Ballistic Resistant Window Film: The next best thing to bulletproof window film for Salt Lake City Restaurants

What Is Bulletproof Glass?

To begin with– the word bulletproof is actually a bit of a misnomer because any glass or polycarbonate surface can be penetrated given enough force, the right caliber bullet and ample time. That being said, there are materials that are close to bulletproof, which should be referred to as “bullet resistant; this includes polycarbonate–which is high-density plastic and actual thick glass panes stacked together. As far as “bulletproofing” is concerned–these methods are admittedly very effective but there are quite a few downsides to these methods too that make them prohibitive to everyday applications in something like a restaurant setting. Window film, on the other hand, is a great fit for any Salt Lake City restaurant looking to beef up security and add bullet resistance along the way–read below to find out why.

Why Window Film Is The Best Way To Make Your Salt Lake City Restaurant Windows Bullet Resistant

Restaurants in Salt Lake City looking for ways to become more secure, protected from break-ins and/or random acts of violence, should consider adding window film as a way to accomplish this and will garner many other benefits too.

Window Film Is Cost Effective: There are actually a number of ways to make windows more secure and even bullet resistant. However, most of these methods are extremely expensive. Additions like polycarbonate windows and multiple layers of thick glass both require the removal of your current windows and installation of cumbersome new ones; this drives up costs immensely. Additionally, the glass and polycarbonate materials are incredibly expensive too. Window film is the superior option here since films and frames are simply added to existing windows–making it a very cost-effective solution.

Window Film Preserves Clarity: When bullet-resistant window film is applied it is, for all intents and purposes, invisible which allows for a perfectly unobstructed view for your Salt Lake City restaurant patrons. Unlike other methods, like poly-carbonate windows which are slightly hazy, window film keeps that attractive clear glass look and the ambiance of your restaurant intact.

Window Film Has Many Other Benefits: Beyond just repelling bullets, window film has a myriad of other benefits critical to your restaurant’s success. Solar control, glare reduction, and energy-efficiency are just some of the perks that help your Salt Lake City restaurant get and stay ahead!
