Our best security window film products, including 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems, are engineered to hold shattered glass in place.

Overview of Commercial Security Window Film

Commercial security window film provides high protection by reinforcing windows against impacts, break-ins and environmental hazards. Its specialized design allows it to retain glass fragments upon shattering, significantly reducing risks associated with broken glass. This film is ideal for businesses looking to enhance security without compromising their building's aesthetic appeal.

Types of Commercial Security Window Films

At EDH Film Group, we understand that each commercial property has unique security needs. Our range of commercial security window films includes specialized options to address various threats and requirements.

UV and Fade Protection Films

Advanced options like the 3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Film Ultra Prestige Series are designed to block up to 99% of harmful UV rays. This premium film enhances glass security and provides exceptional UV and fade protection, making it an ideal choice for businesses aiming to protect interiors, safeguard occupants and preserve the longevity of furnishings and merchandise.

For businesses seeking the same UV-blocking benefits but using basic security films, the 3M™ Safety Series can be paired with a 3M™ Sun Control Film. This combination offers robust security while addressing sun damage and energy efficiency concerns. By layering these products, businesses can achieve superior protection against break-ins, flying glass and harmful UV rays, ensuring a comprehensive security solution.

Benefits of Security Window Film for Businesses

Installing commercial security window film offers multiple advantages, enhancing your business's safety and operational efficiency.

Enhanced Security and Crime Prevention

Our security window film products are designed to protect businesses by deterring break-ins, especially smash-and-grab thefts. By strengthening glass and holding it in place upon impact, these films make it difficult for intruders to gain quick access, reducing the likelihood of theft and damage.

Improved Safety During Natural Disasters

Natural disasters, including storms, hurricanes and earthquakes, can cause severe damage to windows, resulting in dangerous flying glass. Commercial security window film provides additional protection by holding broken glass together, reducing the risk of injury and protecting building occupants and assets.

Protection Against Blast Hazards

In the unfortunate event of a blast, blast-resistant window films help contain shattered glass, preventing it from becoming a lethal hazard. This level of protection is invaluable for high-risk facilities and locations prone to potential explosive hazards.

Cost Savings Through Energy Efficiency

Our tinted security window films enhance safety and contribute to energy savings by insulating windows. By controlling heat transfer, these films help reduce HVAC costs and improve indoor comfort, making your building more energy-efficient year-round.

Key Considerations When Choosing Security Window Film for Your Business

Selecting the right security window film requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with your property.

Film Thickness and Strength

The thickness of commercial security window film directly impacts its durability and effectiveness. Thicker films offer more excellent resistance to impacts and explosions, providing enhanced protection in high-risk areas. EDH Film Group offers a variety of thickness options to suit your business’s specific security needs.

Visibility and Aesthetics

While security is a priority, maintaining a professional appearance is also important. Our films are available in clear and tinted options, allowing you to choose a level of transparency that suits your aesthetic preferences without compromising security.

Improve Comfort

Reduce or eliminate excessive heat.

Hot spots can make a work environment nearly unbearable. 3M™ Sun Control Window Films allow in visible light while rejecting the sun’s heat.

Keep them comfortable all year long.

Did you know that a window can lose as much as 20X more heat in the winter than the same area in an adjacent wall? 3M™ Low-E Window Films help provide increased insulation performance by retaining heat during the winter and cool air during the summer, so you can increase tenant comfort year round.

The difference between natural light and blinding light.

Let in natural light while blocking the annoying glare that comes with it by installing 3M™ Sun Control Window Film. Your tenants won’t have to avoid areas of the building or struggle to view their monitors at certain times of day, so they can get their work done with less eyestrain and discomfort.

Is your building hot in the summer and cold in the winter? Nothing hurts tenant retention like an uncomfortable building. You can keep your tenants more comfortable by rejecting the sun's heat to help keep spaces at more even, moderate temperatures with 3M™ Sun Control Window Film. Application of 3M™ Sun Control Window Film is much, much less expensive than replacing all that glass, and the results rival or match the performance and appearance of new glass.

Installing a low emissivity, or “Low E,” window film can help improve the insulation value of a typical single-pane window close to that of a double-pane window, and of a double-pane close to that of a triple-pane.

Save Energy

Reject the sun’s heat with 3M™ Window Films and reduce the cost of keeping your building comfortable. An estimated 33% of cooling expenses are due to solar heat gain from windows. That’s why cost-effective, energy-saving technologies like 3M™ Window Films are crucial to protecting your bottom line — by rejecting the sun’s heat to keep your space at an even, moderate temperature.

Get a fast payback with significant savings.

The Department of Energy considers window film a top-tier technology for energy conservation with one of the fastest paybacks — approximately three years. Upgrading your windows with 3M™ Window Film can help you achieve significant savings. You could save $1 to $2 per square foot of film installed, or as much as 19 kWh per square foot of glass. Building owners around the world are already taking advantage of these savings — isn’t it time you did too?

Increase Safety

Fortify your glass to reduce the risk of injury or damage.

Tempered glass is stronger than standard annealed glass, but factors such as impurities can cause it to spontaneously explode. When that happens, it can create dangerous openings and even rain glass down on pedestrians.

Weather the storm

Your building, and especially your windows, are vulnerable to the elements every day of the year. When windows break due to high winds, severe storms or accidental impacts, the cost to replace them could pale in comparison to the costs of lost business, physical harm and damaged property. Protect yourself and your business from the risk of flying glass that could cause injuries and damage with 3M™ Safety & Security Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems.

But you can be prepared for the unexpected with 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems. Reduce the risk of flying glass. Help guard against property or data losses. Ensure less business disruption. Help protect your employees, your business and your bottom line by fortifying your glass against natural disasters.
