Glass Safety

Using window films can provide protection from harmful glass shards and prevent shattered glass from injuring others.

 Most people are aware of the dangers of broken glass, but few know that window tinting and glass coat­ing can stop shattered glass from separating into sharp pieces that can cause injury and damage property. There are even films that can withstand explosions.

Of course the most common exposure to shattered glass is in vehicle accidents. Auto glass has a few safety features, the windshield often has a coating that works much like window tint, holding it together even when it is damaged. Side windows are designed to shatter into very small chunks of glass so there are no large glass pieces that are more dangerous. The smaller glass pieces however, are still dangerous especially for children. This is where window tinting really helps protect you and your passengers. The window film will hold the glass together to stop small glass shards from flying around and causing injury.

 Buildings and homes can benefit greatly from window films as well. There are many safety and security films designed to prevent shattered glass due to accidents, severe weather, and explosions. Some of these security films can even prevent break-ins and burglary by strengthening the glass creating a clear barrier without unsightly steel bars or metal enclosures.
