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.

- Security films of 200 microns and thicker
- Blocks most UV light to slow fading
- Frosted and privacy versions for meeting rooms and bathrooms

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
Daylight application or anchored
A film applied to the visible glass is quickest. Anchoring it to the frame holds the whole pane in place and is the choice for blast mitigation.
What the rules say in England
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Security window film in Mitcham: questions
Can you survey in Mitcham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Mitcham, Morden and Wimbledon are booked around 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.
Does security film make glass as strong as laminated glass?
Not usually. Film greatly improves how glass breaks and slows an attack, but it only matches a laminated glass class where that film and glass combination has been tested together.
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.
