Insights and advice from the film experts
Home security shouldn’t mean sacrificing your street appeal. If you’re worried about break-ins but not keen on cameras, bars or bulky shutters, security window film offers a powerful alternative.
It’s discreet, design-friendly, and proven to delay intruders without altering the look of your home.
What intruders look for
Most burglars target homes with:
- Easy access to side or rear windows
- No visible barriers to entry
- Quick escape routes
- Glass doors or sidelights near latches
Even with an alarm or camera, a fast break-in can happen in under a minute often before you or security can respond.
Why Security film works
Security window film strengthens your glass from the inside out. It’s professionally installed and bonded to the glass, making it much harder to shatter.
If someone tries to break in:
- The glass may crack—but won’t fall away
- The film holds it in place, creating noise and delay
- Most intruders give up before gaining entry
And it does all this without visible hardware or changing your home’s design.
Benefits for design-focused homes
Unlike bars, grilles or security screens, film:
- Preserves your window style and exterior finish
- Works on large or shaped glass panes
- Can be completely clear or lightly tinted
- Adds UV and heat protection at the same time
It’s especially popular for:
- Architect-designed homes
- Heritage properties
- Coastal homes with floor-to-ceiling glass
- Townhouses or units where exterior modifications aren’t allowed
Where to apply security film
- Sliding glass doors
- Street-facing windows
- Sidelights and entry panels
- Garage or side windows
- Glass pool fencing or gates
