Our talented team of tint experts can install window tint film, paint protection film, and security film, in addition to a whole menu of other top-rated luxury car services. One of the most popular services we offer is car security film installation. For the local transportation companies and the safety-minded luxury car owner alike, security film has a wide range of positive benefits that make the upgrade worth the price tag. In today’s post, we’ll review some of the benefits of installing car security film on your vehicle.
Before we can really delve into the benefits of car window security film, we should help distinguish between auto tint and car security film. Auto tint is applied with the purpose and intent of darkening the glass that it covers. Whether this is done for UV protection or enhanced privacy, it only serves to enhance security by hiding the vehicle’s interior from plain sight, and doesn’t offer much of a barrier between passengers and external threats. Car security film, on the other hand, is a highly tensile material that improves the strength and durability of the surface it’s applied to. Security is enhanced because the glass beneath the film is harder to break, and if it is broken, the film prevents shattering.
So, what can security film help with that regular auto tint may not be able to?
Whether it’s an innocent stray golf ball or an ill-intentioned baseball bat, security film forms a barrier between the threat and your glass, helping to prevent glass breaks and making your car harder to steal from. Solar Gard Armorcoat® holds the glass in place to resist impact and prevent shattering. When your luxury car is armed with security film, you can expect reduced chances of a spontaneous glass break.
One of the most common and most dangerous threats during a car accident is broken glass. Whether the enhanced risk is a threat of expulsion through a window or being pelted by broken glass shards, there is no doubt that broken glass complicates the situation for passengers and rescuers. Security film keeps broken glass held firmly in place, significantly reducing the risk of glass injuries during an auto collision.
It’s important to make it clear that security film is not bullet-proof, but it can significantly enhance personal safety by resisting breakage and acting as a shield between the inside of your vehicle and what’s outside. Solar Gard Armorcoat is used by the federal government for blast mitigation and on government vehicles transporting high-profile VIPs. Security glass serves as a shield and is an essential element of your security system.
Security films provide the highest level of impact resistance in the glass protection industry. Security film can’t prevent all glass breaks but can ensure that if the glass does break, the fragments will be held in place, preventing shattering. This keeps the broken glass away from you and your property, offering a high level of protection from the blast itself while reducing the threat of anyone being impaled by glass shards inside or outside. The shock wave from a blast produces incredible amounts of pressure, breaking unprotected glass and hurling shards at very high velocities. Security glass is able to withstand the shock and vibration caused by blasts and effectively prevent secondary injury.
Security film is your best defense against Mother Nature’s unpredictable mood swings. Whether it’s hail, hurricanes, or earthquakes causing the assault, Armorcoat® creates a fortress between you and the environment. While we don’t recommend you weather the storm inside your vehicle, you can rest assured that you’ll be safer if you have to.
Security film offers enhanced solar protection beyond what standard window tint can. High heat rejection resists up to 76% of solar energy, offering improved comfort by reducing ambient air temperatures. Superior solar blocking qualities prevent up to 99% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays from penetrating the glass.
Some of the other product benefits offered by security film for your vehicle include:
When it comes to security film for windows and glass, the industry’s leading brand is Armorcoat® by Solar Gard®. Trusted by the federal government, schools, and security details worldwide, the incredibly tough Armorcoat offers maximal protection. Armorcoat has a resilient adhesive and flexible multi-ply polyester construction that enable it to withstand severe positive and negative pressure – allowing the film to move with the window during a blast.
