After the doors, the next obvious place a person with bad intentions will try to enter the building is through your windows. Security film tint maintains the integrity of the window, even if the glass is broken. It helps to hold the glass in place, even with a sledge hammer or baseball bat. Acting as a screen that is difficult to breach. Make sure that your plan is based on principles such as distance or time.
