We get asked frequently, does window security film really work? Yes! To best protect your business learn more about professionally installed window security film.

You want the best protection for your business. Even if you have an alarm system and solid locked doors, your windows will always provide a vulnerable access point. Having window security film professionally installed can help keep your property and employees safe and secure from break-ins and other hazards. But how does window security film really work?

Broken Glass Window Security Film

How does window security film really work? 


Window security film works similarly to your car's windshield. A binding agent allows the glass to stay together even when it is impacted and breaks. There is no shattering which provides an extra element of safety and security for your business in the event of vandalism or an attempted break-in. Criminals want quick and easy access, and they are less likely to continue smash a window that refuses to shatter. The fact that windows with security film don't shatter also means that those inside your business have a lower chance of injury when a window is broken for whatever reason. The list of situations when your business would benefit from window security film includes:


  • Attempted break-in
  • Vandalism or riot
  • Extreme weather
  • Natural disasters
  • Accidents


While riots and civil disobedience are generally uncommon, in our current national climate they are not unheard of. Weather events and high winds also pose a danger to your windows. The unpredictable Colorado climate always keeps us on our toes with anything from a blizzard to softball sized hail. It is best to be prepared for anything when thinking about protecting your livelihood.
