RIOT PROOF GLASS

PREVENT FUTURE BREAK-INS with Window Film!

Downtown Grand Rapids Vandalism During Protest Saturday, May 30, 2020

Civil unrest that leads to community vandalism & looting; smash and grab burglaries; intruders who pose a threat to residences, schools and government buildings; bomb blast mitigation; earthquakes and other natural causes or disasters are all great reasons to protect a building with Safety and Security Film.

SAVE YOUR BUSINESS!

Glass doors and windows are among the most vulnerable points of entry into businesses and pose as one of the greatest dangers when the glass is broken. Securing your building with Security Film:

  • Increases security and provides added protection against the crime of vandalism and smash and grab burglaries.
  • Mitigates hazards from shattered glass due to natural and human causes.
  • Helps provide protection to people and property from flying glass in natural disasters.
