Safety and security film is designed to reinforce glass, helping it hold together upon impact. It protects against break-ins, accidents, and natural disasters by reducing the risk of shattering and flying glass.

Window films reduce solar heat gain, block harmful UV rays, and improve insulation. This can lead to up to a 35% lower energy bill, according to Business Insights, by decreasing the need for air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. Decorative film is also available to add to your business or home's aesthetic. 

Switchable film, also known as smart film, changes from transparent to opaque with the flick of a switch or the press of a remote. It utilizes liquid crystal technology to provide privacy on demand, making it ideal for conference rooms, bathrooms, modern interior design, or any location that requires security film with added flexibility.

While window film won't stop a determined intruder, security films make it significantly harder and slower to break through glass, acting as a deterrent and giving you more time to respond or alert authorities. Paired with anti-graffiti window film, this is a great way to protect your business and its appearance.

Most window film is designed to be discreet and minimally visible. Some are completely clear, while others offer tinted or reflective finishes to enhance privacy and aesthetics. When installed by professional commercial window tinting installers, like our professionals at Hudson Valley Window Film, these should be very unnoticeable.

It depends on your window manufacturer's policy. Some warranties may be affected by aftermarket modifications. We offer security and decorative film that is manufacturer-approved and can guide you on how to preserve your warranty.
