It would be nice if we could live in a world where crime doesn’t exist. You could leave your door unlocked. You would never have to worry about someone breaking into your home when you’re at work or on vacation. And, chances are, you’d probably sleep a little better at night because of it. Unfortunately, this is not the world we live in and all homeowners need to be cautious when it comes to matters like security. The good news is, installing a security window film for your Washington D.C. home can provide you with the protection and peace of mind you need in today’s world. Here’s how it works.

 

What Is Security Window Film & What Does It Do?

Security window film is a type of protective layer designed to guard your home’s windows. It’s applied directly to the glass, and sometimes assisted by something called an “attachment system.” It works by essentially “correcting” the imperfections in glass window panes, making your windows stronger, more flexible, and harder to break. As a failsafe, strong adhesives keep the window film in place and prevent glass from coming loose if the window is somehow broken.

Security window films are designed to protect your home in the event that something dangerous occurs. This includes forced entry attempts made by burglars, accidents caused by sports equipment or construction, hurricanes/storms/strong winds, and more.

 

How It Makes Your Home Safer

There are two main ways in which security window film makes your Washington, D.C. home safer. One, it prevents people and pets from being injured. Two, it prevents dangerous people from getting into your home.

 

Injury Prevention

When windows break, things can get dangerous pretty quickly. If the glass is struck hard enough, little shards might go spraying off everywhere, putting people and pets in jeopardy of being hurt. Security films prevent glass related injuries by trapping these shards in place between thick layers of film so they can’t go anywhere or hurt anyone.

 

Break-In Protection

The most common way that intruders get into a home is by breaking into the front door. If that doesn’t work, they look for a window. Even when a window breaks, security film keeps intruders from getting inside by creating a tear-resistant barrier that’s nearly impossible to penetrate.
