Solar Tint’s 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films help protect lives and property by a combination of innovations you’ve come to expect from 3M.

Terrorist Bombings
The scary and heart-wrenching scenes on TV are all too familiar: Shattered windows, bleeding victims, shocked and dismayed witnesses to a terrorist attack. Terrorists pose a big threat to building security, but the threat can be reduced by using Solar Tint Safety & Security Window Films.

Blast studies show that many of the lost lives and injuries result from shards of glass flying through the air. When shattered by a bomb blast, an ordinary window is broken into thousands of deadly airborne daggers that blind and maim people. Our Safety & Security Films can help be a cost effective measure to gain immediate protection from this threat.

Although the film doesn’t stop glass breakage, it does help keep the glass fragments together and prevent flying shards.  All of the Safety & Security Films we install have been put through the Safety Impact Tests.  Contact us today to find out why our nation’s capitol, many other buildings, and our troops vehicles are protected with 3M™ Safety & Security Window Film.

Industrial Explosions
Blasts don’t only come from terrorists.  Petrochemical plant explosions have killed hundreds of people in the last year alone.  Blast studies show that most of the deaths and injuries to personel in petrochemical facility explosions result from shards of glass flying through the air.  Solar Tint’s Safety & Security Films can help be a cost effective measure to gain immediate protection.

Grab Crimes
Although large glass windows at street level are one of the best ways commercial merchants and service businesses have to showcase their product or service, these areas are increasingly at risk from “smash and grab” vandalism.  According to the FBI’s Unified Crime Report, almost 70% of all burglaries involve forced entry through a window or door.  Since unprotected glass is easiest to enter, windows are most commonly involved.

Help reduce your risk, like thousands of others in the tri-state (including Staples, Lenscrafters, and Walgreens), to “smash and grab” crime with Solar Tint Safety & Security Window Film.  Handheld weapons such as a hammer, bat, crowbar, or brick might shatter the glass, but it requires prolonged attention-getting blows to get thru safety film.  Generally a burglar cannot risk the time and attention to break through and will abandon the attempt.

Severe Weather
The most vulnerable part of any building or residential home to high winds or hurricanes is its windows.  Most of the damage and injuries from the Atlanta tornado in March was due to broken windows.  High winds propel debris into unprotected windows and shatter them.  With the exterior “envelope” compromised, winds rush into the building and create pressures high enough to blow the roof and walls apart.  Help protect your building envelope with our Safety & Security Film, which have a very high resistance to tearing even after they have been punctured by hurling debris unlike other films.
Earthquakes
Glass breakage as a result of earthquakes has been identified as a potential hazard by civil authorities.  During an earthquake, the broken glass can damage the contents of a building or even cause serious injury or death.  Thousands died earlier this month in China due to a horrific earthquake.  Reduce your risk to quake damage with Solar Tint’s 3M™ Safety & Security Film.  3M’s Ultraflex installation method is highly resistant to dynamic racking motions experienced during an earthquake.
