Safety & Security Window Film

Security window film is applied to existing glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. For Lynchburg homes and businesses, that can reduce the hazards of loose glass and add a layer of protection at vulnerable windows or doors. The result depends on the film, the existing glazing and the complete window assembly. Film cannot guarantee that glass will stay in place, prevent entry or eliminate injury.

Safety and security film can help hold broken glass together after an impact. That may reduce loose fragments and make it harder to clear an opening quickly. Its effect depends on the existing glass, frame and installation, so it should be considered alongside other property security measures. It does not guarantee protection against entry or injury.

Compare the exact film and its intended use rather than choosing by thickness alone. Security film can help retain broken glass, but no film makes a window impossible to break or enter.
