How Anchored Security Window Film Works (Dowsil 995 Install Process)

How it works

The full process. Nothing hidden.

What the film is

A clear sheet bonded to your glass.

UL-972 rated

Independently tested to a forced-entry standard. The rating lives on the material, not the marketing.

Holds under impact

336 lb/in² resistance minimum. Anchored perimeter installs test higher.

Invisible on the glass

Optically clear. No tint or haze; your windows look identical from inside and out.

Lifetime interior · 10-yr exterior warranty

Manufacturer-backed. Reaches a working bond inside 24 hours and a full cure in three to four weeks.

01The certified system

A measurable spec, not a marketing claim.

Every install starts from a documented spec: film thickness, certification standard, cure timeline. None of these are numbers we made up. They come from the manufacturer and Underwriters Laboratories, and they're the numbers your broker will see on the paperwork when we're done.

14-mil

Security film thickness sourced from manufacturers like Madico and Solar Gard — a step above the 12-mil industry standard.

02The strength on impact

The film does not let go.

When the glass cracks, the fragments stay bonded to the film. The pane is broken but it is still in the frame, still in the way, and every additional hit has to defeat the glass and the film together. That is the entire point of the install.

The product

A film that bonds directly to your glass.

Security window film isn't a coating or a tint: it's a thick, optically-clear polyester sheet that adheres to the interior surface of your existing glass. It doesn't replace your windows. It upgrades them.

01

Cut to your exact pane size

Every piece is measured and trimmed on-site to fit edge to edge with no gaps.

02

Pressed onto the interior glass surface

A pressure-sensitive adhesive creates a near-permanent bond to the inside face of your glass, invisible once installed.

03

Holds shattered glass in place on impact

On a strike, the film keeps fragments bonded together. The glass may crack, but it stays in the frame: no flying shards, no instant entry point.

04

Completely transparent, zero visual change

No tint, no haze. Natural light and your view are unchanged. Looks exactly like your original window from inside and out.
