Product Details

Protect your lifestyle from unwanted damages with BuyDecorativeFilm's Clear Security and Safety 8 Mil S8MC window film. Its 8 mil thickness allows the film to serve as a protective layer once applied to your window. The S8MC can absorb impact from break-in attempts and hold shattered glass together in case of breakage while remaining virtually clear and transparent so that you won't even know it's there.
  • Minimize property damage by absorbing impact from break-in attempts and holding shattered glass together
  • Excellent UV rejection with unmatched optical clarity and transparency
  • Film is applied to the interior side of the window
  • Strong adhesives to last many years; for easier installation, remember to use a lot of soap/water mixture to soak both the adhesive side and window
  • High quality performance films that are sensitive by nature, please remember to take caution when handling the film as the slightest fold will create a permanent wrinkle
  • Free tools and easy installation guide to make installation DIY-friendly, make sure window surface is completely clean and absolutely free of any blemishes

Q:Can this be bought in a different color, i.e. blue, red or green?
by|May 22, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  In addition to the clear security film, we also have the security film in different levels of black tint. (We also have a 4 mil security film in silver tint, but not 8 mil). We do have transparent color art films in blue, green, red, and yellow. These can be installed on top of the clear security film to add the color. (This should be done after the security film has fully dried, which can take a few weeks.)

        Answer This Question

        A:  The security film will absorb impact, and if the glass breaks, it will hold the pieces together so that it is harder to puncture through. However, the glass can still crack with a strong enough impact. Note that S8MC is intended for inside.

            This stuff is awful. Not at all pliable, which makes it so difficult to work with. The Gila brand is far superior, but unfortunately no longer comes in clear. I wouldn’t recommend this to my worst enemy.

            I do not recommend
            I cannot attest to how well the film works, just the installation. I read the instructions several times, watched the videos, and bought the extra installation kit. It's not that hard to put up, but I would dare say practically impossible to get it crystal clear. Residue forms very quickly between the window and the glass and once it's there you can never get it out. I tried to install on a sliding glass door. I tried three times, tearing off each of the previous ones and using a new sheet. I did get better with each attempt, but even the last one was no where near crystal clear. I squeegied for hours but new water bubbles seemed to form out of nowhere. And by the next morning new water pockets had formed and could not be squeegied out because the edges had dried. I'm an avid do it yourselfer, and I don't like to admit defeat, but I think this one is best left to the pros. I was so irritated by the time I was done for all the hours and money I wasted, it just isn't worth it.
