Protecting shop windows?

[Tim J]

I have 7 big double pane window$ in my shop, and 5 are only ~12" above bench height. I'm worried about etching them with welding and grinding sparks, and there is always the possiblity of flying tools or other stuff breaking them. I was thinking of just getting some aluminum blinds. Do you guys have any other great ideas or suggestions? Or am I just being paranoid? :flipoff2:

quarter inch lexan on the inside and 3m film on the outside

Cover them with Plywood :flipoff2:

Some of that security film will protect them. Lexan will work better, but its more expensive. 1/4 might even be overkill. Use lexan only where you are going to really need it, and security film elsewhere, as it will save you $$$ for beer lol
