Tempered Glass doors breakage solution


This is an image from the 3M web site, just so I don't get into trouble over it.

We have had a 3M safety and security film applied to our new shower door glass as well as two other windows that are tempered glass. It is perfectly clear and looks like it is the solution to our problem. We found a local 3M authorized business that coould apply the 3M™ Safety and Security Window Film and are very happy with it. Check it out if you have tempered glass.

By the way, the gentleman that came to install it told of a business that was VERY happy that they had this film on their store front windows. He said that the security video showed that the window was struck 18 times with a baseball bat and still did not give. They, of course, needed to replace the glass, but the would be thieves were not about to get into the store.

Glad you found a solution, Tommy! So strange what happened! I had not ever heard of such a problem, before, and I actually used to work at a window factory, many moons ago!

AMAZING re: the durability of that stuff, too! Makes me wanna either get stock or have such a business! Very cool! I bet the video, in hindsight, must almost be amusing to watch the frustration of the [stumped] thieves! The window company should almost be looping the segment at their store! lol! :-)

It is cool stuff. On the 3M web site they do have some videos of people swinging stuff at it.
