Security window film in Antrim

Security window film in Antrim: what will it cost?

Our guide range for security window film in Antrim is £54 to £132 including VAT (£45 to £110 plus VAT) per m², including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

Glass and fitting options

Fitted on site without removing the glass
Thermal-stress check on sealed units and coated glass
Security films of 200 microns and thicker
Clear safety films from about 100 microns
Edge-retention anchoring into the frame for blast mitigation
Frosted and privacy versions for meeting rooms and bathrooms

Getting the right glass for your building

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.

Safety or security film

Thinner films improve how glass breaks; thicker films add resistance to attack. We match the film to what you want it to do.

What the rules say in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass and sash windows. The Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advises on these cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Security window film in Antrim: questions

Can you survey in Antrim and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Antrim, Ballymena and Newtownabbey are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

Can I still see through security film?

Yes. Security films are optically clear. Frosted and tinted versions are available where privacy or glare control is wanted.
