Safety & Security Window Film
Benefits:
Help Deter Theft
Glass is a common entry point for burglars and vandals. Security film makes forced entry more difficult by holding the glass together even after repeated strikes. Criminals often move on to easier targets when they realize the window won’t break as expected.
Improve Shatter Resistance
A safety film has a five times stronger impact than polycarbonate laminate, yet it is thin enough to make windows and doors appear clear. Safety film boasts a unique combination of properties: impact resistance, in-plane shear resistance, UV stability and clarity.
Protection from Injury
Security film is a clear, thin and virtually invisible film that helps minimize these hazards by holding fragments of glass together so they're not sharp or dangerous.
Protection from Violent Weather
Security films are able to withstand extraordinary wind and force, security film helps prevent entry of water and wind-borne debris, providing superior protection 24-hours a day. Disasters can strike with little or no warning; security films are always ready.
Anti-Graffiti Film
Anti-graffiti film creates a removable, sacrificial layer on glass surfaces. If vandalism occurs — such as paint, scratching, or etching — the damaged layer can be peeled off and replaced easily. This saves time and money while keeping storefronts and public spaces looking clean and professional.
SAFETY & SECURITY FILMS FOR SCHOOLS
Protecting Students, Staff & Community Spaces
Schools face unique safety challenges, and vulnerable glass is often the weakest point in the entire building. Security window film and attachment systems help reinforce existing windows and doors, increasing impact resistance and slowing forced entry — all without the cost of replacing glass.
Shade9 installs professionally rated Llumar Safety & Security Films across West Virginia schools, helping create safer classrooms, entryways, offices, and common areas.

Anti-Smash & Grab Window Film
Protects storefronts, entry doors, and vulnerable glass from fast break-ins. Security film helps hold the glass together even after repeated hits, slowing intruders and reducing costly damage. A simple upgrade that makes forced entry much harder and buys time for alarms or police response.
Active Shooter Mitigation
While no film is “bulletproof,” safety & security film helps keep glass in place after impact, slowing down entry and reducing dangerous glass fragmentation. This delay gives occupants and first responders valuable extra moments during life-threatening situations.
Blast Mitigation
Security film helps reduce injuries from flying glass during explosions, pressure waves, or industrial accidents. By anchoring shards to the film, it minimizes dangerous debris and supports safer emergency response in government, industrial, and high-risk facilities.
Popular Security Films for Forced-Entry Delay
