But you can be prepared for the unexpected with 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems. Reduce the risk of flying glass. Help guard against property or data losses. Ensure less business disruption. Help protect your employees, your business and your bottom line by fortifying your glass against natural disasters.
Weather the storm.

Keep your calm before, during and after the storm.
Your building, and especially your windows, are vulnerable to the elements every day of the year. When windows break due to high winds, severe storms or accidental impacts, the cost to replace them could pale in comparison to the costs of lost business, physical harm and damaged property. Protect yourself and your business from the risk of flying glass that could cause injuries and damage with 3M™ Safety & Security Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems.
- Help protect against effects of severe weather
- Reduce risks from blast hazards and impact energy

Bring it up to code.
