Smash and Grab |Selecting the Best Safety Film

How to Choose the Best Security Film to Prevent Smash and Grab Crimes

When it comes to protecting your loved ones, there is no end to the lengths you will go to, but what about their security outside of the borders of your property? Keeping them and yourself protected from crimes of opportunity, such as smash and grab incidents, is equally vital. At Electronic Fitment Centre, we believe that the most effective measure against these attacks is applying the best window security film, LLumar®.

Before exploring the many benefits of LLumar® window film, we at Electronic Fitment Centre would like to briefly explain the significant difference between smash and grab safety film and a normal window tint.

The Distinctive Difference

We understand that they might look the same; however, safety film is thicker than a normal window tint. Standard window tints offer a range of thicknesses, between 25 and 50 microns, whereas smash and grab safety film ranges from 100 to 300 microns, providing a substantial increase in impact protection. An additional layer of film is applied to your windows, which is designed to absorb the impact and stay intact during an attempted break-in, giving you precious seconds to get away.  

Benefits of LLumar® Window Film

Here are a few benefits of LLumar® window film:

1. Enhanced privacy for you, your occupants, and valuables. As the windows are tinted, it makes it harder for would-be-criminals to look into your vehicle.

2. Clear visibility is crucial when driving. The glare from the sun as well as the lights from oncoming traffic can impair your vision while driving and tinting greatly reduces this.

3. Protection for the interior of your vehicle. As much as the safety film you apply adds to the interior security of your vehicle, it also assists in protecting your vehicle’s upholstery and dashboard.

4. Keeps your windows intact on impact. Whether you are idling in traffic or stationery at a robot, you are a potential victim of a smash and grab attack. Applying LLumar® window film will prevent your windows from shattering as the film keeps the glass shards together, giving you your moment to flee.

Don’t Become a Victim of Smash and Grab Attacks

As a motorist, there are precautionary measures you can take to further protect you from these crimes of opportunity: 

1. Always be aware of your surroundings and remain alert at intersections.

2. Keep your valuables in your boot, as they attract unwanted attention.

3. Take notice of people loitering at intersections. They may be innocent or criminals blending in and waiting for their opportunity.

4. Leave a gap between you and the car in front of you as this will give you ample space to pull away if necessary.
