FWIW "hurricane film" is ok, but not what I'd bet my homestead on in a crunch.
Here's the problem. the film simply keeps the windows from blowing out. On impact, it'll still shatter
The film holds it in the frame and keeps the fragments together, very similar to the safet film in your cars. If it sustains multiple hits or sustained winds, at some point, the fragments are likely to start ripping into the film and sooner or later it'll cut through. Once that happens, your home is now subject internal pressures and wind/rain damage
It's good for burglary protection and minor wind stress, but like i said, I wouldn't chance my house and life on it.
I just had the removeable hurricane shutters fitted to the house. Got a couple of the lexan covers to keep it from becoming the bat cave like 2 years ago.
Since I can't secure the garage door from the inside, (unless I want to bunker in), and it is one of the most vulnerable parts of the structure, I had a custom exterior cover designed for it as well. The rear sliders are covered too
Might add the window covering later for burglary and lower winds protection.
