3M™ Safety & Security Window Films & Attachment Systems
Trust 3M science to help you cost effectively fortify your existing windows. 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films are strong, micro-layered, tear-resistant films that help keep people safe while you upgrade to code. Once the film is applied, glass tends to break more “safely” by holding the glass in place and reducing the risk of cutting or piercing injuries.

Cost effective, up to code
Glass in hazardous locations may be required by building code to meet safety glass standards, such as:
Glazing in and adjacent to doors and windows where the exposed glass surface area is greater than nine square feet
Glazing near walkways, stairs or ramps, or elevated glass
Glazing in guards and railings, as well as near wet surfaces such as bathrooms, showers and pools
3M™ Safety & Security Window Films can help you quickly and easily meet safety glazing impact requirements at a fraction of the cost of replacing windows.*
Solves “wrong window” issues
If the wrong glass was installed on your new construction project, 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films can be a fast, cost-effective alternative to replacing them.
Even more protection
If glass is broken, 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films & Attachment Systems anchor the film to the glass frame.
Save money fast
3M™ Safety & Security Window Films can also include solar energy rejection features to help reduce air conditioning costs, often providing payback in as little as three years.
*According to 16 CFR 1201 Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Materials. Local building codes vary; consult a local code official for requirements and approval criteria.
