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.

Before the glass is ordered
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.
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.
Glazing rules in England
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.
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 Ashton-under-Lyne: questions
Do you cover Dukinfield as well as Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. As well as Ashton-under-Lyne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden. 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.
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.
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.
