Safety & Security Window Film

Security window film is applied to existing glass to help hold fragments together if the glass breaks. For Wyckoff homes and businesses, it can add a layer of protection at windows and glass doors. The right film depends on the glazing and the property's needs; it cannot guarantee against entry or injury.

Security film can help hold broken glass together after an impact. Retaining fragments may reduce loose glass and make a damaged opening harder to pass through. It is one part of a wider security plan, and no film can guarantee that a window will resist entry or prevent injury.

Follow the care instructions supplied with your film and wait until the installer says it is ready to clean. Use a soft cloth and a suitable mild cleaner, and avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the surface. Ask the installer about any product-specific care requirements.

Tempered glass breaks into small pieces, so retaining those pieces calls for careful consideration of the whole window. An installer should identify the glazing and assess the frame before recommending a film and any edge attachment. Film alone cannot guarantee that a broken pane stays in place.

Laminated glass already contains an interlayer that helps retain fragments when the glass breaks. An additional film may suit some windows, but its benefit cannot be assumed from the glass type alone. An installer should assess the existing glazing, frame and protection goal before recommending it.
