What Is Safety And Security Film?
Safety and security window film acts as an additional layer of protection for your glass windows. Our 3M Safety and Security window films are thicker than typical window tint which allows it to hold the glass in place better than inferior products on the market.

What Are The Benefits Of Safety And Security Window Film?
Glass is a weak point on every building, when hit with blunt objects such as a hammer it breaks into smaller pieces posing danger to people in the immediate area. Sharp fragments flying into a building or home can cause severe injury which is why many people are looking for ways to add an additional layer of protection to their windows. 3M Safety and Security window films hold broken glass in place preventing it from flying into the room meaning occupants won’t be injured.
