3M™ Safety & Security Film can add a layer of protection to your home or office to keep both you and your belongings safe.
A 2023 Gallop Poll indicated that up to 40% of Americans are afraid to walk alone at night within a mile of their home, making this the highest percentage of people experiencing fear the nation has seen in the past three decades. But 3M’s state-of-the-art safety film can add a layer of protection so that you can feel safe when inside.
Here are the most common reasons why customers want to install 3M’s Safety and Security Film Series on the glass of their homes and offices.
3M™ Safety and Security Film Prevents Unwanted Break-Ins
Both homeowners and commercial property owners have successfully prevented break-ins using 3M Safey and Security Film.
The safety film works by holding broken glass together. After impact, the film is scientifically designed to hold shattered glass together, preventing glass shards from flying and damaging people and property. In fact, 3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Film, Ultra Series, has proven, when paired with 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment, to delay intruders by up to two full minutes despite repeated impacts.
With its strong and nearly tear resistant elements, 3M’s safety film has been tested against and able to withstand bomb blasts, explosions, and high-wind speeds.
The anti-theft window film ranges from 4 millimeters to 7 millimeters thick and has break strengths ranging from 100lbs per inch to 350lbs per inch, depending on what Safety and Security film type you choose.
Local businesses successfully prevented unwanted break-ins after installing this Safety & Security Window Film Series, including a local jewelry shop in Tampa that negated an attempted robbery in 2020.
3M™ Safety and Security Film Also Adds Sun Protection
Natural sunlight offers many health benefits, and with 3M™ Scotchshield Safety and Security Film Ultra Prestige Series you can add a layer of protection – not just from unwanted intruders – but also the harmful effects of the sun.
According to UT Southwestern Medical Center, most standard windows only shield you from UVB rays but are not able to block UVA rays. UVA ray exposure can directly increase your probability of developing skin cancer. With Ultra Prestige safety film installed on windows, 99% of all UV rays are blocked, giving you better sun protection.
You also can still enjoy the view. The visible light transmission of Ultra Prestige window tinting ranges from 26% to 68% depending on the tint level, which allows for more control on the natural light streaming into a home or office.
For those worried about heat levels, 3M’s state-of-the-art Ultra Prestige Series is able to reject 97% of infrared rays, which are the rays that produce the most heat.
This is because 3M’s Prestige series films are constructed using hundreds of layers of film, each one designed to deflect the sun’s heat-producing infrared rays. Studies have shown that 3M’s films work best when the sun is overhead, during the hottest part of the day.
Therefore, safety & security window films aren’t just about an additional layer of security, but also about lessening the harmful effects of sun exposure.
3M™ Anti-Graffiti Film Also Adds a Layer of Security
Businesses or areas prone to graffiti should consider 3M™ Anti-Graffiti Film, which adds a layer of protection against scratches, gouges and tagging.
The film adheres to windows or mirrors and are ideal for high traffic areas that might fall victim to vandalism. Rather than having to replace the entire window or mirror, simply peal back and replace the film.
