3M™ Security Window Films: Clear Protection for Windows, Doors & Patio Glass

For homeowners in Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Mississauga, safety, comfort, and peace of mind are more important than ever. As you invest in your home, protecting windows, doors, and patio glass from break-ins, accidents, and severe weather is a smart priority—especially with today’s unpredictable weather and increased security concerns.


At Oakville Windows & Doors Inc., we proudly offer 3M™ Security Window Film solutions, including 3M™ Ultra 800 Security Film (interior-applied) and 3M™ S70 Security Film (exterior-applied). These high-performance films strengthen existing glass while maintaining clear views and the natural beauty of your home.


What Is 3M™ Security Window Film?


3M™ Security Window Film is a clear, high-strength polyester film professionally applied to glass surfaces to reinforce windows and doors. Rather than replacing your glass, security film upgrades it—helping hold shattered glass together if it breaks due to impact, forced entry, or severe weather.


Installed correctly, security film provides an invisible layer of protection that enhances safety without changing the appearance of your windows or doors.


3M™ Ultra 800 Security Film – Premium Interior Protection


3M™ Ultra 800 Security Film is a premium-grade, interior-applied security film designed to deliver maximum protection while remaining completely clear.


Key benefits include:

  • Impact-Resistant: Reinforces glass against forced entry, accidents, and extreme weather
  • Injury Prevention: Holds shattered glass together to reduce the risk of harm
  • UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, helping prevent fading of flooring, furniture, and artwork
  • Energy Efficient: Helps stabilize indoor temperatures and reduce cooling demands
  • Crystal Clear: Maintains natural light and visibility with no compromise on aesthetics


Because it’s installed on the interior, Ultra 800 is protected from the elements, making it a long-lasting and highly durable solution for homes throughout Oakville and surrounding communities.


3M™ S70 Security Film – Reliable Exterior Defense


3M™ S70 Security Film is a cost-effective, exterior-applied security film that acts as a first line of defense for vulnerable glass areas.


Key benefits include:

  • Strengthens Glass: Helps resist breakage from intrusions, storms, or flying debris
  • UV Shielding: Reduces sun damage and interior fading
  • Discreet Protection: Clear finish preserves your home’s exterior appearance
  • Smart Value: Trusted 3M™ performance at an accessible price point


Exterior-applied film is especially useful for ground-level windows, patio doors, and large glass surfaces exposed to weather and impact risk.


Interior vs. Exterior Security Film: What’s the Difference?


Interior-Applied Film

✔️ Long-lasting and protected from weather 

✔️ Maintains exterior aesthetics 

✔️ Ideal for glass shard containment and injury prevention


Exterior-Applied Film

✔️ Acts as the first line of defense against break-ins and storms 

✔️ Absorbs impact before glass fails 

✔️ Ideal for highly exposed or vulnerable glass surfaces


Why Install Both Interior & Exterior Security Film?


For homeowners seeking maximum protection, installing both interior and exterior film creates a powerful dual-layer system.


Benefits of combining both:

  • Double Layer = Maximum Security
  • Stronger Together: Reinforces glass from both sides
  • Weather-Ready: Exterior film absorbs impact while interior film holds shattered glass in place
  • Extended Durability: Added UV and environmental protection for longer-lasting performance


Real-world example: During a hailstorm, the exterior film absorbs the initial impact, while the interior film prevents shattered glass from entering your home—helping protect both the structure and occupants.


Where 3M™ Security Film Can Be Installed


Security film is a versatile upgrade suitable for many areas, including:

  • Front doors with glass inserts
  • Sliding and patio doors
  • Ground-level and basement windows
  • Large picture windows
  • Garage and side-door windows
  • Home offices and commercial storefronts


Our team will assess your home and recommend strategic placement based on exposure, security needs, and budget.
