Is window security film on windows worth it?

• <div><p>Window security film won’t prevent break-ins or stop your window from shattering from impact during extreme weather like hurricanes or tornadoes. However, applying security film is relatively inexpensive, and it can make breaking into your home significantly harder—often hard enough to deter burglars entirely—and keep your window from shattering on your floor after impact. For these reasons, window security film is often a worthwhile investment that helps protect your property.</p></div>

Will window security film affect my homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Your homeowners insurance provider may decrease your premium if you improve the security of your home with window security film. You can contact your insurer to determine whether there will be a change in cost after applying this addition. If there is a decrease in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">homeowners insurance</a> premium or deductible, it will likely only be available if your window film is installed by a professional window film installer. </p></div>

Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result. </p></div>

"I had the windows tinted in my south facing dining room to prevent fading of fabrics and of the wooden floor. The results were much better than expected, the room was much more comfortable on summer days. I was also more comfortable to look outside as annoying glare was eliminated. Scott, way very friendly and efficient."

"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
