Safety & Security Window Film

Security window film is applied to existing glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. For Providence homes and businesses, that can help reduce the hazard of loose glass and add a layer of resistance at vulnerable windows and doors. The right film and installation depend on the glazing and the property’s goals; film cannot guarantee that glass will stay intact or prevent entry.
