Security window film is typically installed on the interior side of windows. This placement offers several advantages…
- Protection – Installing the film on the interior side of the window provides a layer of protection for the glass against impacts, breakage, and forced entry attempts from inside or outside the building.
- Weather Resistance – Placing the film on the interior side helps protect it from exposure to weather elements such as rain, wind, and UV radiation, which can affect its performance and longevity.
- Aesthetics – Installing the film on the interior side maintains the exterior appearance of the building, as the film is not visible from the outside. This allows for a clean and unobtrusive look while still providing enhanced security.
- Accessibility – Interior installation makes it easier to apply the film evenly and securely, as installers have direct access to the interior side of the windows without the need for specialized equipment or scaffolding.
While security window film is primarily installed on the interior side of windows, there are some specialized films designed for exterior application. These films are typically used for specific purposes such as blast mitigation or graffiti protection and may require professional installation due to their unique properties and installation requirements. However, for general security purposes, interior installation is the most common and practical approach.
