No matter the industry, safety is a top priority for business. It’s important to regularly inspect your building for safety hazards and also have a plan in place for emergency situations that may arise so that you can prevent accidents and injuries from occurring in the workplace.
A smart and fairly easy way to improve the security of your San Diego building is to install safety window film. Safety window film strengthens windows located in high risk areas like entrances, stairways, restrooms, and above ground floors, and reduce the risk of workplace accidents and injuries.

Safety Window Film for Glass Strengthening
Windows are undoubtedly the most vulnerable part of a building. They’re always the first thing to break when someone trips and falls. And bird strikes and windswept debris can shatter glass instantly. That’s why modern building codes require tempered safety glass or an alternative for windows located near areas near stairs, pools, showers, and other places where moisture collects or slip and falls occur.
Up until recently, tempered glass was the go-to solution for updating windows for enhanced safety. But now businesses are looking for more affordable options. And they’ve discovered window film as a solution. When reinforced with the a strong priming agent or security attachment system, window film tremendously increases the shatter resistance of glass. Some window tinting products even double or triple glass strength. It’s also a great fail-safe to have in case the glass break, since the film will contain the splintered fragments.
What’s the Process for Installing Window Film?
The first step in the process for installing window film is to locate a trustworthy contractor. Property owners should take care to select a contractor that has a good reputation in the local community and can prove a continuous track record of success.
Once you contact your contractor, they will schedule an appointment to come out and inspect your building. During this time, site measurements may be taken as well. On the day of installation, the glass area will be cleaned, primed, and inspected before the film is applied. Then, the film is allowed to dry and set. When it achieves full clarity, you’ll know that it has set completely and your safety film is securely in place.
