Armor Glass just installed 8 mil Solar Security film on Chambers County's new EMS building - just in time!
Our first Tropical Storm is forming today. Maybe its a sign of what's to come since hurricane season just started 2 weeks ago and normally not much happens until August! Chambers County was hit HARD by Hurricane IKE in 2008. Bodies from Boliver Island (which was wiped out) were found in Chambers County.
Their officials told us they needed to make the glass "armored" not only against hurricane-force winds but also against the intense heat coming through the glass - despite it being double-pane. A large portion faces west, so their offices really were hit hard by heat.
So we used an 8-mil Solar Security film that blocks 50% of the solar heat from even getting into the building, cutting cooling costs and raising the comfort level. All our films also cut 99% of harmful UV that was fading their new furniture and is the No. 1 cause of skin cancer. The same film was put on the Pentagon after 911 but costs a fraction of impact glass or shutters.
After Hurricae IKE hit in 2008, Chambers County had Armor Glass install our 8 mil Security film on the courthouse and all county buildings. Since then, they have weathered Hurricanes Harvey and Beryl -- and a hurricane-force Derecho -- with ZERO pe*******on of any of their glass. A broken window not only lets in wind and rain but jeopardizes computers and building security. It also leads to expensive repairs.
