Safety & Security Window Film

Safety and security window film is designed to help hold broken glass together after an impact. For Troutdale homes and businesses, it can add a useful layer of protection where glass breakage is a concern. The right film depends on the existing glazing and the property's needs; it cannot guarantee against entry or injury.

When glass breaks, security film can help keep fragments together. That may reduce loose glass and make an opening harder to pass through, depending on the glazing and the impact. An installer can assess the windows in your Troutdale property and recommend a suitable film. Security film does not make glass unbreakable or guarantee protection against entry or injury.

Clean the filmed surface gently with a soft cloth and a nonabrasive cleaner. Avoid scraping or abrasive tools that could damage the film. Follow the care guidance provided with your chosen product and ask your installer if you are unsure about cleaning a particular window.
