We get a lot of inquiries about how long it will take until security window film will need to be replaced. This is a good question and the great news is–not often. This is true of most types of window film. But, security window film does have some extenuating circumstances that could mean you need to replace it more often. This is simply due to the function of the film–protection. So as you will see, the fact that you need to replace security film on your Denver building could be a very good thing. Find out why below.

SECURITY WINDOW FILM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER A BREAK-IN, ACCIDENT OR STORM

The purpose of safety and security window films is to add safety to your Denver home or business. It does this by keeping glass safely adhered to even after severe blows from a storm, intruder or accident. When the glass stays on the film it can’t fly around and hurt people. So, if you need to replace the film, it is almost always due to a catastrophic event—more likely than not the film saved lives. After such an event the window, frame, and security film need to be replaced.

SECURITY WINDOW FILM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHEN IT GETS OLD

Like any film on the market– window film gets old. Film on windows that face east or west especially, tend to age faster. When a window film gets visibly old due to exposure to the sun it stops being as effective. Since it is in place to protect people–this means it needs to be replaced when visibly aged or risk of injury is introduced. Here in Denver (where the sun is intense) this could happen faster than say–the Pacific Northwest. In replacement circumstances like this, you can usually keep the safety frames.

SECURITY WINDOW MAY NEED TO BE REPLACE WHEN YOU REMODEL

If you are doing a remodel on a home and need to move a window, you may have to replace your security film. This largely depends on your particular renovation. But once a security film is torn or scratched it is no longer effective. Whether or not you can use the specialty frames again depends on the and skill of your contractor and the age of the frames. Specialty security framing should be able to be used again if properly removed.

All in all–once the security film is in—it is there for a good long time–unless it saves your life. Contact us at Denver Window Tinting today to schedule a free, on-site security assessment today!
