Security Window Film Without A Proper Attachment System is an EPIC FAIL!

Watch this EPIC FAIL!

This video is an example of Security Window Film with an attachment system installed INCORRECTLY!

Securing a building with Security Film is the first step – but without the CORRECT attachment system the film is useless and a waste of money! Below is an example of  3M 8Mil Security Window Film with the proper attachment system installed by certified installers…..

Whether you are thinking about having security film installed, or if you have security film with an attachment system installed at your school or business already – ensure it’s installed per the manufacturers specifications.  You should not live with a false sense of security. Five Star and Secure Education’s Jason Russell have evaluated many attachment systems and security film installs that have failed. Together we are offering a free initial assessment and evaluation of buildings with and without security film.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month!

Skin Cancer is the Most Common Type of Cancer in the US.

It can almost always be cured when it’s found & treated early

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection

Window film is a wise investment for many reasons – but most importantly an excellent strategy to protect you and your family from harmful UV rays.

Window film provides a wide range of benefits in one simple solution:
  • Protection from harmful UV rays
  • Up to 30% energy savings
  • Protection from flying glass in the event of breakage
  • Deterrent against break-ins
  • Enhanced look and privacy
  • Solar control/glare control
  • Increased interior comfort
  • Window film is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation

Unless specially coated, glass offers no protection from UVA rays, which cause both aging and skin cancer. To protect yourself, your children and even your pets, you need protection from UVA and UVB rays. Window film blocks 99% of both UVA and UVB year-round. It’s like sunscreen for your home!

Custom Printing for Glass – A Decorative Window Film Application

Printing on window film is an effective way to add distraction privacy or a decorative element to plain glass – whether it be a wall of windows, conference room, cubicle glass, or even a glass table.  Check out some of our work below:

Priority Health offices on East Beltline, Grand Rapids

This hexagon pattern (above) printed on optically clear window film was installed for decorative flair as well as distraction privacy in a healthcare facility.

 

Glass Table Design at Custer

This custom design was printed in reverse – applied to the underside of a glass table.  The black design was printed first – and then an opaque white ink was printed over the entire area.  Our technicians applied the printed film to the underside of the table – and then cut out it’s unique shape.
