Safety and Security film is made up of a fairly thin, micro-layered and tear resistant plastic film that is applied over the surface of the glass of the window. It is designed to hold the glass in place when it breaks. The film will also provide extra strength to the windows which can help stop it from breaking al together. There is no security film that is unbreakable or shatterproof. However, safety and security film from Llumar or 3M protect against vandalism, break-ins, forced entry attempts, severe weather, accidents and other catastrophic events such as earthquakes and tornados.
