Are 3M Safety and Security Window Films hurricane-proof? Bullet-Proof? Burglar-Proof?
No, 3M Safety & Security Window Films are not hurricane-proof,
earthquake-proof, bullet-proof, bomb-proof, nor burglar-proof. Again,
they are designed to make the window glass more shatter-resistant.
In the event of a windstorm, these window films may have significant
safety and security value. They can reduce the risk of injury from
flying shards of broken glass, and possibly help prevent debris and
water penetration through the window depending on the severity of the
storm (and the type of glass, framing system, size and velocity of
objects, and more).
In an earthquake, these window films can reduce the risk of serious injury
from flying shards of broken glass, and possibly prevent glass from
falling out of a home or building. Again, much may depend upon the
severity of the quake (and the type of glass, framing system, and more,
too).
