| + | Safety and security window film enhances home safety in the event of an emergency. The film holds glass fragments together if a hurricane or earthquake occur by reducing potential injuries from flying glass fragments. In addition the film holds the glass together if a break-in occurs as it slows an intruder by making it harder for the intruder to penetrate through the glass panels. | ||
