Whether you believe in superstitions or not, almost everyone knows about the unluckiest day of the year: Friday the 13th.

What Makes This Day So Unlucky?

We often see small reminders all around us about the number 13 and its misfortune such as how many hotels do not have a 13th floor, but instead just skip directly from the 12th floor to the 14th floor.

The basis for this unlucky number is a bit unclear. Some claim that it goes all the way back to biblical times when there were 13 guests at the last supper. However, the fame and attention that the date received was never noteworthy until the late 1800’s.

Regardless of its particular origin, Friday the 13th has become a widely popularized day of the year on which everyone could use a little bit of extra protection. One of the best ways to protect your home, belongings, and loved ones is with 3M’s Safety and Security Window Films.

Safety and Security Window Films

These films are specially designed for fragment retention. This means that instead of breaking into large pieces once struck by a violent force, the film keeps the shards of glass held tightly together, which makes it much more difficult to get through the window.

You will notice in the video just how much effort it takes for the intruder to enter the window, which gives the occupants of the home precious extra time to escape, and time for the authorities to arrive.
