Security film can help hold broken glass together after an impact. That may reduce loose fragments and make a broken opening harder to pass through, depending on the glazing and installation. It is useful to discuss alongside locks, lighting, and other property security measures; film alone cannot guarantee that someone will be kept out.

Clean film gently with a soft cloth and a cleaner recommended by your installer. Avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the surface. Follow the care guidance for the specific film, including any advice about when to begin cleaning after installation.
