Being Prepared for the Worst
Sometimes the threat is from
nature, other times people. No matter where the threat comes from, 3M™
Safety and Security Window Films can help you be prepared for the worst.
Severe Weather and Hurricanes
When natural disasters like hurricanes, tornados, high winds and
earthquakes hit, there is little you can do to protect your home or
building. But by planning ahead, your home or building can be prepared for
the worst. Glass can be your worst enemy in severe weather and storms.
When unprotected glass breaks, shards can be sent flying causing severe
injury to people and major damage to property. During these disasters, 3M
Safety and Security Window Films help to keep flying glass from harming
inhabitants and, in many circumstances, will help to keep out wind and
rain.
Street Crime
3M Safety and Security Window Films also help you deter street crime.
Because the window film helps hold the glass in place, criminals do not
have the quick access they need to successfully smash and grab
merchandise. Often the window slows them down to such a degree that they
may choose to move on to an easier target.
Bomb Blasts
As unpleasant as it might be to consider, the threat of bomb blasts in
this world is very real. Like natural disasters, a bomb blast also turns
unprotected glass into dangerous flying shards. 3M Safety and Security
Window Films with an added 3M Impact Protection System have proven in real-world situations to have seriously
mitigated the damage from bomb blasts and helped protect lives.
3M Impact Protection System
The Impact Protection Adhesive and Profile systems give homeowners and
commercial building owners more options in choosing the safety and
security solution that best suits their needs. For more information,
please go to 3M Impact Protection.
Tinted Security Films
3M Safety and Security Window Films are also available in tinted versions
(Night Vision and Prestige Series)
to help with fading, heat gain and glare reduction.
Damage From the Sun
Over time, the
powerful UV rays of the sun can do enormous damage to merchandise,
upholstery, carpet, wallpaper, window treatments and wood. You can always
pull the drapes. But what is the use of having windows if you can't enjoy
the view? 3M Safety & Security Window Films are designed to reduce the effects of
solar heat and visible light on your furnishings and will block up to 99.9%
of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, which are the single largest cause
of fading. While no film can stop fading completely, our films
dramatically slow the progress of fading.
Discomfort From the Sun
Sun control problems also make keeping a home or building
comfortable a difficult job. One side gets too hot in the morning; another
too hot in the afternoon. And whichever side is too hot, the other side is
too cold. And throughout it all, your air conditioner is working overtime.
With tinted 3M Safety and Security Window Films, you will add the feature of
blocking out the heat of the sun and reducing glare. The result is greater
comfort, less eye fatigue and lower energy bills.
A Better-Looking Building
The tinted versions of
3M Safety and Security
Window Films can keep the exterior of
your building looking good. It gives your building an attractive,
consistent look by hiding the disarray of half-drawn drapes and blinds,
and giving all windows a uniform appearance.
