When increasing the safety and security of your Perth home
or workspace, there are countless solutions available. These often involve advanced
electrical systems like motion sensors, alarms, CCTV cameras, and more. Although
these are effective, they are expensive to install and repair if damaged. A
lesser-known and cost-effective safety product is security
window film.
Window security film is a product which is applied to
existing windows or glass partitions, making it far cheaper and easier to
install than replacing a window.
The film is made of high-tensile polyester and aggressive adhesives
to fuse onto glass surfaces, thus strengthening them. We use expertly designed Armorcoat®
films from Solar Gard
which
hold glass fragments together, making it resilient to shattering when exposed
to heavy impact.
These safety and security window films are virtually
invisible and provide a barrier for your property to protect the interior of
the building.
Installing security
window film
is beneficial for many reasons, including:
- Makes existing glass harder to smash which
deters intruders and protects against natural outcomes (storms, shrapnel, and
more).
- Holds glass together which makes it resilient to
shattering – reducing accidents and injuries.
- Virtually invisible so it won’t feel like a
prison on the inside.
- Maintains most natural light even with the
thickest application. Although it can be combined with tinting to provide sun
control as well as safety if needed.
- Extends the lifespan of surfaces.
- Cost-effective and time saving solution compared to
installing new thicker glass.
- Versatile application on any smooth surface including
marble, plastics, metal - and of course glass. Check the product viability for
your needs by contacting

- A variation of the window security film is available to
protect against graffiti and scratches – see more about Graffitigard.
- Can be used in many residential, commercial, and retail environments
– see below.
We’ve installed safety window film on hundreds of properties
from a wide range of industries. The most common applications are for home
windows, childcare centres, commercial offices, retail shop fronts, interior
glass partitions, and glass doors.
Overall, any property that has valuable assets on the inside
can reap the benefits of safety window film.

Impenetrable doors are pointless if your windows aren’t properly
secured. So then, what options do you have for protecting your windows?
A security window film is the most cost-effective and least
noticeable window protection option.
The clear Armorcoat® security window films are
available in 4 mil, 7 mil, and 8 mil thicknesses. Each of these has a differing
visible light transmittance – for more details, see our film
options and performance.
More extreme alternative solutions include
adding window bars or installing a window alarm, motion detector, or security
cameras.
The Armorcoat® window films
have undergone comprehensive testing regimes to prove their effectiveness. Some
tests conducted by notable organisations are:
- Unisearch Ltd - Human Impact Tests
- University of WA - Optical and Solar Properties
- James Cook University - Cyclone Conditions
- C.S.I.R.O - Radio Alternation Tests
- C.S.I.R.O
- Early Fire Hazard
