Safety Window Film
Our safety window film is available in three thicknesses — 4 mil, 8 mil and 12 mil. It is made to hold the glass together if it breaks and to make the pane stiffer, so it is harder to break in the first place.
Where Our Safety Window Film Is Used
- For residences, encompassing apartments and individual homes
- In commercial sectors, including office complexes and public buildings
- Within specialized sectors like healthcare facilities and sports centers
- Educational environments, ranging from primary schools to higher education institutions
The film is cut to any glass size and gives a defense against the dangers of glass shards.
How Our Safety Window Film Works
The film makes the glass stiffer, reducing its tendency to bend or vibrate. That lowers the chance of shattering from unforeseen impacts, strong gusts of wind, or high-energy activities. In other words, the film adds a layer of reinforcement to your glass.
What the Film Does and Does Not Do
While the film improves glass sturdiness, it is not a complete shield against breakage. It adds a protective layer, making the glass more resistant to breaking and acting as a shield against hazardous shards. When glass does break, our safety window film binds the fragments, forming a web-like barrier that keeps stray shards in place.
Distinctive Characteristics of Our Safety Film
Transparency
Safety film is clear: the 4 mil film transmits 86% of visible light (VLT), the 8 mil 84% and the 12 mil 82%, so the view and the daylight stay almost unchanged. All three block 99% of UV radiation.
Choosing the Right Safety Glass Films
Our collection of safety glass films for windows is characterized by its thickness, measured in mil. The base option is 4 mil; for stronger reinforcement we also provide 8 mil and 12 mil. Like all protective films for windows, safety films are categorized based on their thickness.
Picking the Right Safety Glass Film for Your Windows
Applying our films to your windows is practical work that does not require removing the glass. The required film thickness grows with the size of the pane: larger panes need thicker film.
- Smaller glass panes: a 4 mil safety glass film — VLT 86%, TSER 16%.
- Larger glass spaces: an 8 mil film — VLT 84%, TSER 20%.
- Maximum reinforcement, shopfronts and anti-vandal glazing: a 12 mil film — VLT 82%, TSER 24%.
A Note to Our Customers
Our selection includes only self-adhesive safety glass films. These films come with a pre-applied adhesive layer, so installation is peel and apply, and the installation solution is included with the order.
Installation Tips
Apply the film on the side the impact would come from. If the glass can be reached from both sides, as with internal doors, put safety glass film on each side — that reinforces the pane from either direction.
Tips for Prospective Buyers of Safety Glass Film
- Transparency doesn't equate to safety. Our safety glass films are made from thicker materials with a stronger adhesive, which is what holds the fragments.
- Post-installation, the adhesive needs a curing period of 10 to 15 days to achieve full strength, dependent on environmental factors and the thickness of the film.
- Consider the purpose: heavy-duty window security films designed for anti-burglary purposes are pricier and might not be the most economical choice if your primary concern is protection against glass shards.
