Your Shield Against the Storm

Reinforce your windows to withstand high winds and debris during Arizona's powerful monsoon storms.

Protect Your Property When the Weather Turns Wild

Arizona's monsoon season can bring sudden, violent storms with high winds and flying debris. Your windows are the most vulnerable part of your building's envelope. If a window fails, it can lead to catastrophic damage from wind and water, and the subsequent pressure changes can even lead to roof failure. Storm protection window film is a proven, tested solution to mitigate these risks and protect your property.

How Film Provides Storm Protection

Similar to our break-in deterrent films, storm protection films are thick, heavy-duty products designed to hold glass together under extreme stress. When combined with an attachment system that bonds the film to the window frame, it creates a formidable barrier.

  • Resists Debris Impact: The film can withstand significant impacts from wind-borne debris like tree branches or outdoor furniture, preventing the glass from breaking.
  • Prevents Window Failure: Even if the glass does crack under a severe impact, the film and attachment system hold the window in place, preventing wind and rain from entering the building.
  • Maintains the Building Envelope: By preventing the initial breach, the film protects your property from the devastating internal pressurization that can lead to roof lift-off and structural failure.

A 24/7, Passive Protection System

Unlike storm shutters or plywood boards, which have to be manually deployed before a storm, window film provides passive, 24/7 protection. It's always there, ready to defend your property, without any action required from you. And because it's optically clear, it never blocks your view.

This makes it an ideal solution for both residential and commercial properties, offering peace of mind that your building is protected even if a storm hits unexpectedly. It's a one-time upgrade that provides lasting protection, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is storm protection film tested?

Storm protection films are subjected to rigorous testing standards, including large missile impact tests (simulating debris like a 2x4) and pressure cycling tests to simulate hurricane-force winds. We offer films that meet these demanding requirements.

Is an attachment system necessary for storm protection?

For maximum storm mitigation performance, yes. An attachment system, which anchors the film to the window frame, is critical to prevent the entire pane of broken glass from being pushed out by high winds. We strongly recommend it for all storm protection applications.

Is storm film different from regular security film?

The films themselves are very similar (thick, multi-layered polyester). The primary difference in the application is the emphasis on an attachment system to withstand the unique pressures exerted by high-velocity winds. A security film installation can be upgraded to a storm protection system by adding an attachment system.
