Security Window Film: FAQ & Answers

Security window film is becoming more common every year as more and more property owners discover its benefits. Still, many people are not familiar with security film and have questions about what it is and how it works. To shed light on the situation, we’ve discussed some of the most common questions and answers about security window tinting in Colorado.

Q: Does security window film really work?

A: Yes! Security window film is a highly effective means of strengthening glass. It won’t stop a window from breaking if it’s hit 100 times with a hammer, but it can delay intruders significantly and greatly reduce the extent of damage that occurs during an emergency such as a shooting or bombing.

Q: How does security window film work?

A: The film is installed on the glass using a special primer and adhesive. Then, it is allowed to dry and cure, during which time it creates a physical bond with the glass. Once it’s set in place, security film increases the window’s shatter resistance and flexibility. This prevents the glass from breaking during impact. If the glass does crack or shatter, it will stay safely contained within the layers of film.

Q: How much does it cost to install security window film?

A: It depends on what type of film you buy. Cost is typically dependent on thickness and materials. A standard safety film costs about $8-16 per square foot. However, a bomb blast protection film may cost up to $125 per square foot or more.

Q: What is the best security window film?

A: It depends on what you want to accomplish! 3M, LLumar, Solar Gard, and Hanita Coatings are all great brands. If you’re looking for the strongest security film, we recommend a C-Bond ballistic resistant window film system.
