Safety & Security Window Film

Safety and security window film is applied to existing glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. That can reduce loose glass and add a useful layer of protection for a Johnstown home or business. Its suitability depends on the glazing and the protection you need; film cannot guarantee against entry or injury.

Security film helps broken glass stay together, which can limit loose fragments after an impact. It may also add resistance to an attempted break through the glass. The result depends on the existing glazing, film and overall window system, so it should be considered alongside other property security measures. It cannot prevent every break-in or eliminate the risk of injury.

Follow the care instructions supplied for the film you choose. In general, clean gently with a soft cloth and a suitable mild cleaner, and avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the surface. Ask the installing dealer about any product-specific cleaning guidance.

Tempered glass breaks into small pieces when it fails. Security film may help retain those pieces, but performance depends on the glazing and the complete window system. Have the existing glass identified and ask a dealer which film is suitable for it.

Laminated glass already has an interlayer that helps retain fragments when it breaks. Whether adding security film makes sense depends on the existing glazing and the goal for that window. Ask a dealer to assess the complete glass system before choosing film.

Security film can help hold broken glass together when a window is struck or vandalized. That may make cleanup easier and help limit exposed fragments, but the film itself can still be damaged and cannot guarantee that someone will be kept out. For a surface that is regularly scratched or marked, a removable anti-graffiti layer serves a different purpose. A dealer can help you assess the glazing and the type of damage you are trying to address. read more about glass protection.
