WHY USE SPF WINDOW TINTING?
Reduce the Risk of Intrusion
Windows are (and always have been) the quickest way for people to gain access to someplace they’re not supposed to be. And if they’re going in through a smashed window, it’s usually because time is something they don’t have much of. With a safety and security window film applied, the glass will break – but not shatter. Preventing the intruder from entering quickly will leave him wondering what to do next. In most cases, the answer is simple: move on.
Mitigate the Dangers of Blasts
The blast from a bomb can cause major destruction. Flying glass shards are a leading cause of injury and death in blast situations. Blast mitigation films and anchoring restraint systems are available through us here at SPF Window Tinting. We have blast tests that adhere to the protocols outlined by the U.S. General Services Administration’s Standard Test Method for Glazing and Window Systems Subject to Dynamic Overpressure Loadings.
Stop Unwanted Vandalism
Vandalism is more than just a nuisance and eyesore, it’s also a huge financial drain to public and private budgets. The cost of repeatedly replacing windows and glass that has been scratched up or marked with spray-paint can end up being prohibitive, not to mention time consuming and disruptive. Graffiti-Free is a window coating for the commercial and retail marketplace. When vandals do strike, it won't be permanent. The window stays put and just the film is replaced at a fraction of the cost. Graffiti-Free can also be used on many non-porous surfaces other than glass.
Lessen the Damage done during Natural Disasters
During storms, when high-powered winds are allowed to enter a structure, they can collapse it from the inside. By preventing the glass from shattering, safety film not only prevents potential physical harm, but also keeps winds from rushing inside and doing serious structural damage. During an earthquake, SafetyShield holds glass together under the most extreme conditions, minimizing injury to those nearby, both inside and out. It's convenient, permanent and most importantly, a more effective alternative to boarding or taping your windows.
