How Window Film Can Improve Your Security

A dining room with a glass table and chairs and lots of windows

Windows are an essential part of any property, helping to flood your rooms with plenty of natural light. However, they can also be an open invitation to thieves, providing them with a clear view inside and acting as the perfect gateway into your property.

 

If you are looking to protect your home or commercial building, installing security film to your windows can deter criminals and keep your property safe.


Capable of being applied to any glass window, Security Film enhances the security and safety of your property in a number of ways:


1) Prevents prying eyes

Security film on your windows can stop any potential thieves from being able to see into your property without blocking the flow of natural light. Criminals seek quick and easy wins, so preventing them from seeing your belongings will deter them from breaking in.


2) Prevents shattering

Your windows are incredibly fragile, and 23% burglaries occur through a broken window. Security film prevents the glass from shattering and holds the glass together, making it significantly harder for burglars or rioters to gain access to the property.

Window film can also help to keep your family and colleagues safe from injury following an accident that might have broken the glass.


3) Strong deterrent

Even if criminals do attempt to gain entry to your property, window security film significantly slows their attempt, increasing the likelihood of them being caught. This is a strong deterrent and will lead to them abandoning their attempt before gaining access.
