Typically, the film is positioned inside windows, but for enhanced safeguarding, affixing it to both sides using a unique system is an option.

Installing the film is usually a quiet process. However, removing existing film may create noise, with professionals striving to limit disturbance.

While you could layer security film over another, it's advised against due to warranty implications. Opt for tinted security film for an amalgamation of benefits.

The price can fluctuate based on the film's brand, quality, and type, with a general price range of $6 to $25 per square foot.

Warranty terms vary by brand and type of film. Typically, interior residential applications come with a comprehensive lifetime warranty, while commercial and exterior applications have a 10-15 year and 5-7 year warranty, respectively.

Observing bubbles post-installation is normal, indicating drying moisture. It's crucial not to disturb these bubbles to allow proper film adhesion.

Although durable and securely adhesive, the film can be professionally removed without harming the window.

Options include transparent, mirrored, or tinted films, each blocking nearly all harmful UV rays while catering to different aesthetic preferences.

The film significantly reinforces window strength, deterring break-ins by making windows more resistant to impact and keeping shattered glass in place. It is applicable in both residential and commercial settings.

Cleaning should be gentle, using soft cloths and mild, ammonia-free cleaners, especially during the initial 60-day curing period.

While not a fail-safe barrier, the film is intended to impede intruders, providing extra reaction time.

Contrary to some beliefs, the film is not bulletproof. It does, however, help contain glass fragments upon impact.

Window security film is a supplemental security measure rather than a primary defence. Integration with comprehensive security systems is recommended.

Installation decisions shouldn't hinge solely on crime perception; security is a broader strategy. While understanding local crime trends is essential, it should not be the sole driver behind security decisions. A comprehensive, proactive security strategy that incorporates a variety of measures and considers the broader context is essential for adequate protection. This approach addresses current concerns and anticipates future challenges, ensuring that security measures remain relevant and effective over time.

Strategically applying the film to critical access points rather than indiscriminately covering all windows is advised for focused protection. Our Select Security specialist will determine the optimal installation locations.
