Safety & Security Window Film

Security window film is applied to glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. It can be useful for vulnerable windows and doors in Port Arthur homes and businesses, but it cannot guarantee protection against entry or injury. The right film depends on the existing glazing and the property's needs.

When glass breaks, safety and security film can help keep fragments together. That may reduce loose glass and make a broken opening harder to pass through, depending on the glazing and circumstances. It is one part of a broader approach to property security, alongside measures such as locks, lighting and alarms.

Annealed glass can break into larger, sharp pieces. Safety and security film may help hold those pieces together, depending on the window and installation. Have an installer identify the glass and recommend a film suited to that opening.
