3M™ Residential UV Protection Film

Residential
Safety & Security Film

Help hold shattered glass together and add resistance to impact and forced entry across vulnerable household windows and doors.

Designed around your space

A stronger layer
for vulnerable glass.

3M safety and security film bonds to existing glass, helping retain dangerous fragments if the pane breaks and making rapid access through the opening more difficult.

Film does not make glass unbreakable or guarantee against intrusion. When correctly specified—and paired with an appropriate attachment system where required—it can provide valuable additional time, deterrence and injury protection.

Best for: Entry doors, sidelights, ground-floor windows, large panes, children’s areas, storm-exposed glass and homes concerned about accidental breakage or forced entry.

            FAQ

            Frequently Asked Questions

            No. It helps hold broken glass together and can delay access, but the glass can still break and no film can guarantee prevention of forced entry.

            Security film can increase the time and effort required to create an opening, which may deter or delay an intruder. Results depend on the glass, film, attachment system and method of attack.

            An attachment system connects the filmed glass more securely to the window frame. It may be recommended where stronger glass retention is required.

            Clear safety and security films are designed to provide minimal visual change, subject to product and glazing conditions.

            It can help retain fragments after glass breakage, but suitability for storm or severe-weather risks requires a professional assessment and does not replace compliant storm protection.
