The security fragment retention physical security criteria was developed in the aftermath of terrorist attacks including the Oklahoma City bombing and embassy bombings around the world.

The Federal guidelines are typically referred to as GSA blast criteria and subsequently testing done for the Department of Defense.

The following window film choices and brands have met and exceeded these requirements. There is no additional test of strength by the Federal government and any implied superiority by any manufacturer is strictly a sale pitch rather than a safety advantage.

Sliding Glass Door Security Problems:

secure

Statistics show that most intruders gain access through the front door of homes.

Florida is particularly vulnerable for break-ins through sliding glass doors, which are very popular here in Florida.

Smash-and-grab is the most common entry through glass doors, with a brick, rock or just about anything lying nearby as the only tool needed to gain entry to your home.

Window Film Hardens Sliding Glass Doors

  • Window Film: One simple way to guard your sliding glass doors is the professional installation of our thicker solar or clear shatter glazing security films.

  • The window film will help hold the shards of glass together making it much more difficult for the intruders to get through (and reduce your cleanup and potential injuries).

We anchor the film to the frames and glass which makes it extremely difficult for burglars to push the glass out of the frame.

We also recommend that glass adjacent to your front door and pool bath doors be protected with these security films.

The objective is to delay the entry.

secure

Making it difficult for the burglar(s) to enter can make all the difference in preventing substantial loss of valuables as well as life safety protection.

Recent statistics indicate that 64% of all home burglaries is through your windows and sliders.

Our shatter films provide that peace of mind and can reduce your monthly electric costs if you select a solar control version.
