What is Security Window Film?
Security window film is a high-performance, multi-layered polyester film that bonds directly to your existing glass. Unlike regular glass that shatters into dangerous shards upon impact, security film holds the glass together even when broken—creating a barrier that protects against injuries, intrusion, and storm damage.
The film works by absorbing and redistributing impact energy across a larger surface area. When glass breaks, the fragments remain adhered to the film, preventing them from scattering and maintaining the integrity of the window opening. This technology is used in schools, government buildings, retail stores, and homes across the country.

Security Film FAQ
Can security film really stop a break-in?
Security film significantly delays forced entry but is not impenetrable. Studies show that most burglars abandon break-in attempts after 60 seconds. Security film can keep glass intact for multiple impacts, buying you valuable time to call for help or escape. It transforms a quick smash-and-grab into a prolonged, noisy, and difficult entry attempt.
Will security film make my windows look different?
No. Our security films are optically clear and virtually invisible once installed. You maintain your natural view and light transmission. Tinted security film options are available if you also want solar heat rejection or privacy benefits, but the standard product is crystal clear.
How does security film protect against storms?
During severe weather, flying debris can shatter windows, allowing wind and rain inside while creating dangerous glass projectiles. Security film holds shattered glass in place, maintaining the envelope of your building and preventing injuries from flying shards. This is especially important in tornado-prone areas like Dallas.
What thickness of security film do I need?
The right thickness depends on your security goals. 4 mil film provides basic safety and fragment retention—ideal for accident protection. 8 mil offers significant forced entry resistance for most homes and businesses. 12-14 mil provides maximum protection for high-security applications. We assess your property and recommend the appropriate level for each window.
Can security film be applied to any window?
Yes, security film can be applied to most glass surfaces including windows, doors, skylights, and glass partitions. It works on single-pane and double-pane windows. For maximum effectiveness, the film should extend to the window frame edge. We may also recommend anchoring systems for high-security applications.
How long does security film last?
Professional-grade security film typically lasts 10-15+ years when properly installed and maintained. The film is designed to withstand UV exposure and temperature fluctuations without degrading. Most manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 10 years to lifetime coverage for material defects.
