Glass holds together
When the glass breaks, the film holds the pieces in place, and anchoring holds the pane in its frame.
Safety & security film
Why fit security window film in Houston?
Slows a break-in
A filmed door or window takes far longer to get through, and the glass stays in its frame while it does.
Safer schools and stores
Entrances, storefronts and classrooms stay safer for the people inside, with the glass held in one piece if it breaks.
How it works
How security window film works
Security film is thicker than tint. It bonds to the glass so a broken pane stays in one piece. Some films are anchored to the frame for extra strength, which keeps the whole pane in place.
It is not bulletproof and it does not make glass unbreakable. What it does is hold the glass together and buy time. In high winds, a pane held in one piece keeps flying shards out of the room.
The film goes on the inside of the glass and is trimmed to the frame. Clear films are hard to notice once fitted, so your doors and windows look the same as before.

TB★★★★★I have had Alex tint several vehicles of mine many different times and have recommended him to many people. He is honest and very fair and by far does a great job on the tint. Keeps your vehicle clean and leaves no mess when he’s done. Absolute phenomenal work he does. I truly highly recommend his business.
Tyler Pellikan★★★★★Love the job they did on both of my cars. No complaints at all, quality work, and a very nice guy. He came to my house and did everything very professionally. I’ve had the tint on one of my cars for about a year now and there’s still no bubbling or any issues. Definitely happy with the work and would recommend them.
Saarym★★★★★Alex had the best price for carbon tint I could find after asking around. He charged $300 for a 4 door sedan and back windshield, and $60 to remove the previous tint. Scheduling was easy, and he was very responsive and helpful over text. The process itself took around 4 hours. Very happy with the result, he took his time and he also offers a lifetime warranty for any cracking, bubbling, or peeling.

Questions
Safety & security film questions
Ask us anything else when you get your quote.
How much does security window film cost in Houston?
Security window film usually costs from about $10 to $25 a square foot fitted. The price depends on the film thickness and whether it is anchored to the frame. Ask us for an exact quote.
Is security film bulletproof?
No. It holds broken glass together and slows a break-in, but it does not stop bullets.
Can you see security film?
Clear security film is hard to notice. It also comes tinted if you want heat control too.
Does it help in a storm?
It helps keep broken glass in one piece, so fewer shards fly into the room.
Where is security film used most?
Storefronts, front doors, patio doors, ground-floor windows and school entrances.
Can security film go on my patio door?
Yes. Patio doors and ground-floor windows are some of the most common glass we film for safety.
How long does security film last?
Many years. When we quote, we tell you the warranty that comes with the film you choose.
Can security film keep out heat too?
Yes. Tinted security film holds glass together and cuts heat and glare as well.
Will security film change how my glass looks?
Clear security film is hard to see once it is fitted. Tinted security film darkens the glass a little, like window tint.
