Safety & Security Window Film

Safety and security window film is applied to existing glazing to help hold broken glass together after an impact. For homes and businesses in West Hempstead, that added layer can help reduce exposure to loose fragments and make a damaged opening harder to pass through. The result depends on the glass, film and overall window system; film cannot guarantee against entry or injury.

Security window film can help keep fragments attached when glass breaks. That can reduce the hazard of loose pieces and create an added obstacle at a damaged window. It does not make glass unbreakable or guarantee that someone cannot enter. A useful recommendation starts with the existing glazing and the property's risks, whether the window is at a home, storefront or workplace.

If the glass or film is damaged, have the window assessed rather than assuming the film still provides the same protection.

An edge attachment may be relevant to how a filmed window performs after its glass breaks. Whether it is appropriate depends on the glazing, frame and protection goal. Ask the installer to assess the complete window system and explain the proposed approach. Do not assume one edge treatment is required for every type of glass or that it guarantees against entry.
