Owning or operating a hotel comes with a lot of responsibility.  This is because you house people at your establishment and beyond keeping them happy–you need to keep them safe.  There are a lot of different ways you must look after the well-being of your Colorado Springs hotel guests from sanitation to security and each comes with its own challenges.  For food sanitation, for example–you must keep certain food refrigerated, avoid cross-contamination and properly cook it. For hotel security–guards and alarms are common. Security window film is also another hotel security measure and below we will explain three ways it protects your hospitality establishment.

Ways In Which Security Window Film Protects Hotel Guests

1. Security Window Film Thwarts Break-Ins in Hotels: WIndows treated with security window film fare much better than untreated windows.  This is because security window films keep glass in place, even when hit by something like a hammer or stone. For guest with rooms on the first or even second floor, this is an excellent way to keep them safer from intruders
2. Security Window Film Prevents Harmful Accidents:  Slip and falls in commercial spaces are more common than you may think–and hotels are no exception.  Whether on balconies, showers or lobbies, security glass gives hotel managers and owners confident a slip and fall will not end in dangerous shattered glass.  In fact, many building codes now require safety glass in these areas–which retrofitting with safety film will satisfy.
3. Security Film Protects From Bullets and Bombs: Places that house a lot of people are often targets of attack.  Though infrequent, these attacks often leave many people injured or killed not from bullets–but from flying glass shrapnel. Security film drastically reduces injuries from flying glass during an attack. Used with a specialty security adhesive like C-bond and installed in specialty framing systems also makes windows hard to penetrate. While it won’t hold out forever, it will give hotel guests more time to run, hide or escape before an attacker can penetrate the glass.

Each of these reasons to install security window film on your Colorado Springs hotel is reason enough to give us a call at Colorado Springs Window Film to schedule a free, on-site security evaluation of your hotel’s windows.  Reach out to us today!
