Having a glass storefront is a great asset for a business. Potential customers can window shop and see the products you sell. Glass storefronts let in a ton of natural light and have a modern and clean look. While glass storefronts have a ton of benefits, they do have a few risks. Safety is one of those risks. Especially in today's society, safety is so important and should be at the top of every business owner's priority list.
Like we just said, glass windows pose serious security risks to people inside and outside of your storefront. Glass breaks easily and shards of glass spread everywhere, which can be really dangerous. In addition to being fragile, all it takes is one intruder’s blow to get inside. It's really easy for intruders to break through glass and once they get inside, they can get their hands on merchandise, money, and valuable items like laptops that contain sensitive information. Glass windows are also a risk for accidents like wayward cars, terrorist threats, strong winds and earthquakes; all of which can break windows and leave shattered glass everywhere.
If you have a glass storefront, you do have a few different options when it comes to adding security. Window bars can be installed to the outside of windows, but are an ugly, permanent reminder that the area might be unsafe. Beyond just the glass, window alarms can be installed to alert you once the glass has been shattered. You can also install physical window locks to discourage would-be thieves from prying the window open.
Another added safety precaution you can take is installing security window film. Yes, we are a window film company so we are going to discuss this one in further detail😊. Security window film is a very affordable and easy way to protect your storefront from intruders and natural disasters. The best way to protect your business’ windows is to strengthen the glass itself, and security window film is installed directly on the glass. Security window film can cover the whole glass surface making it harder to physically break the glass. In fact, window security film strengthens glass by 2-3 times.
If the glass does break, security film helps contain the shards, making the clean up much easier and safer. Another added bonus is that security window film comes in both a tinted option and a clear option. If you decide to go with the tinted security film option your office is protected from prying eyes, and heat from the sun will be reduced. All window film will block 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays -- the primary cause of sun-fading. Installing security window film is a quick and affordable way to strengthen your business’ windows, contain accidental glass breakage, protect goods from sun-damage, and cut cooling costs every day.
Like we said, security is a top priority for business owners. Most business owners do have some sort of security system for their company like motion sensors and alarm systems, but security window film normally isn't part of that list. Security window film is a very affordable way to add on to your security system for peace of mind 24/7.
