ANTI-GRAFFITI
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.
What Can Security Film Do for You?
Security film reinforces the glass you already have — making it stronger, safer, and more resistant to everyday hazards. It’s a simple upgrade that works quietly in the background, protecting your home or business without changing the way your windows look.
Strengthens existing glass
Helps prevent shattering during impacts
Adds peace of mind against accidents, storms, or attempted break-ins
Security film is a cost-effective way to improve safety without replacing your windows.
Protect Your Building & The People Inside
Safety & Security Window Film strengthens the glass in your commercial building, helping it stay intact during impacts, accidents, or attempted break-ins. Instead of shattering into dangerous pieces, the film holds the glass together — keeping your property safer and reducing downtime from repairs.

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
Our Llumar® security window films, when combined with a structural attachment system, create a critical layer of protection for schools by strengthening the glass and securely bonding it to the window frame.
This added reinforcement helps slow intruders, increases impact resistance, and reduces dangerous glass shattering. Available in both clear and dual-reflective options, these films are ideal for securing storefronts, offices, schools, government buildings, and other vulnerable areas.
