3M Safety and Security Window Film’s Diverse Selection

1. Standard Security Films

Standard 3M safety and security window films offer a subtle yet sophisticated approach to comprehensive window security. These films come in a substantial range of thicknesses to offer a customizable level of safety. When combined with a recommended attachment solution, such as the U.S. Film Crew–preferred Dow 995 sealant, any of these films can provide a robust defense against the dangers of broken glass.

This category encompasses a variety of clear, abrasion-resistant, multi-layer polyester films that rely on thickness and strong adhesive to help protect inhabitants from glass breakage due to accidents, seismic activity, or forced entry attempts. If the glass is struck and shattered, the film holds the shards together, creating safer containment measures and additional time for emergency response when needed.

2. Solar Security Films

For property owners looking to improve energy efficiency and comfort in addition to window security, 3M safety and security window film has another promising option: solar security film. These innovative products combine the advantages of a security film with the energy-saving, temperature-preserving, and sunlight-shielding properties of a solar control film. A reflective exterior surface bounces sunlight back outward, reducing heat gain while improving interior privacy.

These films come in a variety of thicknesses, tint levels, and sub-categories. For example, 3M’s Ultra Night Vision Series supplements the advantages of a typical reflective solar security film with superior nighttime visibility technology, allowing owners to maintain a clear view even during the evening hours, when interior lighting would normally pose a challenge.

3. Heavy-Duty Security Films

For areas such as schools, government facilities, and other such locations in need of superior security solutions, 3M also offers several heavy-duty security window film options. 3M’s partnership with Scotchshield represents the cutting edge of security film technology, producing impressive products such as the 3M Scotchshield Safety & Security Window Film System S2400 — the first film of its kind to offer 24-mil thickness for unbeatable protection.

These heavy-duty films offer even greater levels of blast resistance, shock absorption, and tear resistance than their standard counterparts, thereby providing even more substantial protection and far more time for response in the event of an attempted breach. The combination of thick urethane and advanced adhesive technology makes these films an unparalleled safety measure for windows of all shapes, sizes, and locations.
