to be able to catch the intruders before they have a chance to escape.

Even when no one is trying to break-in, the protective layer also improves overall safety for anyone nearby. In a school, for example, children are a lot less likely to break windows, and so the risk of injury goes down.

A similar alternative to this would be to install laminated glass. While this would give very similar results, going with window film is a far more cost-effective option. If you have a lot of windows to upgrade, the price difference can be a big factor.
