MAKE YOUR WINDOWS HARD TO PENETRATE.
HELP KEEP OUTSIDE DANGERS FROM GETTING IN.
Safety & Security Window Films
Break-ins. Natural disasters. Stray baseballs. Whatever the cause of impact, glass doors and windows are vulnerable to damage – and broken glass poses a hazard of its own. You can’t control crime, accidents or the weather, but you can get an added layer of protection – one that’s virtually invisible. Safety & Security Window Films make glass harder to penetrate and hold shattered pieces in place. This helps keep both people and property safe from dangers posed by intruders, severe weather, and broken glass.
Existing glass, with the exception of tempered glass, is typically not designed to resist wind-blown debris, vandalism, forced entry, explosions, falls, or any other kind of event that puts sudden and undue force upon the glass. If a pane of glass shatters it can break into deadly shards endangering anyone in the vicinity.
Window security film is a covering that fits over your windows to enhance its strength. It’s meant to protect from both break-ins and accidental breaks. If you break a window with security film on it, it won’t shatter into a million dangerous pieces — it’ll just “spider-web” and crack. Security film for windows works under the same principles as automotive windshield glass. The binding agent keeps the glass from shattering upon impact, just like a rock that hits your windshield may cause a hole, but the overall glass piece remains intact.
Window security film is made up of one or more layers of polyester film that has been laminated together with unique adhesives. They can range in thickness from 4 mil to 15 mil, or higher.

Help Deter Theft
Glass that resists shattering and smashing encourages intruders to move on, instead of forcing their way inside. Security window film is a great way to stop thieves in their tracks. When they try to break your window, the glass will break but remain in place. Thieves don’t like to call attention to themselves. They want to break the window, get in, and get out. They don’t want to stand on the street for even a minute trying to smash your window in. Every second that they are in the open there is more risk that they will get caught.
Improve Shatter Resistance
When film-covered glass is hit hard enough to shatter, individual fragments generally adhere to the film instead of scattering. Windows can accidentally break for a variety of reasons. Something as simple as a baseball hitting a window can shatter the glass. Acting as a bandage, safety and security film holds the glass where it belongs. This also saves on clean-up. If you’ve ever cleaned shattered glass, you know how annoying it can be to get every last shard. Usually, you don’t realize you’ve missed a few shards until someone steps on them.
Protection from Natural Disasters
When the strong winds are blowing from thunderstorms or tornados–one of the greatest threats is glass from shattered windows. When treated with security film glass stays soundly in place—just like it would from the blows of an intruder. Strong wind storms can send branches through windows. Flying debris is no match for these films. Provide a virtually invisible layer of protection that helps to hold fragments in place when glass shatters due to the force and debris of dangerous winds.
Add a Layer of Privacy, Control the Temperature
If you want extra privacy, go for tinted security film. Stop burglars from scoping out your building and fights against prying eyes. Tinted window film will also help block direct sunlight from entering your building. Reclaim areas of your home that you used to avoid during the heat of the day, thanks to heat-blocking technology.
Block UV Rays
Solar films offer significant UV protection, as much as 99%. That’s great news for those with higher risks for skin cancer. Plus, less UV exposure will keep your skin looking younger and healthier anyway.
The film also offers UV protection, which can be harmful to furniture, window film will slow down that process quite a bit.
Protection for commercial and public buildings
With bars on glass doors and windows, you advertise safety and security concerns to every visitor. Our series of safety and security gives you an alternative that’s a strong defense without sending any strong messages about potential problems.
You and your tenants will appreciate the unobstructed views and added safeguard window protective films that help to provide against theft or intrusion, natural disasters, and everyday accidents. Benefits for visiting clients or customers are subtle but still powerful – they’ll be more comfortable, confident, and stay focused on the business at hand
Vandalism
Rocks and other objects won’t be able to shatter the windows if they have the film on top of it. In addition to this, graffiti won’t stick on the windows because all you have to do is peel it off with the film.
Trespassing
Though we hope that no one ever attempts to trespass into your building, it is still a possibility. Whether during the day or after hours, safety and security window film ensures that no one will be able to break through the glass and into the building.
Protect glass under extraordinary circumstances
Security film can be used to protect glass from shattering under extraordinary circumstances, protecting windows from breaking during earthquakes, hurricanes, and bomb blasts. Large commercial structures, especially in areas prone to stress from the elements or attacks by heavily armed vandals and terrorists, can greatly benefit from security film’s added protection.
Won't Impede Your View
For many, the best reason to use window security film is that it’s unnoticeable. Even at its thickest availability, you’ll hardly notice there’s a film on your windows. It won’t impede your view of the outside, and it won’t make the room look ugly. You can clean it just as well, and you’ll get just as much sun from the outside. This gives window film a big up over other methods of window protection.
