Our films are sourced from leading manufacturers like Madico and Llumar, ensuring quality and reliability. Here, we delve into the benefits, features, and applications of safety and security window films and why they are an essential investment for your property.
The Importance of Safety and Security Window Films
Safety and security window films serve as an additional layer of protection for windows, which are often the most vulnerable parts of a building. These films are designed to hold shattered glass in place, preventing injuries and deterring potential intruders. They are a cost-effective solution to enhance the safety and security of your property without compromising on aesthetics.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Protection Against Break-Ins:
Security window films make it significantly harder for intruders to break through glass, thereby acting as a deterrent. The film holds the glass together, making it difficult to shatter completely.
Injury Prevention:
In the event of an impact, whether from a storm, accident, or vandalism, safety films hold the broken glass together, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards.
UV Protection:
Many safety films also provide UV protection, blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which can cause fading of interior furnishings and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Energy Efficiency:
Some security films offer additional benefits such as heat reduction, contributing to lower energy costs by keeping interiors cooler.
Natural Disaster Mitigation:
During hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, safety films can prevent glass from shattering, minimizing damage and enhancing safety.

Case Study: Enhancing Security in Religious Facilities
Religious Facility Security Upgrade:
In recent years, places of worship have become increasingly aware of the need for heightened security measures to protect their congregations. A prominent church in Fairfax, Virginia, took proactive steps to enhance its security, focusing particularly on hardening entryways to prevent intrusions and potential active shooter situations. The church sought a solution that would provide an added layer of protection without compromising the welcoming atmosphere of their facility.
Challenge:
The primary challenge was to secure the church's main entry points, which consisted of large glass doors and windows, without altering the aesthetic appeal of the building. The church leaders wanted a solution that would slow down any potential intruder, providing crucial time for occupants to flee or take cover, while maintaining the structure’s inviting and open appearance.
Solution:
Atlantic Sun Control recommended the installation of Madico Safety Shield security film across all entryway glass surfaces. The film was chosen for its proven durability and ability to hold shattered glass in place, significantly delaying forced entry attempts. This security film, combined with other security measures such as reinforced locks and surveillance cameras, formed a comprehensive approach to enhancing the facility's safety.
