Security film is one layer of a broader security plan. We recommend combining it with other security measures appropriate for your property.
Security window film is a thick, optically clear film applied to the interior surface of glass. Unlike standard window tint, security film is engineered specifically to help hold glass fragments together after impact — whether from accidental breakage, severe weather, or a forced-entry attempt.
Erik's Tinting New York installs security film on residential windows, apartment and condo glass, office buildings, storefronts, schools, and commercial properties across NYC, Long Island, and Westchester. We assess your glass, discuss your security goals, and recommend the appropriate film thickness and product for your situation.
What Security Film Provides
Helps Hold Glass Together
Security film is designed to help hold broken glass fragments together after impact, reducing the risk of dangerous flying shards.
Helps Slow Forced Entry
By keeping glass intact longer after impact, security film helps slow forced-entry attempts — making quick break-ins more difficult.
Helps Reduce Flying Glass Hazards
In the event of accidental breakage, storms, or impact, security film helps contain glass fragments and reduce injury risk.
Helps Delay Smash-and-Grab Attempts
For storefronts and retail glass, security film helps delay smash-and-grab attempts by keeping glass in place longer after impact.
Adds a Protective Layer
Security film adds a protective layer to vulnerable glass — windows, doors, and sidelights that are common entry points.
Works on Existing Glass
Security film is applied to your existing windows — no glass replacement required. It's a practical upgrade for homes, offices, and commercial buildings.
