Safety Window Film – A Safety Glass Alternative Solution

There is nothing quite like remodeling an old house.  Taking that which is old and turning into something new and relevant is utterly rewarding.  It is like pulling a little piece of history into the 21st century and preserving it for years to come for your family to enjoy. While the satisfaction of renovating an old house is there, the risk of spending way more than you ever intended to is always looming.  You never know what you are going to find behind an old wall or in ancient pipes and drains. So, whether you are doing your home yourself or having someone remodel it for you, looking for value at every turn is the key to having no regrets and maybe even a little money left in your pocket when you are through.  At Window Film Dallas, we have helped hundreds of vintage home owners save significantly on their renovations by introducing them to the idea of using security window film, instead of tempered glass to satisfy building codes.  That’s right, you can save money and enjoy a host of other benefits with security window film as an alternative to shatterproof glass in areas like bathroom, staircases, around pools and on balconies, where tempered glass is required by law.

Benefits Of Safety Glass For Your Dallas Home

When considering safety and security window film instead of tempered glass for your Dallas antique home remodel–think about the added benefits you will get!

Cost

Likely the best thing about using safety window film instead of tempered glass is the cost. Tempered glass is very expensive and removing old glass is extremely time-consuming. Safety and security film can be applied in only one day and costs 50%-75% less.

Storm Protection

Safety film keeps your home’s glass and family protected in the case of an earthquake, and wind-related storms with flying debris. It does this by stopping dangerous debris from flying around when a glass window shatters. Window safety film holds the broken glass in place.

Home Security

While window safety glass won’t totally stop an intruder but it definitely will slow them down! A huge factor in home security, thwarting an intruder is buying you more time for you to call 911 and escape or get to a safe room to defend yourself. Security films resist tearing and make windows much more difficult to penetrate.  It helps hold glass fragments together after impact–meaning the intruder has to work hard and for a long time to actually get in.
