Safety & Security Window Film

Security window film is applied to existing glass to help hold broken pieces together after an impact. For Fairfax homes and businesses, it can add a measure of protection where broken glass is a concern. The right film depends on the glazing and the property's needs; it cannot guarantee against entry or injury.

Security film can help keep broken glass together when a window is struck. Retaining fragments may reduce the hazards of loose glass and can add a barrier at an opening, but the result depends on the glazing, film and installation. It does not make a window unbreakable or guarantee that someone cannot enter.

Follow the film maker's care guidance and allow for any initial curing period advised by the installer. Clean gently with a soft cloth and a suitable cleaner, and avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the film. Ask the installer about any marks or edge damage you notice.

Tempered glass breaks into small pieces, so its behavior after impact matters when selecting security film and planning how the filmed glass is retained. An installer should identify the glazing and assess the window and frame before recommending a film or attachment approach. Film alone cannot guarantee that broken glass will stay in the opening.

Laminated glass already has an interlayer designed to help retain fragments when it breaks. Security film may be considered as part of a wider glazing assessment, but its suitability and any added benefit depend on the existing glass and installation. Ask an installer to identify the glazing before choosing film.

The best choice depends on the glass, the opening and what you want to protect.

Ask an installer to identify the existing glazing and discuss the suitable security film before you choose.
