Protect Your Home with Security Window Film: The Ultimate Solution for Family Safety and Storm Protection in South East Queensland
In South East Queensland, we’re fortunate to enjoy long summers with hot, balmy days and warm nights perfect for outdoor entertaining. However, this tropical climate also brings unpredictable, violent storms that can cause significant damage to homes and properties. These intense storms often come with strong winds, torrential rain, and hail as large as golf balls—posing serious threats to both your property and your family’s safety.
Why You Need Security Windows and Shatterproof Window Film
Traditionally, Queensland homes have only secured the opening sections of their windows and doors, leaving the fixed glass panels vulnerable to criminals, projectiles, and hailstones. With the increasing frequency of extreme storms, protecting all areas of your windows—including fixed glass panels—is essential for the security and safety of your home.
When strong winds and large hailstones hit, the glass in your windows can easily break, allowing water to flood into your home and cause water damage. More dangerously, flying glass shards from shattered windows can lead to serious injuries. For instance, after a recent storm in Highgate Hill and Annerley, we saw glass shards embedded in plaster walls 3 meters away from the window. Protecting your home with security window film and shatterproof film can prevent such dangers.
How 3M Security & Storm Window Film Can Protect Your Home
At Alcom Security, we recommend 3M Security & Storm films to reinforce your home’s windows. 3M first developed security window film over 50 years ago in response to the dangerous flying glass caused by bombings in England. Since then, 3M has continually improved the strength and durability of its security films, providing a reliable solution to protect your home from storm damage, break-ins, and injury.
3M’s multi-layered security films enhance the strength and tear resistance of your windows. Each layer is flexible, allowing the film to stretch slightly upon impact, which helps prevent tearing when the glass shatters. This innovative technology ensures that your windows remain intact during severe weather conditions, reducing the risk of injury from flying glass and providing vital protection to your family.
Benefits of 3M Security Window Film
- Shatterproof Protection: The flexible layers of 3M security film prevent glass from shattering into dangerous shards. Even if the glass breaks, the film holds the pieces together, reducing injury risks and keeping your home secure.
- Protection from Hail and Projectiles: The multi-layered security film can withstand high winds, hail, and other projectiles, safeguarding your home and family from harm.
- UV & Heat Protection: 3M security films reduce up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture, carpets, and artwork from fading. The film also comes in various tints that can reject up to 63% of heat and 73% of glare, helping to keep your home cool and comfortable while still allowing natural light in.
- Preserved Aesthetic Appeal: The clear security window film won’t alter the appearance of your windows, maintaining the beauty of your home’s design while providing additional protection.
- Family Safety: The primary benefit of security window film is ensuring your family’s safety during storms or break-in attempts. By adding a protective layer to your windows, you help mitigate the risks posed by extreme weather and security threats.
Tint Options for Extra Protection
For homeowners looking for additional comfort, 3M security film is available in tinted options. These tinted films offer extra heat rejection, reduce glare, and enhance privacy—all while still providing the same level of shatterproof protection. This is ideal for homes in regions like Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, where extreme weather is common.
