Anti-burglary Window Film | QS8 | Mirror

Reflective anti theft window film turns your current glass into safety glass

When a pane of glass or a window is broken, a hole is created through which burglars can gain entry to the interior of your premises. It only takes them a few seconds and, more often than not, goes unnoticed by passers-by. It means that, unfortunately, thieves can all too often gain access to your valuable belongings. Anti theft window film will slow down a burglar’s actions enough to force him to give up his attempt and increase the chances of his being discovered by passers-by. Anti theft window glass holds the glass together like a shield, as it were, making it very difficult to actually penetrate the window and, as a result, considerably hindering access to the inside of the building. Protect your valuable belongings with QS8 security film.

Glass security film | ++Class

Our anti-theft window films are divided into 3 different security categories: +Class, ++Class & +++Class, of which +++Class film offers the best protection. The differences between the three categories lies in the thickness (microns) of the glass security film. ++Class is 258 microns thick. It is a window film that offers very good protection. This class of security film is commonly used in homes and offices. This security film has very good delaying properties to deter burglars. This variety of anti theft window film is slightly tinted when viewed from the inside, and mirrors when seen from outside. If the inside is lighter than the outside – at night, for example – you will lose the mirror effect. Anti theft window film offers both protection and privacy (privacy control). As a result, this reflective anti theft window film has a two-fold effect.

How to apply window film

Security film is easy to apply yourself with the aid of our special tools. A weighted squeegee is an essential piece of equipment which will help you apply your window film absolutely perfectly. We recommend using a weighted squeegee so you can apply extra pressure to the glass, which is needed due to the rigidness of the film. Glass security film is applied to the inside of a window. It can be used on all kinds of plate glass (and on all grades of Low E glass including triple glazing). Our window film always comes with clear application instructions which explain, in a step-by-step plan, how to apply the anti theft film. This kind of film cannot be applied to structured glass such as patterned glass and wire-reinforced glass.

Please note: If you have any grade of Low E glass including triple glazing you should never apply this kind of film, QS8, to the inside of your window. Low E glass is coated with a metal finish which does not combine well with solar / mirrored window film. In fact, it can often cause an expansion crack in the pane. If you have Low E glass, you must always apply solar / mirrored film to the outside of a window. In that situation, there is no risk of an expansion crack. Click here for our outdoor/exterior quality mirror film (PP75). You can apply the QS7 on the inside of the Low E glass.

Window sealing using structural sealant

The security film must be applied over the entire glass pane (including between the rebate). If this is not possible, you can use the following special structural sealant: DOWSIL™ 995 Sealing Sealant | Black | High impact. This structural sealant ensures that the window does not come loose from the frame during a burglary attempt. The structural sealant works as a seal between the glass and the frame. This method of sealing helps prevent the glass (in combination with security film) from coming loose from the frame in the event of a high impact. The structural sealant must be applied to the inside (window film side) of the glass (indoor). DOWSIL™ 995 structural sealant has a very high tensile strength and is therefore ideal for absorbing impact energy such as that released by; explosions, extreme weather conditions, vandalism & burglary attempts.

* Security film is an additional protective measure against burglaries and may slow down a burglary. SCALASOL® cannot be held liable for any successful burglary and any damage or costs arising from it.
