Are Scotchshield Ultra films hurricane- or earthquake-proof?
No, but they make the window glass more shatter-resistant in a windstorm. They can reduce the risk of injury from flying shards of broken glass and prevent debris and water penetration, depending on the severity of the storm, the type of glass, framing system, size and velocity of objects, and other factors. Likewise, in an earthquake, these films can reduce the risk of serious injury, possibly preventing glass from falling out of a home or building. Again, much may depend upon the severity of the quake and other factors.
