These days people in Phoenix and around the country want to feel safer in their homes.  This is in large part because they are spending so much more time at home now.  But also because the times we live in are a bit more volatile and crime is high.  A way to both feel and be safer is with window film. It is a technology that protects you from various threats to your home and your family’s well-being.   Also, it is one of the most cost-effective ways to get a safety and security upgrade to your Phoenix Home

Window Film for Protection Against Slip and Falls

Slip and falls are dangerous–especially into glass areas in bathrooms, around pools, and at the end of stairs–where they happen most. They threaten the well-being of children or aging parents.  The glass in these areas should not be plate glass but sometimes it still is.  When a fall into a piece of plate glass occurs the damage could be devastating and even deadly.  This is why codes dictate that glass around these features be safety glass.  Window film is a safety or tempered glass alternative. It stops the glass from breaking into large deadly shards. Instead, glass adhered to safety and security film will break into small, less harmful pieces–making slip and falls less dangerous. 

Window Film to Protect Against UV Rays

The sunshine here in Phoenix is prolific. It is what attracts many people to this area.  However, these UV rays are dangerous.  Since glass offers little to no protection from UV rays–having window film is a way to stay protected.  It blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays that could cause cancers and other skin and eye diseases.  In fact, some would say window tint is like having sunscreen for your Phoenix home.

Film to Stay Safer During Natural Disasters

Here in Arizona, the weather is pretty nice but we do see some pretty brutal desert storms. One of the biggest dangers during these events is broken glass from flying debris. If you are near a window when it gets struck it could be deadly–at the very least harmful.  When you have window film on your Phoenix home it will stop the glass from breaking into large dangerous shards.  The small shards will stay adhered to the film even after a high-velocity blow. This protects you and your family from harm.
