Security window film · Toronto & GTA
Protect what matters most.
Security window film is a clear 14-mil layer bonded to the glass you already have and anchored to the frame. It stays invisible, and when the window gets hit, it holds. Add an 8-mil exterior layer for maximum protection.

Alarms react. Film prevents.
Alarms and cameras all share the same blind spot. They depend on glass that holds long enough for someone to respond. Standard residential glass gives way in under a minute, which is how long you have before alarm response is moot.
Security film won't call for help. What it does is buy time. The glass stays intact long enough that the attempt turns loud and slow, and most people trying to get in walk away at the window.

The time it takes to defeat a standard residential window.
In a UNC Charlotte study, ~8 in 10 burglars said they'd break off or retreat once they hit an alarm or obstacle mid-break-in.

Real hits. Real glass. Watch how the film holds.
What changes after impact
Same window. Two very different outcomes.
- Glass is struck
- It shatters and falls out
- An opening in seconds
Intruder is inside in seconds
Shards across the floor, and a gap big enough to step through.
- Glass is struck
- Film holds the fragments together
- Anchoring keeps the pane in the frame
Intruder gives up before getting in
Getting through takes time, noise and repeated effort. Same view, no bars.
Where it matters most
Most break-ins start at the same few panes of glass.
You rarely need every window done. We protect the openings that are reachable, hidden from the street, or one reach from a lock.
Patio and French doors
The biggest pane in the house, usually at the back, out of sight of the street.
Ground-floor and basement windows
Reachable from the yard or the side path, and quick to clear once broken.
Glass beside the door
Break the sidelite or porch glass and the lock is one reach away.
Storefronts and cases
Smash-and-grab targets. Filmed before you open, with paperwork for your broker.
Two places we install. One standard that holds.

Four ways to protect your glass.
| Solution | Typical GTA cost | Stops entry? | Monthly fees? | Visible? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ● ImpactGuard Film | From $1K - scales with project size | Yes - sustained delay | None | Invisible |
| Reinforced / Laminated Glass | $20K-$40K+ | Yes | None | Minimal |
| Alarm System | $2.3K-$6.3K over 5 yrs | No - alerts only | $30-$80 / mo | Yes |
| Security Bars | $3K-$6K | Yes | None | Very - institutional look |
Costs reflect typical 2025 GTA installations. ImpactGuard pricing depends heavily on project size (number of openings, pane dimensions, frame type, anchor detail), and larger homes or multi-unit commercial properties can run well above the starting figure. Every quote is fixed and written after an in-person assessment. Alarm subscriptions calculated at midpoint over 60 months. Reinforced glass requires full window replacement. ImpactGuard film is installed over your existing glass with no replacement needed.
Start with the obvious questions.
The six we get asked before anything else. The full list lives on the FAQ page, and anything specific to your property is better answered standing in front of the glass.
01What is security window film?
What is security window film?
It is an optically clear, 14-mil polyester laminate bonded to the interior face of your existing glass, with an optional 8-mil exterior film for the outside face. It does not stop the glass from breaking. It stops the broken glass from leaving the frame, so a pane that has been hit is still a barrier instead of an open hole. The result is a forced entry that takes minutes and makes noise the entire time.
02Does security window film actually stop a break-in?
Does security window film actually stop a break-in?
It is a delay-and-deterrent system, not an impenetrable wall. A filmed opening turns a two-second smash into a sustained, loud, visible attack that has to be repeated to get through. Most opportunistic intruders abandon the attempt well before they are through, and that resistance is what gives your alarm, your camera, and a police response time to matter.
03Will the film change how my windows look?
Will the film change how my windows look?
Not with clear security film: there is no tint, no mirror and no haze, and from the street a protected window looks like any other. That is deliberate, because the protection works better when nobody can tell it is there. If you choose a tinted, solar or privacy film instead, or a combined solar-security film, the glass will look darker, reflective or frosted, and it becomes harder to see in from outside during the day. That is often the point of choosing one.
04Is this the same thing as the tint on a car window?
Is this the same thing as the tint on a car window?
No. Automotive tint is typically 1.5 to 2 mil and exists to control light and heat. Our standard security film is 14 mil, roughly seven times thicker, and is engineered and tested for impact resistance rather than shading. Where an exterior layer is added, that film is 8 mil. It is rated to UL-972, the Underwriters Laboratories standard for burglary-resistant glazing.
05How quickly can you come out?
How quickly can you come out?
We usually reply within four business hours and book most in-person assessments within one business day, with the appointment itself typically inside 48 hours across the core GTA. The assessment is free and produces a fixed written quote.
06Do you install in my city?
