Why should I consider fitting safety or security film in my home or office?
Sharp shards of flying or falling glass are extremely dangerous and can seriously injure people, sometimes leading to fatalities. Many events can cause glass to break unexpectedly and often these events are not predictable – for example, a child falling into a patio door while playing. Having no form of glass protection causes a high-risk potential of injury. These harmful glass shards can result from smash & grab burglaries, vandalism or even just an unforeseen accident.

Are the Safety & Security Films bullet-proof?
No Safety or Security Film is bullet-proof but they are a deterrent. These films are designed to make glass more shatter resistant and may help slow the projectile down but not to prevent penetration after several attempts.
