Smash-and-Grab Protection

Get Smash-and-Grab Protection for Your Car Today

Smash-and-grab criminals can turn a quick trip to the shops into a total nightmare. Cars are typically targeted when they are stopped at traffic lights or when stuck in slow-moving traffic. The crime itself is quick to execute and relies on the element of surprise, allowing criminals to distract the car’s occupants with a smashed window while they grab and make off with your valuables. Without protective window film installed, you might find yourself dealing with injuries as well as expensive damage to your car, not to mention the cost of having to replace the window. In many instances, the trauma suffered from such a crime can have long-term negative impact on both the driver and the passengers.

To avoid becoming a victim of crime on the roads, you need to be alert at all times and acutely aware of all the possible threats. It goes without saying that in South Africa, protective window film is not only a sound investment, but a non-negotiable safety feature. However, before you shop around, it is important to know that “shatterproof” film and anti-smash-and-grab window protection film are not the same thing. Anti-smash-and-grab film offers more than mere window shatterproofing properties. The right type of anti-smash-and-grab window film would be shatterproof, of course, but it would also be offered in several tints to increase in-car safety, as well as UV protection of the passengers, driver, and the car interior against the harmful rays of the sun.

You will find that the market offers a large variety of window security films with different strength and thickness ratings. When it comes to smash-and-grab protection, opt for a film that is no less than 100 ?m thick, although industry experts often advise motorists to opt for the 200-?m-thick film. The price of anti-smash-and-grab film will vary from one brand to the next and is also determined by the thickness of the film, size of your car’s window area, and how many windows must be covered.
