3M Safety and Security Window Film
3M Safety & Security Window Film
At Meridian Window Tint, we install 3M Safety and Security Window Films for homeowners and businesses across the Boise area who need more than sun control from their windows. Where sun control films are designed primarily for comfort and energy savings, safety and security films are engineered to hold glass together when it breaks, helping protect people and property from flying glass shards, forced entry, natural disasters, and blast events. Meridian carries two 3M lines to cover a range of needs and budgets: the Safety Series for reliable protection at an accessible price point, and the Scotchshield Ultra Series for maximum strength in the most demanding applications.
3M Safety Series
The Safety Series is 3M's foundational security film line, available in four thickness levels to match the level of protection your application requires. It is optically clear, works on both residential and commercial glass, and can be combined with 3M Impact Protection Attachment Systems for additional protection.
