Safety & Security Window Film

Safety and security window film is a layer applied to existing glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. For Northfield homes and businesses, that can help reduce the hazards of loose glass and add a measure of resistance at vulnerable windows or doors. The right choice depends on the glazing and the protection you want; film cannot guarantee against entry or injury.

That makes it worth considering where glass breakage is a concern, including homes, offices and shared spaces in Northfield. Its effect depends on the glass and the complete window assembly. It cannot guarantee that a window will resist entry or prevent injury.
