Safety & Security Window Film

Safety and security window film is applied to existing glazing to help hold broken glass together. For Annandale homes and businesses, it can help reduce the hazard of loose fragments after an impact. The right film and installation depend on the glass and the property's needs; film cannot guarantee protection against entry or injury.

Security film can help keep broken glass together after an impact, reducing the risk of loose fragments. It may also add an obstacle at a glazed entry point, but its effect depends on the glass, film and installation. For an Annandale property, have the existing glazing identified before selecting a film. No film can guarantee that an opening will resist forced entry or prevent injury.

Tempered glass breaks into small pieces when it fails. Security film may help retain those pieces, but the result depends on the whole glazing assembly, including the frame. Have an installer identify the glass and assess the opening before recommending film or any edge attachment.

Laminated glass already has an interlayer designed to help hold the glass together when broken. Whether adding security film offers a useful benefit depends on the existing assembly and your goal. Have the glazing identified and assessed before choosing a film or installation approach.
