Safety window film is a great way to save money and the environment. When you buy windows and glass from a store, it’s a lot cheaper than buying them already framed. However, when you buy the windows yourself, you can save even more. Safety window film is usually made of polyester, or PET plastics which are easily applied to glazing and glass so as to keep them together even if the entire glass is completely shattered. These safety films come in several different colours too so you can easily coordinate with your existing colour scheme.
A safety film for glasses and windows comes in two versions: sticky and non-stick. They’re very similar in function, so there isn’t much reason to prefer one over the other. Both varieties are able to be stuck onto glass just like the regular versions, making it more difficult for thieves or vandals to lift and break the glass. Glass safety films will also prevent debris such as crumpled newspaper from being jammed into the glass. As well as keeping you and your family safe, these films can help protect your environment. By cutting down on the amount of clean up that needs to be done after a break-in, the safety films can cut down on the number of cleaning services you need to carry out.
Both types of safety window film come in a variety of thicknesses to match the thickness of your glass. The thicker the film the better, as the thicker it is, the harder it is to break. You should expect the cost to increase depending on the thickness of the safety film. You’ll probably also need to purchase additional film to overlap the thickness of the glass on both sides, as well as a special glue to attach the security film to the glass. For thicker tempered glass, you’ll need to buy additional non-tempered glass and the necessary joint compounds and adhesives.
When looking for safety window film to install on a new window, you should look for a manufacturer that offers a free lifetime warranty. It’s a good idea to find out exactly what the dimensions of the tempered glass are, as well as if there are any gaps between the two pieces of glass. If you live in an area with very cold winters, then you may want to consider installing a safety film that has a lower R-value, which means that it has fewer obstructive changes that would allow a criminal to break-in.
Many people opt for safety film for their home windows because it provides a layer of privacy that most homeowners wouldn’t have otherwise thought to purchase. If you have a window with double glazed windows, then it might be more difficult to install safety window film. However, double glazing does provide insulation to reduce heat transfer. For example, if you live in a warm, sunny climate, you would normally need about 1.5 mil thick uv rays films to reduce your heat loss. However, with safety film, you can reduce this to only 0.35 mils, which will keep your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
There are several different styles available to choose from, which means you have a lot of options to choose from. One of the most popular is UV coating, which is applied to the safety window glass using a special UV curing solution. This provides a barrier against ultraviolet rays, which are believed to have many health benefits. It also makes it harder for people to see through the film, which could allow someone to bypass the security film and gain access to the home. In addition to being resistant to ultraviolet rays, some types of safety film can also help prevent oil based liquids from penetrating through it. For example, the oil in a diesel car would soak into the vinyl film and peel it, but with safety window film, it would simply lay on the surface without damaging or scratching it.
Another popular option for safety window film is to make the film from a high-quality, reinforced plastic that can withstand constant exposure to UV light. These films can also provide added strength and protection, when broken glass fragments together. For instance, if windows have shattered due to a burglar breaking in while the house’s occupants were home, the plastic safety window film can ensure no glass fragments are left behind. Even when the windows are completely shattered to the point that the glass is exposed, the film will provide the home with adequate protection against the elements. It is also possible to use the plastic safety window film in the case of broken glass from a break-in, which makes it more difficult for someone to enter through the broken glass. Once broken glass fragments together with the safety film, it becomes nearly impossible to open the door from the inside of the house without exposing the film to the elements, which defeats the primary purpose.
Another option for safety window film is to create a frosted tint. The tinting process involves applying a layer of tint to the glass of a car window, which is then darkened to provide better protection against ultraviolet light. Tinted glass is especially useful for cars that are parked in driveways during the day, as the windshield provides excellent protection from the sun’s rays even on cloudy days. However, tinting is a complex process that must be performed regularly in order for the tint to effectively reflect and block ultraviolet light, so it is not a great alternative for people who wish to keep the window open all the time. Frosted safety glass films do offer a level of privacy and light control similar to tinted windows, but they cannot be opened easily from the inside of a house or a car.
