Security window film is a clear, tough polyester film bonded to the inside face of existing glass with a strong adhesive. When the glass breaks, the film holds the fragments together, which reduces injury from flying glass and slows down anyone trying to get through, without replacing the glass itself.

Things to decide before you order

Is the glass suitable

Some double-glazed units and coated or tinted glass can suffer heat stress with certain films. We check the glass and the unit maker's guidance first.

Film or new glass

Where frames are being replaced or very high resistance is needed, laminated glass usually gives better value over its life than film.

Rules that apply in England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Security window film in Windsor: questions

Which areas near Windsor do you cover?

We can arrange work in Windsor and in nearby Slough (2 miles), Egham (4 miles) and Staines-upon-Thames (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can film be used on listed buildings?

Film is fitted inside and can be removed, so it is often an acceptable way to protect historic glass. Check with the council's conservation officer for listed buildings.

How long does window film last?

Fitted on the inside, quality films typically last many years. Life depends on sun exposure and cleaning, and we give the manufacturer's expected life with the quote.

Can film go on double glazing?

Often, but not always. Some units and coated glass can crack from heat build-up with certain films, so we check the glass type and the unit maker's guidance before fitting.
