Safety & Security Window Film in Shafter

Safety and security window film is applied to existing glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. For Shafter homes and businesses, it can be one part of a broader plan to reduce hazards around vulnerable windows and doors. The right film depends on the glazing and the protection you need; film does not guarantee that glass will resist entry or prevent injury.

Security window film can help keep pieces of broken glass together after an impact. That may reduce loose fragments and make a damaged window less easy to pass through. It is useful to consider for glass near entrances, busy rooms and other areas where breakage is a concern. Film is one layer of protection; it cannot guarantee that someone will be kept out or that nobody will be hurt.
