What is window security film, and how does it work?‹

Window security film is a durable, transparent or tinted film applied to glass surfaces to enhance safety and security. It strengthens windows, making them more resistant to breakage from impacts, forced entry, or natural disasters, and can help prevent glass from shattering into dangerous shards. The film is adhered to the interior side of windows using a strong adhesive. It holds glass together upon impact. Some films also offer UV protection, glare reduction, and energy efficiency.

  • Enhanced Security: Deters break-ins by making windows harder to penetrate.
  • Safety: Prevents glass from shattering, reducing injury risks from accidents or explosions.
  • UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting interiors from fading.
  • Energy Efficiency: Some films reduce heat gain, lowering cooling costs.
  • Privacy: Tinted or frosted options provide privacy without sacrificing light.
  • Storm Protection: Helps windows withstand high winds and debris during storms.
