How can Window Film help you during a Hurricane?

Safety and security films protect glass during a hurricane by reinforcing the glass surface and holding it together, even when shattered. Here's how they work:

1. Increased Strength: These films are made of thick polyester material with strong adhesives, making the glass more resistant to impact from flying debris or high winds. This reduces the likelihood of the glass breaking in the first place.

2. Shatter Resistance: If the glass does break, the film holds the shattered pieces together, preventing them from flying inward. This minimizes the risk of injury to occupants and reduces further structural damage inside the building.

3. Protection from Wind and Water: By keeping the glass intact or holding it together after breaking, the film prevents high winds and rain from entering the building, which can lead to severe interior damage or structural compromise during a hurricane.

4. Reduced Pressure Changes: The film helps maintain the integrity of windows, reducing the pressure changes inside the building. This is critical during hurricanes, as sudden pressure changes can cause more significant damage to walls, roofs, and other parts of the structure.

Overall, safety and security films add an extra layer of protection to glass, helping it withstand the extreme forces associated with hurricanes, while also reducing the risk of injury and damage inside the building.
