Forced Entry & Break-In Protection
Reinforce Your First Line of Defense
Safety and security window film creates a powerful barrier that holds glass together during forced-entry attempts, significantly delaying and often preventing intruders from gaining access.
- Delays Break-Ins: Even when shattered, the film holds glass fragments in place, preventing quick access through windows and doors. Intruders typically abandon attempts after 30-60 seconds of resistance.
- Critical Extra Time: The delay gives occupants time to retreat to safe rooms, call 911, and allows law enforcement or security to respond before entry is gained.
- Visible Deterrent: Would-be intruders often recognize reinforced glass and move on to easier targets—security film acts as a powerful psychological barrier.
- Protects High-Risk Areas: Ideal for ground-floor windows, glass doors, retail storefronts, schools, government buildings, and any vulnerable entry point.
- Works 24/7: Unlike alarms that only alert after a breach, security film physically prevents entry around the clock with no monitoring required.
Upgrade your security with professional-grade film engineered to keep intruders out and your property safe.
Blast & Explosion Mitigation
Reduce Injury from Flying Glass
In the event of an explosion, bomb blast, or high-impact event, unprotected glass becomes deadly projectiles. Safety film is proven to dramatically reduce injury and save lives.
- Holds Glass Intact: The film's powerful adhesive bonds glass fragments together, preventing them from becoming high-velocity shrapnel that causes severe injuries or death.
- GSA & DoD Tested: LLumar safety films meet rigorous U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and Department of Defense (DoD) standards for blast resistance and fragment retention.
- Life-Saving Protection: Studies show that flying glass causes over 75% of blast-related injuries. Safety film is the most cost-effective way to mitigate this risk in government facilities, embassies, corporate offices, and high-profile buildings.
- Anchoring Systems Available: When combined with Pentagon or wet-glazed anchoring systems, film performance is maximized—keeping entire glass panes attached to frames even under extreme pressure.
- Invisible Defense: Provides bomb-blast protection without altering the building's appearance or requiring expensive window replacement.
Protect occupants with certified blast-mitigation film trusted by federal agencies worldwide.
Hurricane, Tornado & Severe Weather Protection
Keep Your Family and Property Safe During Storms
When severe weather strikes, window and door glass becomes a critical vulnerability. Safety film keeps shattered glass contained, protecting occupants and property from wind-driven debris, pressure changes, and the elements.
- Windborne Debris Impact: High-velocity debris from hurricanes and tornadoes can shatter unprotected glass. Safety film holds the glass together, preventing interior damage and maintaining the building envelope.
- Prevents Pressure Breach: When a window fails during a storm, interior pressure can spike, lifting roofs and causing catastrophic structural damage. Film-reinforced glass keeps the envelope sealed.
- Miami-Dade Approved: Many LLumar safety films meet stringent Miami-Dade County impact standards—the gold standard for hurricane protection—when installed with proper anchoring systems.
- Insurance Benefits: Some insurers offer premium discounts for homes and businesses protected with certified impact-resistant film—check with your provider for potential savings.
- Faster, Cheaper Than Impact Glass: Retrofitting existing windows with safety film costs a fraction of replacing them with impact-rated glass, and installation is completed in days, not weeks.
Don't wait for the next storm warning—protect your property now with proven severe-weather safety film.
Accidental Impact & Injury Prevention
Protect Against Everyday Glass Hazards
Accidents happen—children running into patio doors, slips and falls against shower glass, sports equipment striking windows. Safety film dramatically reduces injury risk by holding broken glass in place.
- Reduces Liability: Business owners, schools, gyms, and property managers face serious liability when occupants are injured by broken glass. Safety film meets ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety glazing standards, reducing exposure to costly lawsuits.
- Ideal for High-Traffic Areas: Lobbies, hallways, gyms, schools, childcare facilities, storefronts, and sports complexes all benefit from reinforced glass that won't shatter into dangerous shards.
- Prevents Serious Cuts: Traditional glass breaks into jagged, razor-sharp pieces that cause deep lacerations and permanent scarring. Film-treated glass stays in one piece, preventing contact with edges.
- Peace of Mind for Families: Homes with children and pets are safer with safety film on sliding glass doors, large windows, and any glass near play areas.
- Code Compliance: Many jurisdictions require safety glazing for certain applications. Retrofitting with safety film brings older buildings into compliance without expensive glass replacement.
Make your property safer for everyone—eliminate the hidden danger of unprotected glass.
99.9% UV Protection
Safety Film Does More Than Just Protect From Impact
In addition to physical security, LLumar safety and security films block 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays—the same protection you get from dedicated solar control films.
- Skin Cancer Foundation Endorsed: Prolonged UV exposure indoors contributes to skin cancer risk. Safety film creates a UV-safe environment for homes, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.
- Prevents Fading: UV rays are the leading cause of interior fading and damage. Protect flooring, furniture, artwork, merchandise, and finishes from sun-related degradation.
- Dual-Purpose Protection: Get both security and solar performance in one installation—no need to choose between impact resistance and UV defense.
- Energy Savings: Many safety films also reject solar heat, reducing cooling costs and improving comfort in sun-exposed rooms.
- Clear, Low-Reflective Options: Enjoy natural light and views without sacrificing UV protection or security—modern films are nearly invisible once installed.
Upgrade to safety film and enjoy comprehensive protection for occupants, interiors, and your bottom line.
Holds Broken Glass Together
The Core Benefit That Saves Lives
The fundamental purpose of safety and security film is fragment retention—keeping shattered glass bonded together rather than allowing it to scatter into dangerous projectiles.
- Powerful Adhesive Bond: LLumar safety films use advanced, pressure-sensitive adhesives engineered to create an incredibly strong bond with glass—tested to withstand extreme impact, blast pressure, and environmental stress.
- Tested & Certified Performance: Films are rigorously tested to ANSI, ASTM, GSA, and international standards for impact resistance, fragment retention, and tear strength. You can trust the film will perform when it matters most.
- Even After Failure, Glass Stays Put: When a protected window is struck hard enough to break, the glass spider-webs but remains attached to the film and the frame (especially with anchoring systems), blocking entry and preventing injury.
- Works on All Glass Types: Safety film performs on annealed, tempered, laminated, insulated, and even wired glass—making it a universal retrofit solution for existing buildings.
- Multi-Layered Films for Extreme Protection: For the highest-security applications, thick multi-layer films (8-15 mil) provide maximum fragment retention and puncture resistance.
Choose safety film for proven, life-saving glass retention when it matters most.
Pentagon Anchoring & Wet-Glazed Systems
Maximize Film Performance With Professional Attachment
Safety film alone dramatically improves glass performance—but when combined with mechanical or chemical anchoring systems, protection reaches the highest possible level.
- Pentagon Mechanical Attachment: Aluminum or composite batten bars are mechanically fastened around the window frame, clamping the film-covered glass in place. Even when glass fully fractures, the entire pane stays anchored and won't blow out or fall in.
- Wet-Glazed Chemical Bonding: High-strength structural sealants (like DOWSIL 995) chemically bond the film edge to the frame, creating an invisible, permanent attachment that meets or exceeds Pentagon system performance without visible hardware.
- Required for Highest Certifications: GSA-approved blast protection and Miami-Dade hurricane impact ratings typically require anchored installations. If code compliance or insurance certification is needed, anchoring is essential.
- Prevents Frame Pop-Out: Extreme forces can dislodge unanchored glass from frames entirely. Anchoring ensures the glass/film assembly stays in the opening, maintaining the protective barrier.
- Custom Solutions: We assess each project individually and recommend the most effective, code-compliant anchoring method for your specific threat level, budget, and aesthetic requirements.
For maximum security, combine premium safety film with professional anchoring systems—the ultimate defense.
