Security Film

Glass Doctor of Arlington, TX provides security film, which is a simple and effective way to add more safety. This film is a cost-effective, energy-saving way to protect your building without compromising on the look of your windows.

By having the service professionals at Glass Doctor of Arlington, TX install security film, you are taking a step towards creating a safer environment for you and anyone in your building.

This strong, tear-resistant film is one of the best ways to discourage break-ins and theft by making it hard for criminals to get inside your building. This is achieved because the glass will be held together by the film in case of a break. In cases of severe weather or an on-site accident, this film can also prove to be helpful, but it cannot take the place of hurricane shutters in the event of wind-borne debris or a tropical storm. Some of the benefits that security film provide are:

  • Added Privacy: By using tinted film on windows in vulnerable areas or where you want to increase privacy, you can create a feeling of comfort and concealment.

  • Less Fading or Discoloration: With time, the sun’s UV rays that come in through your windows can discolor and fade furniture, flooring, paint, or items hanging on your walls. Because our security film blocks out these harmful rays, your items will be less likely to fade, thereby saving you from spending money to replace your items.

  • Lower Energy Costs: By reducing the amount of energy that is transferred through your window, security film can help keep your building at a more constant temperature, which lightens the load on your HVAC system. Customers who have installed our security film have experienced a difference in their power bill.

Tempered Safety Glass

Tempered safety glass is cooled at an even faster rate than heat-strengthened glass, making it about four times stronger than a pane of regular glass of the same size and thickness. Tempered safety glass is made by heating annealed glass uniformly and cooling it rapidly by blowing air onto both surfaces at the same time. This is a process known as air quenching and it’s what gives tempered safety glass its unique strength. Tempering the glass allows it to resist the forces caused by heat, wind, and different types of impact. If the glass does break, it will shatter into small cubes, reducing the likelihood of serious injury on impact, thereby qualifying as safety glazing material. Many large storefront windows are tempered glass, which can be identified by a small permanent label in the window’s corner.

    I needed a broken residential window replaced. Kendrick was great taking measurements inside & out of the broken window. Felipe was also great installing the new window. Both servicemen were courteous and professional and by far the best representation of Glass Doctor. My only complaint is ineffective communication with the company: for the measurement appoinment I was given a scheduled 2 hour time slot that was later pushed back by 2 1/2 hours. The day of the appoinment the technician arrived at the original time. I accepted a quote based on that tech's outside assessment of the boarded-up window. Unfortunately, another visit was set for inside & outside measurement at which time I was told it would be 2 weeks to get the ordered replacement. I would have given a 5 star rating had more direct communication with the company been possible. I had to text with their AI requesting a status update before I was notified to scheduled a date for actual install.

  • The service professionals at Glass Doctor of Arlington, TX also provide laminated glass, which is a type of safety glass made of two or more panes of annealed glass joined together by a layer of plastic. Laminated glass is often used in safety applications however, it has many other uses as well including burglar resistance, sound reduction, and space enclosures; it can also be used as the inboard lite in skylights. The lamination process can be performed on clear, tinted, reflective, heat-strengthened, or tempered glass.

    Made of several layers of laminate and glass, with a polycarbonate material that absorbs the energy of a bullet, bullet-resistant glass is a popular choice for those who wish to add another layer of defense. The thicker the glass, the higher impact the glass can withstand, which is achieved by absorbing a bullet’s energy as it hits the glass.
