Safety & Security Window Film in College Point

Security film can help keep broken glass together after an impact. This may reduce loose fragments and make a quick opening through the glass more difficult. Results depend on the glass, frame, film and installation, so it should be considered one part of a property's safety and security planning, not a guarantee against break-ins or injury.
