Safety &Security Film
Glass safety films, or security films, have been securing buildings around the world for decades, including some of the most prominent government facilities in the U.S. Globally, schools have also benefited from the added layer of protection that glass safety film provides. Easily installed, Armorcoat® safety window film is a much more cost-effective option when compared to laminated glass.

- How and Why
Glass safety films are an important component of security upgrades to school buildings because they are significantly slow and often thwart any attempt to enter a building.
- Security film works because:
- It’s thicker than regular window films — anywhere from 4 to 14 mils
- It increases the shatter resistance of glass Proper installation of security film is essential to its success. For the best, most effective results:
- The glass safety film is first adhered to the inside of the window
- A large bead of structural silicone, known as a wet glaze attachment system, is then applied around the perimeter of the glass, firmly securing the film in place
- The combination of the security film and the attachment system is what protects and strengthens the glass, making it difficult if not impossible for any intruder to enter.
