6 Critical Protections for Your Property

XPEL VISION Safety & Security window film is not just about protection—it is about safeguarding everything you have worked for.

Storm Protection

Our safety and security films hold glass together during severe weather impacts, protecting your family or employees and preventing catastrophic interior damage. The film keeps shattered glass in the frame, reducing injury risk and maintaining your building's envelope during Texas storms.

Break-In Prevention

Break-In Prevention

Delay forced entry by 2 to 5 critical minutes—enough time for alarms to alert authorities and intruders to flee. The film holds shattered glass in place, making it extremely difficult to breach your windows.

Shatter Resistance

Shatter Resistance

Prevent dangerous glass shards from flying during storms, accidents, or break-in attempts. The film binds glass fragments together, dramatically reducing injury risk to occupants and protecting your interiors.

99% UV Protection

99% UV Protection

Security film includes UV blocking that protects occupants from skin damage and prevents furniture, floors, and artwork from fading. Get comprehensive protection in one solution.

Cost-Effective Protection

Strengthen existing windows for 80% to 90% less than impact-resistant window replacement. No construction, no permits, no weeks of disruption—just professional installation in 1 to 2 days.

How Security Film Protects Your Property

Understanding the multi-layer defense system

Impact Occurs

Whether from storm debris, a break-in attempt, or an accident, force strikes your window. Without protection, glass shatters into dangerous shards that fly inward, causing injuries and allowing entry.

Film Absorbs Energy

The thick polyester layers (4 to 15 mil) absorb and distribute impact energy across the entire window surface. This dramatically increases the force required to penetrate the glass.

Glass Stays Intact

Even if the glass cracks or shatters, the security film holds all fragments together in the frame. This prevents dangerous shards from flying and creates a barrier that is extremely difficult to breach.

Your Property Stays Protected

The window remains a barrier against entry, weather, and debris. Occupants stay safe, your property stays secure, and you have time for alarms to work and help to arrive.

Safety & Security Film FAQs

Everything you need to know about protecting your San Antonio property

  • Will security film prevent break-ins completely?

    Security film significantly delays forced entry by 2 to 5 minutes, which is often enough time for alarms to alert authorities and deter intruders. While no solution is 100% break-in proof, security film makes your windows extremely difficult to breach quickly.

  • How long does security window film last?

    XPEL VISION security films are designed for long-term durability. With proper care, security film lasts 10+ years and comes with up to a 10-year manufacturer warranty covering defects.

  • Can I install security film myself?

    Professional installation is strongly recommended for security film. Proper installation is critical for the film to perform as designed during impacts. Our certified technicians ensure correct application and warranty coverage.

  • How much does security film cost?

    Pricing depends on film thickness, window size, and number of windows. Security film typically costs $8 to $15 per square foot installed, which is 80% to 90% less than replacing windows with impact-resistant glass.

  • Will security film make my windows look different?

    XPEL VISION security films are clear and virtually invisible once installed. They maintain your natural views and do not significantly change the appearance of your windows.

  • How do I clean and maintain security film?

    Clean security film with a soft cloth and ammonia-free glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Proper maintenance ensures long-lasting performance.

  • Can security film be applied to all window types?

    Security film can be applied to most glass types including single-pane, double-pane, tempered, and laminated glass. We assess your specific windows during consultation to ensure compatibility.

  • What is the difference between security film and storm shutters?

    Security film provides year-round protection without blocking views or requiring deployment before storms. Storm shutters offer maximum protection but must be installed before each storm and block all light and views when deployed.

  • Can security film be combined with other window films?

    Yes. Security film can be combined with solar control films for both protection and heat rejection, or applied over existing window tint for added strength.
