How long does security window film installation take?

Proferred Film Solutions works efficiently and cleanly with minimal disruption, and can schedule evenings or weekends for businesses that can't close during business hours.

Is security window film visible after installation?

Most security films are nearly invisible once applied. They look like standard glass. Proferred Film Solutions also offers tinted and reflective security options if you want privacy or solar benefits combined with security.

What is security window film used for?

Security window film is used to reinforce glass against break-ins, smash-and-grab theft, severe weather, earthquakes, and accidental impacts. It holds broken glass together rather than allowing it to shatter into dangerous shards. It is used on storefront windows, residential ground-floor windows, patio doors, sliding glass doors, and commercial properties.

What is the best security window film for Toronto businesses?

For Toronto businesses, a premium multi-layer security film rated at 8 mil or higher is recommended for storefronts and ground-floor commercial glass. Proferred Film Solutions installs Madico and SolarGard security films, which are manufacturer-backed and proven against smash-and-grab attempts.

When glass breaks, the danger doesn’t stop at the shatter – it’s the flying shards, the forced entry, the vulnerability that follows. Security window film from Proferred Film Solutions changes that equation entirely. We install professional-grade security and anti-shatter film on homes and businesses across Toronto, East Gwillimbury, Newmarket, Aurora, Bradford, and the entire GTA.

What Is Security Window Film?

Security window film is a thick, multi-layered polyester film applied directly to your existing glass. On its own, glass is one of the weakest points in any building. When impacted – whether by a break-in attempt, severe weather, or accidental force – standard glass shatters into dangerous shards. Security film holds the glass together on impact, dramatically slowing forced entry and preventing injury from glass debris. It’s invisible once installed. Your windows look exactly the same. The protection is entirely hidden.

What Security Film Protects Against

Break-In & Smash-and-Grab Protection

Storefronts, retail businesses, and residential homes are common targets for smash-and-grab theft. Security film forces an attacker to keep striking the same spot – repeatedly, loudly, and visibly – rather than breaking through instantly. Most would-be intruders abandon the attempt within 30-60 seconds when they encounter security film. That delay is everything.

Shattered Glass Injury Prevention

In storms, earthquakes, accidental impacts, or even a baseball through a window – security film keeps broken glass bonded to the film rather than flying inward. This is especially important for homes with children, offices with large glass panels, and any ground-floor commercial space.

Forced Entry Delay

Security film does not make glass unbreakable. It makes breaking through glass significantly slower and harder – giving building occupants more time to react and reducing the window of opportunity for intruders.

UV Blocking

As a bonus, most security films block 99% of UV rays – protecting your flooring, furniture, and merchandise from sun fade.
