Add an Extra Layer of Protection to Your Home: All About Security Film

Oakville Windows & Doors • April 18, 2024

At Oakville Windows & Doors Inc., we're staunch believers that securing your home starts right at its windows and doors. That's why we're bringing to light a top-tier safety solution that not only adds an extra layer of protection to your home but also enhances its overall appeal - Security Film. Have you noticed the drastic rise in break-ins in our community? The intruders need just seconds to break the door glass or sidelight glass and open your door. Within minutes they have found your keys and have left with your car. We can help you buy precious time and deter them in the process.


UNDERSTANDING SECURITY


Simply put, security film is a thin, transparent, and tough material applied directly to your window glass. It acts as an invisible barrier, safeguarding your home from break-ins, accidents, and even nature's sometimes harsh elements. But what makes it an outstanding addition to your home? Let's dissect this.


OFFERING UNPARALLELED PROTECTION


BURGLARY DETERRENT


A prime benefit of security film is its anti-burglary feature. The film makes the windows harder to breach, preventing potential thieves from gaining easy access to your home. Even if the glass is shattered, the film holds the broken pieces together, making it extremely challenging for intruders to break in.


SAFETY FROM ACCIDENTS


Accidents happen, and sometimes they involve our windows. A stray ball from a neighbor's backyard, an unlucky bird strike, or even a slip of the hand can result in a shattered window. With security film, these mishaps won't lead to dangerous shards scattered throughout your home. The film holds the glass together, minimizing the risk of injury from broken glass.


WEATHER PROTECTION


In the face of severe weather—be it heavy winds, hail, or storm-borne debris—windows with security film stand a better chance. The film protects the glass from shattering upon impact, keeping your home safe from potential damage.


ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND UV PROTECTION


Besides the protective benefits of security film, other films perform other functions such as improving your home’s energy efficiency by blocking solar heat and keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.  In addition, it blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading. There are films for decorative purposes or simply for privacy.


ENHANCING YOUR HOME'S AESTHETICS


On top of the innumerable benefits, security film can enhance the aesthetics of your home. It’s available in various tones and finishes, allowing you to match it perfectly with your home’s style while maintaining a clear view from your windows.


SECURITY FILM INSTALLATION


Having known the benefits, you might wonder about the installation process. At Oakville Windows & Doors Inc., our skilled team ensures a seamless and quick application without disturbing the comfort of your home. The installation involves cleaning and preparing the windows, applying the film, and finally trimming it to fit the window size perfectly. Rest assured, the process leaves no mess behind.


COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION


Adding security film to your home's windows and doors is a cost-effective solution compared to investing in tempered or laminated glass. It provides similar if not better protection, energy efficiency and UV protection at a fraction of the cost.
