What it is
Ordinary glass breaks into pieces and falls out of the frame. Security film bonds to the pane so that, if it breaks, the pieces are more likely to stay put. That can mean less mess, less danger from loose glass and more time before an opening is clear.
It is not a force field, and nobody honest will sell it as one. It is a sensible extra layer for glass in exposed spots.
Where people use it
- Street-level storefront windows and glass doors.
- Sidelights next to a front door lock.
- Ground-floor and basement windows at home.
- Large panes near where people sit or kids play.
Talk it through first
The right film depends on the glass and what you are worried about. Call for a free consultation and ask which thickness suits your windows and whether it can be combined with a tint.
