Protect Your Property and Privacy With Security Film

Many people are familiar with window tint on automobiles; however, we chose to specialize solely in residential and commercial applications. We provide service to large commercial projects such as school districts and hospitals as well as single windows in homes. By electing to focus only on architectural window tinting and not automobiles, Tint by Toalson offers superior workmanship in these settings.

There is a lot of growing interest today in security film, and I will explain what exactly it is and if it can be a solution in your home or business. Safety and security film is a product that goes over the existing glass and is anchored to the frame using specialized caulking, and the security film can be either clear or tinted. This film will drastically slow or completely stop individuals from breaking the glass and being able to gain access to a building from a window or door. If a window is struck or hit with an object, the glass may crack, but the security film will hold it in place. The main purpose of security film is to prevent an intruder from gaining immediate access into a building in the case of an attempted break in.

I personally wanted to test this product, and I applied security film to a 4-foot by 8-foot piece of glass and tested it at a gun range with local law enforcement. The glass was shot with four different calibers over 40 times and then repeatedly struck with a baseball bat.

While this product cannot be sold as bulletproof, the glass all held in place, and we could not gain access. For this test, I also used a mirrored tinted security film; this prevents an intruder from seeing in from the outside, adding an additional level of security for your home or business.

We have applied security film to many businesses, churches, homes, hospitals, and school districts. Adding security film to your home or business may lower your insurance costs as well by preventing access through the glass. There are currently grants available that can cover this service. Let us know if we can help keep your home or business safer by adding security film.
