Keep Your Business Facility Safe And Operational

When considering building safety and security, we typically think of doors as the major threat of forced and unauthorized entry. However, have you considered the fact that your building’s windows comprise the largest combined square footage of vulnerable entry points and exposure to extreme weather elements.

Benefits of Security Window Films

Enhance Your Property's Safety

Security window films offer a powerful, yet discreet solution to protect your home or business from potential threats. These innovative films provide multiple benefits that go beyond simple security measures.

Security window films act as an invisible barrier, significantly increasing the time and effort required for unlawful entry. This added layer of protection deters potential intruders, making your property a less attractive target. By reinforcing entry and exit points, these films create a formidable defense system without altering the aesthetic appeal of your windows.

Unobtrusive Security Solution

Unlike bulky security bars or unsightly shutters, security window films offer heavy-duty protection without compromising your property's appearance. These films maintain the natural look of your windows while providing an extra layer of safety, blending with your existing architecture.

Low Maintenance and UV Protection

​In addition to their security benefits, these films are easy to clean and maintain, requiring no special care beyond regular window cleaning. As an added advantage, security window films block approximately 60% of harmful UV rays, helping to protect your interiors from fading and sun damage.

Make Every Window Part of Your Security Detail

Safety and security window films strengthen the resiliency of glass, resulting in a much more difficult challenge for potential criminals to gain access. It can help protect you, and deter entry, in the following situations.

• Active Shooter
• Riots
• Looters
• Burglary
• Break-ins and Forced Entry
• Smash and Grabs
• Terrorists

3M™ security window films with impact adhesive helps deter criminals by eliminating easy access and the time they would need to commit their crime. By adding shatter-resistance, penetrating a glass opening becomes much more difficult. Since would-be intruders rely on quick and easy access for a successful break-in, a door or window that slows them down is one that will most likely force them to give up and walk away.

PLEASE NOTE: Window protection films will not stop bullets but can significantly delay or deter an intruder from entering the building.

3M™ Safety and Security Film S140 Demonstration

In this demonstration, it takes more than 90 seconds to break through the glass door with 3M™ safety security window film series S140 installed on the glass. This product is intended to deter break-ins by impeding unwanted entry.

Testing has proven that it can take a full two minutes for an intruder to break through a window protected with glass. That may not sound like a lot of time, but those two minutes can save lives. Not to mention the potential burglar would be exhausted after all of that effort.

Plus, window films can also add the following risk safeguards and security benefits, and they can eliminate the need for costly window replacement.

Windows are often the most vulnerable points in a building's exterior, creating a significant security risk. Compromised windows jeopardize the safety of occupants and assets, and can disrupt building operations. Additionally, broken glass can not only present a physical hazard, but also provide easier access for intruders, further endangering people and property inside.

Here are a few property security and crime statistics you should know.

• 34% of burglaries each year affect small businesses.
• Burglary victims lose an average of $2,416 per break-in.
• In total, victims of burglaries (both private and public) lose an estimated $3.4 billion in property each year.

The truth is most people focus their attention to securing doors. That’s why one of the fastest ways intruders enter a home or office is through a window. No matter if the intruder is planning to pry the lock or break the glass, a building’s windows are its weakest security points.

Protect Your People and Upgrade to Meet Modern Building Code

Building code may specify that glass in certain hazardous locations, such as glazing near wet surfaces, doors, floors, ramps, and stairs meet certain safety glazing requirements. 3M™ Safety Window Films will help you quickly and easily meet safety glazing impact requirements at a fraction of the cost of replacement windows.

Protective Window Film for More Extreme Weather Conditions

Glass can be your worst enemy during a hurricane. When unprotected glass breaks, shards can be sent flying and cause both severe injury to occupants and property damage. 3M™ safety and security window films with impact protection adhesive can help keep flying glass from harming occupants and, in many cases, will also help to keep out strong winds and intense rain. 3M™ Safety Window Films have been tested against simulated wind speeds of up to 170 mph.

Protecting Schools with Security Films

In recent years, schools and universities have begun to incorporate 3M™ safety and security window films with impact protection adhesive as part of their comprehensive campus security plans. This solution helps to keep students, teachers, and staff safe inside while making it difficult for any armed intruder to gain entry through glass windows. The delay can provide the valuable time needed for emergency personnel to arrive on scene and for students, teachers, and staff to seek shelter.

Mitigate Unexpected Blast Hazards

Accidental explosions are an everyday risk for many industrial, lab, and manufacturing facilities. And bomb threats often involve schools, government buildings, and commercial facilities. In addition, your workplace may be exposed to a nearby heavy construction zone. In such cases, you may want to consider a temporary window glass masking that offers a stronger shield and security during construction.

3M™ Security Window Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems have been tested to industry bomb blast standards and meet the performance requirements on numerous glazing types under a variety of blast loads.
