I am considering getting these for my home. They are apparently
designed to hold the
glass in place and make it difficult for a burgler to get inside. Has
anyone had any
experience with this product and what did you think of it? Would you
recommend it and
what was the approx cost to install? Thanks.


We all had this product on all the windows and glass doors in our issued
apartments in Kuwait. It was courtesy of Uncle Sam but it wasn't for
burglars! As I understand it's not super expensive but must be installed
by
a certified installer to be guaranteed to function correctly. It is so
clear you can't even tell it's there unless you go up and run your
fingernail over it if done right.

Uh, it won't do more than slow a burglar down. It is intended to stop
low-mass glass shards in an explosion, not knives or outright shrapnel from
a close-by explosion. They are putting it on the street-side windows of my
office building. I told them they need to put it on the backside too, since
the best bomb location is between the building wings in back, and the only
thing preventing a bomber driving his truck back there is the poor SOB
rent-a-cop in the flimsy shack at the gate that is a straight shot from the
sweet spot. (But seriously, our main danger here is from tornados, where an
overpressure situation or flying debris can easily take out windows several
stories up.)

I've seen the discovery channels "it takes a theif" show, and they
demonstrated the film stand up to baseball bats and crow bars. So I
was reminded by this thread about what I read, and saw demonstrations
if it's strength.
