Have a Window Broken by Vandals? Consider Using Security Film

When a person is victimized, especially at their place of business, they often vow to never let such a thing happen again.

A business can represent months, years, or even decades of hard work, all culminating in an establishment that is designed to serve others. But some people decide to take what they want, and this can lead to break ins.

Once a business owner has had their window smashed in or even cracked, they may think that investing in bulky coverings is the only way to prevent this from happening again – but even those coverings offer plenty of problems of their own.

Luckily, security film is a cost-efficient and space-efficient solution for preventing this type of issue from endangering a business.

How Shield Series Security Film Keeps Your Company Safe

The windows of a business serve many purposes – they let people inside see out, people outside see in, and they can even be used to promote certain deals.

But sometimes when people see things they want, they may try to take them without paying – and this can come in the form of an after-hours break in where the window functions as a perfect makeshift door. Security film may seem like a flimsy invention when compared to heavy window covers. However, the design is what makes it valuable.

The film is designed to function like a net of sorts, catching a broken pane and stopping it from shattering. This not only helps prevent a mess, but it allows a broken window to be held in place so a person can’t come through the opening.

While film may not look like the biggest or most impactful modification, it is a smart way to protect your windows and ensure your establishment isn’t easy to break into.

Protection from Accidents and Mother Nature

Vandals aren’t the only danger posed to windows. Accidents happen, and a broken window is one of the messiest and most dangerous results you could experience. 

But broken windows don’t just happen because someone accidentally cracks the pane. Sometimes the wind can blow debris into windows, or extreme weather conditions like hail storms can also take their toll.

The best thing about security film is that it provides peace of mind against a variety of factors. It isn’t like an anti-theft system that works only for intruders, or weather-proof design that works only for acts of nature. 

The best way to protect windows from a variety of dangers is to use a tool that is multi-beneficial. 

Use Security Film to Guard Windows from Harm

Windows can sometimes be a liability. While they’re necessary at most all businesses, it is important to guard them from dangers.

For a vandal, a window represents a potential way to break into an establishment. The best way to keep a business safe from harm, be it by criminals or from acts of nature, is to use high-quality window films. 

Shield Series films protect against smash and grab incidents, storms, and more.

Doing Business in Storm Territory? Security Film Can Protect Your Windows

Having a successful business is about hard work and dedication. But location also plays a role. The area where a business is based can have a big impact on its success.

Some businesses choose their location because it is easy for customers to get to, which makes it easier to turn a bigger profit. Others choose their location because it has a low amount of competition, which automatically lets them secure a bigger share of the market.

But every location also has its downfalls, and this includes weather. Most all areas have the occasional storm or rough climate pattern – but some areas have this type of weather much more often.

Here’s how the Shield Series multi-layered security film can help. 

How Shield Series Security Film Guards Windows

Windows are often a vulnerability simply because of their design. We like those glass panes because they help show off merchandise to outsiders, and provide a view of the world for those inside. But this also presents a problem in areas that experience heavy wind or hail.

The security film can be used to catch a broken pane and stop the shards from being scattered about. It doesn’t stop the glass from being damaged, but it prevents it from leading to additional damage.

By forming a “spider web” in the glass, the film can function as a net of sorts, stopping the broken pane from collapsing into shards and posing additional safety hazards. It can also stop a broken window from becoming a doorway, exposing your business to the elements and potential intruders.

The ability to protect windows with a smartly engineered device like this can appeal to any business owner, no matter where their facility is located – remember, one stray rock or aluminum can fling through the air by a burst of wind and can crack a glass pane. This can put it on the fast track to shattering, unless there is something there to catch it.

Security Film Also Guards Against Intruders

If a would-be thief thinks merchandise could be in their hands at the break of a single window, many will not hesitate. The key is to have a way to stop them, but how can you be at your business 24/7? And do you really want to resort to bulky window shields?

Security film can stop broken windows from collapsing, functioning as a barrier to deter intruders and keep them outside.

It’s a smart way to make intruders think twice about breaking into a facility, and a way to ensure a window compromised from natural causes doesn’t create a security vulnerability.

Security is Something Companies Can’t Do Without

Security is something every business needs. Customers, staff, and anyone else who steps foot on the property is a little safer because of it.

Security film helps shield windows from harm, which makes the entire area around them safer as a result. A safer business is more efficient, and better future-proofed for whatever people or nature throw at it.
