Why is Security Window Film So Popular?

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 us.
• 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.
