Key Features

  • Material
    • Typically made from multiple layers of strong polyester (PET) film with powerful adhesives.
  • Thickness
    • Available in various thicknesses (measured in mils or micrometers), with thicker films providing greater protection. The appropriate thickness depends on the desired level of security and the size of the glass pane.
  • Clarity
    • Most safety and security films are designed to be optically clear, maintaining the view through the window.
  • Additional Benefits
    • Some films may offer additional benefits, such as UV protection, heat reduction, or glare control.

Applications

  • Residential
    • Homes, especially vulnerable ground-floor windows and glass doors.
