Security Film VS Bars

This could be usefull for anyone in sales so lets work together and make a good list.


Please ADD to it as you see fit.

BARS
pros
CANNOT ENTER
WILL SCARE OFF WOULD BE INTRUDERS (lowers risk of glass break)


Cons
UGLY
BULKY
CANNOT BE USED IN SOME SITUATIONS


SECURITY FILM
pros
If glass breaks water cannot enter or snow or wind (heat loss)
If glass breaks a lot less mess (no picking out glass cubes from displays
Prevents forced entry
blocks UV
No obstructions in view



cons
Can Get through window if there long enough pounding away
film is only as good as the frame strength
With out signage, film does not deter would be thieves

I think theives can get through bars, it just depends on how long they are willing to try and what they use. I also don't think if a sign was put up notifying of security film would deter someone. Its the second or third throw of a brick that convinces them to give up and try somewhere else. I think you should put under pros for bars is stronger, but neither is useful against a car being driven through a window.

from an ex fireman's view..bars also prevent the right ppl from getting in (fireman) and also prevent ppl from getting out (victims) during fires and other emergencies.
