FAQs

What does Seahawk Security do?

We are security specialists dedicated to making excellent security more affordable to more people.  We are an authorized dealer of Armorcoat® security film and the exclusive authorized dealer of TAPCO security screens in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Tucson.  Our mission is to help families secure their homes.

What is security film?

Security film is a laminate that is applied to the inside surface of glass and carefully secured to the existing frame of the window.  This creates a single, reinforced structure that is very difficult to breach - regardless of whether it's a bomb blast or a bad guy with a crowbar.  As you can see in the above video, the glass still cracks, but the glass shards do not go flying into the room.  Equally important, it takes a very LONG time to just create a small hole - yet the entire structure stays intact.  Everything is engineered to make it very hard for anyone to break in.

Our security film is available in clear and tinted versions.  The tinted versions filter the solar energy - reducing your cooling costs.  We also offer a reflective versions of security film to boost your privacy.

All of our security films come with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty on both materials and labor.

What are security screens?

Security screens are screens made from super strong stainless steel mesh.  Our security screens were originally developed decades ago for severe weather conditions. In parts of country where hurricanes and tornados are common, screens like these are placed on doors and windows to protect occupants from flying debris, aka missiles. 

In fact, our screens are rated for category 4 hurricanes!  You can take a 2x4, accelerate it to 150 mph, slam it into our screen and it will bounce off. 

That same ultra strong feature also works against forced intrusions.  No one gets through our screens.  You would need jaws-of-life or similar professional rescue tools to cut them.  (There's a latch on the inside of each screen to allow for egress in the event of an emergency.  Our latches are ADA compliant and can be easily operated by children and the elderly.)

We typically recommend security screens on a few doors and windows and security film on the rest.  Each home is different, though.  We will recommend what we would do if it were our home.

Why is it important?

Nevada and Arizona have some of the highest burglary rates in the nation.  Our solutions will help protect you from all sorts of evil - from burglars and rapists to crackheads and killers. 

Remember, the key to excellent security is to never let the bad guy get near you.  This means creating a fortress, protecting you and your loved ones from anyone wanting to get in.

How much does it cost?

Security film pricing is based on the square footage of the glass surface while security screen pricing is based on the width and the height of the window or door. 

If you have the rough dimensions, we can give you a quote over the phone or via email.  If you don't have the measurements, we can visit your home and take those for you.  No charge.

In general, security film is less expensive than security screens.  However, sometimes a screen is more appropriate.  Don't worry, though.  We can help you choose the right solution.

We are committed to providing you with excellent security, great customer service, and first class workmanship — guaranteed!
