Armorcoat Safety Window Film Provides Passive Protection During Severe Weather

Hurricane Season Signals Need for Physical Support of Residential and Commercial Windows

May 24, 2006 – Armorcoat safety window film provides a passive layer of protection against severe weather, including hurricanes, which may cause residential and commercial windows to shatter, spreading glass throughout homes or buildings. Hurricane season begins June 1 and lasts through November 30. With the intensity of storms increasing in the past several years, now is the time for homeowners and property managers to proactively prepare for possible storm damage.

 

“Windows are a building’s most vulnerable area,” said Mike Harris, Armorcoat executive. “We find that people are very interested to know about the benefits of safety film, as it helps hold broken glass in place upon storm debris impact and it endures the heavy wind and rain that can last for hours. Armorcoat safety film protects people and furnishings from the dangerous airborne shards that cause a majority of injury and damage during and after the storm, and throughout the year.”

Armorcoat safety window film shields thousands of homeowners around the world while providing ultraviolet light protection and optional solar control benefits.

“When I learned that safety film provided storm protection, as well as ultraviolet radiation rejection, the decision was easy,” said Matt Geiger, former NBA player and Pinellas County, Florida resident. “When you live in Florida, any protection against hurricanes is a great investment. They may not pass through our exact area, but it remains a great precautionary measure.”

Passing some of the most stringent government and consumer testing, Armorcoat is made from the highest quality materials such as tough, high tensile polyester and ultra-strong mounting adhesives, and is offered in clear and solar control versions.
