In Orange County, where the sun shines bright and the concerns for personal and property safety never rest, ensuring the security of our homes is a topic that resonates deeply with every homeowner. At Orange County Window Film, we specialize in an innovative solution known as anti-shatter film, designed specifically to toughen the glass in our windows and doors, thereby enhancing the security and safety of our homes.
Enhances Home Security Against Break-Ins
One of the foremost threats to residential safety in Orange County is break-ins through windows, which are often seen as vulnerable points of entry. Anti-shatter film addresses this head-on by reinforcing glass panes making them significantly harder to breach. The film employs a layering process that holds the glass together, even when shattered. This delays any attempts at forced entry, allowing more time for an alarm system to activate or for homeowners to respond. In fact, properties protected by safety window films like our Orange County anti-shatter film experience a notable improvement in security. The formidable tear resistance and tensile strength of around 31,500 psi make it an excellent preventive measure against burglaries.
Provides Safety from Accidental Breakage
Living in California means being accustomed to unexpected earthquakes. The safety offered by anti-shatter film extends beyond theft to include protection from accidents at home. Whether it’s natural forces or human error causing a window to break, the film ensures that glass pieces remain adhered to the film, significantly reducing the risk of injury from flying glass shards.
Protection Against Severe Weather
Given the sporadic yet intense weather seen in Orange County, ranging from fierce winds to sudden hailstorms, our anti-shatter film also serves a protective role against harsh weather conditions. By keeping the shattered glass in place, our film prevents potential water damage and injury that can ensue from glass fragments becoming airborne during a storm.
Offers UV Protection and Energy Benefits
It is well-known that prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage interiors, fading furniture and impacting energy costs unfavorably. While our primary goal is to enhance security, it’s a significant advantage that our anti-shatter film blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays. This not only protects the residents and their belongings but also contributes to energy savings by reducing heat gain and thus, the need for air conditioning.
Easy to Install and Less Intrusive Than Other Security Measures
Unlike major renovations or the installation of bars over windows, anti-shatter film is far less intrusive and can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to daily life. Its subtle appearance does not alter the aesthetic look of your home, maintaining your view and your home’s curb appeal, while discreetly providing an added layer of protection.
As we continually strive to improve the safety and security of homes in our community, integrating proven and effective measures like anti-shatter film remains a top priority. The substantial benefits, from burglary prevention and accident safety to storm protection and UV filtering, provide peace of mind and real-world utility.
