Did you know that there are many different types of security window film you can get for your San Antonio home or building? It’s true. Thanks to technology, security window films have evolved greatly over the years. Today, there are many options that property owners can choose from besides the standard safety films.
In this article, we’ll discuss the various types of security window films available today as well as how to choose the right one for your property.
What Kind of Protection Do Security Window Films Provide?
Security window films are designed to reinforce the most vulnerable parts of your property – windows, doors, and areas made of glass. In addition to preventing injuries, they also protect against break-ins, natural disasters, and many other threats. Different types of films are designed to protect against different extremities of impact. Some are meant for basic accident protection whereas others are designed to protect against severe dangers.
Types of Security Window Film
The type of security window film you need depends on a few factors. First, what type of property you plan to install it for. For example, you do not need a high grade bomb blast window film for your home. Secondly, what your biggest safety or security threats are. And lastly, of course, how much you’re willing to spend. Here is some information about the different types of security window films available in San Antonio:
Safety Window Film
Standard safety window film is what most people choose to install for their home. These are the most affordable of the different types. They’re great for preventing accidents, but don’t expect bulletproof protection.
Theft Prevention
Security window films, designed for theft prevention, are slightly stronger and thicker than standard safety films. These films are designed to deter intruders and prevent smash and grabs. They are great for either residential or commercial use.
Bomb Blast Protection
Bomb blast protection window films are designed to protect buildings and their occupants during explosions. These films are considerably strong and are able to resist high levels of impact, hurricane-like winds, and other serious dangers. Common applications include schools, banks, and airports.

Ballistic Resistant
Ballistic resistant window film systems are a relatively new technology. They’re held in place by a special primer which improves the molecular structure of the glass. These window films are pricey, but the level of protection they provide is unmatched. Often, they’re used for military buildings and government buildings, but are also being adopted by some schools and transit systems.
