August 31, 2021 by Carol S Leave a Comment

Feeling safe is one of the top reasons people choose window film

For each month of 2021, we’re offering special discounts on different window films. For September, our discount is on 3M security window film. Please mention that you saw this article so you can get the discount! Here’s our post about Window Works’ Ten Year Anniversary!

Onto 3M security window film

We receive a lot of calls from people about security window film. Often those calls start out something like this: “What will keep our glass together in case there’s a storm?” Or “Our neighbor’s tree fell through their glass window–can window film help protect us in case our tree falls over?” And to both questions, the answer is yes–security window film can help protect you and your family. We’ve written about security window film before: How to Choose the Best Security Window Film. You can see some examples of different types of security window film–for instance, 3M Ultra S800 Security Film with 3M IPA helps protect against flying glass shards when a window is broken.

Reasons to choose 3M security window film

Live near a golf course or driving range? Stray golf balls may threaten you. If you live next door to a school, baseballs could fly your way. Or you may be a small business with a window that is vulnerable to break-ins, such as in certain downtown areas. If you have a restaurant you may want to protect diners from the threat of broken glass. These are just a few of the reasons you might choose 3M security window film. There are a few other reasons right on 3M’s website.

Huge Storms, Fires, and Breakins

More of our friends have installed security systems in their homes and small businesses recently. If you’re being evacuated due to a storm, a security system is a good way to ensure your home is safe while you’re away. Same with fires–people want to know what’s happening with their home or business. But did you know that anything that slows down a burglar for even a few seconds can make that burglar try a different door or window? Best case scenario is if the burglar goes away altogether! Window film can give you those extra few seconds and make your home that much more secure.

Shhh! It’s our secret!

No one needs to know if you have installed security window film. Since it’s invisible, no one will know it’s there. And unless they have a trained eye, they won’t notice it at all. It’s our little secret. Like other window films, it’s invisible. But you’ll feel more secure knowing it’s there.

Can’t Decide? Give Us a Call!

We’d love to discuss any kind of window film with you, whether it’s 3M security window film or not. We’re all over the San Francisco Bay Area, from the South Bay to San Francisco to Marin to the East Bay. Here’s our customer care number for your convenience: 415.650.5200.

How to Choose the Best Security Window Film For Commercial Property

Security window film has become quite popular in San Francisco lately. No one needs to know that you have security window film installed, since it’s invisible. Security window film can help to reduce breakins and burglaries. Today we’re focusing on a couple of commercial clients and the window film they’ve chosen for their properties.

3M Ultra S800 Security Film with 3M IPA

3M Ultra S800 Security Film with 3M IPA (Impact Protection Attachment) is a fantastic way to protect your commercial property. 3M security film helps protect against flying glass shards when a window is broken, while it also protects against smash and grab burglaries. It also significantly blocks the amount of harmful UV rays that cause fading, helping to extend the life of furnishings. Retail stores often opt for 3M Ultra since their merchandise is protected against damaging UV rays which would cause clothing, accessories, or furnishings to fade.

3M Ultra S800 Security Film with 3M IPA, 3M 6mil Anti-Graffiti Film

In addition to the 3M Ultra that we mentioned above, certain commercial clients often want to add anti-graffiti film. In some urban areas, graffiti is rampant. If you think that your windows are at risk of being defaced with scratches, acid etching gouges and tagging, 3M™ Anti-Graffiti Film is a good choice. The film can easily be removed and replaced, saving you the enormous cost, time, and hassle of replacing your glass. Not to mention how well you’ll sleep knowing that your glass is secure.
