One of the major causes of injury in homes is human-to-glass impact where children or
adults have walked/run or punched a hand through windows or doors. While we can do our
best to protect our loved ones from injury, it is not possible to watch children 24 hours
a day or to prevent an adult slipping or falling accidentally.
While you cannot stop glass from breaking, you can reduce the threat of glass fragments
acting like a guillotine or a flying missile. No matter what the situation, security film
helps hold glass together and improves the safety of our loved ones.
Security film can also protect you and your family from theft during a break-in as the
film holds the glass together making it very difficult to break.

What is security film?
Security film is a transparent, high efficiency micro-thin film that is bonded to the
existing glass with a special adhesive. Glass and film are bonded together as one,
and a barrier is created on your window or door. Once treated, the film is difficult
to detect and will comply with the national safety glass standard (A.S.N.Z.S. 2208)
at a fraction of what it would cost to replace the glass with safety glass.
Security films are available in clear, tinted and reflective finishes and range in
thickness from 100 micron to 250 micron. As the films thickness is increased, resistance
to cutting, tearing and impact also increases, with the heavier grade making use of
multi-layers of plastic film and special adhesives to create a laminate with superior
shatter resistance.
