In light of the recent tragedy of the Chattanooga shootings, we wanted to touch on the importance of window film’s protective properties. The top reasons our customers come to us are heat rejection and UV protection. These reasons alone are good enough for anyone to have window film installed. However, in the era that we’re living in, safety and security cannot be more important. According to several news and media sources, the alleged shooter, Mohammed Youssuf Abdulazeez, shot up an armed forces center prior to driving to the Naval Reserve Center where the fatalities took place. 11 years prior to the incident at the armed forces center, a window tinting company in Tennessee installed security film with an attachment system to the windows at the armed forces center in Chattanooga. The properties of this film kept the tempered glass intact, even after being shot at. If the film wasn’t installed, the chances of the glass itself stopping any shooter would have been nil. In the end, it looks like the security film installed at the armed forces center kept this incident from having any more casualties.
