Comparing Security Window Film and Bullet-Resistant Glass

  • Security Window Film: Cost-effective and nearly invisible. Strengthens existing glass, delays intruders for 1–2 minutes, and protects against UV, weather and glass injuries..
  • Bullet-Resistant Glass: Engineered to stop bullets and high-force impacts. Best for banks, schools, and facilities needing maximum protection.
  • Key Difference: Window film delays forced entry — bullet-resistant glass stops forced entry and bullets.
  • Starmor’s Approach: We offer both, plus Riot Glass®, security shutters and security doors as a powerful middle options for total layered security.

Bottom Line: Whether you start with security window film or need full ballistic protection, Starmor delivers lasting safety and peace of mind.

In today’s world, protecting what matters most is critical. Whether you’re securing a home, business, or school, the right window protection makes all the difference. At Starmor, we lead with innovation — starting with advanced window film solutions and extending to layered systems like Riot Glass® and bullet-resistant glazing.

Our mission is simple: Provide Safety in an Unsafe World.

Security Window Film – The Smart Foundation for Safer Spaces

Security window film is the first line of defense in the Starmor Shield Series™. This micro-layered film bonds directly to your existing glass, strengthening it from the inside out. When impacted, the film helps hold shattered glass in place — minimizing hazards, deterring intruders, and maintaining visibility and aesthetics.

Key benefits of security window film:

  • Holds broken glass together to reduce injury and forced entry risk

  • Shields against UV rays and solar heat for comfort and energy savings

  • Preserves your building’s appearance — no heavy hardware or visual changes

  • Ideal for homes, storefronts, schools, and office buildings

For residential properties, Starmor’s window films protect what matters most — your family. For schools, they help create safer learning environments by reinforcing glass against impacts and intrusions. For retail stores and commercial establishments they reduce crime and help prevent smash-and-grab’s. break-ins and burglaries.

Bulletproof Glass

Moving beyond films, bulletproof glass represents the pinnacle of window security. This robust material is engineered to withstand bullets, offering the highest degree of protection. As a testament to our commitment to total security solutions, Starmor provides bulletproof glass that integrates seamlessly with your existing architecture, ensuring safety and style.

Bulletproof glass is an excellent choice for businesses and institutions where a higher security level is paramount. Its resistance to forced entry and bullet impacts makes it a formidable barrier against intruders, offering unparalleled peace of mind.

Comparison: Security Window Film vs. Bulletproof Glass

Feature Security Window Film Bullet Resistant Glass
Protection level Delays Forced Entry; No bullet resistance Stops bullets and forced entry; can be shattered
Cost Budget Friendly; retrofit for existing windows Expensive. Involves structural replacement
Installation Quick, non-invasive application Involves custom framing & fabrication
Aesthetic Impact Virtually invisible; solar/privacy versions available Thicker glass appearance
Maintenance Regular Window Cleaning w/o abrasives; estimated 10-15 year life Minimal upkeep once installed

When weighing security window film against bulletproof glass, it’s essential to consider several factors. Security film is more economical and cost-wise, offering a budget-friendly yet effective security solution. In terms of installation, security film can be quickly applied to existing windows, whereas bulletproof glass often requires a more complex installation process, including replacing the existing window frame.

The level of protection is another critical aspect. While security window film significantly enhances window strength and resilience against break-ins and natural disasters, bulletproof glass offers superior protection against firearms and high-impact threats. Maintenance requirements are also different; security films are more susceptible to normal wear and tear and damage over time, while bulletproof glass requires minimal maintenance, effectively being the same as regular glass.

Cost Comparison: Security Window Film vs. Bulletproof Glass

When considering the cost of enhancing window security, it’s essential to compare security window film and bulletproof glass, as both offer distinct benefits and come with different price points.

Window security film is a cost-effective option. It’s designed to strengthen existing windows and reduce the risk of broken glass, offering protection against break-ins and accidents. We can apply window film directly to glass doors and windows, making it a budget-friendly solution for improving safety.

In contrast, bulletproof glass involves a more significant investment. It’s a specialized product offering higher levels of security, particularly against firearm threats. The cost includes the material and installation process, which may require modifications to existing window frames and structures.

The Importance of Professional Installation

The effectiveness of security window film and bulletproof glass heavily depends on professional installation. At Starmor, our team of experts ensures that every installation is performed with precision and care. Our installers are not just technicians; they are craftsmen who understand the intricacies of each product and the importance of a flawless installation.

Proper installation ensures that the security enhancements perform as intended. Whether it’s ensuring that the security film is free of air bubbles and perfectly adhered to the glass or that bullet-resistant glass is correctly framed and integrated into your building, our team’s attention to detail makes all the difference.

Maintaining Your Security Enhancements

Maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of your security solutions. Regular inspections are necessary for window films to check for signs of wear and tear, such as peeling or bubbling. Simple cleaning with a lint-free cloth keeps films looking clear and functioning.

Bulletproof glass, on the other hand, requires minimal maintenance due to its durable nature. However, periodic checks to ensure the integrity of the glass and framing are still recommended.

Starmor offers comprehensive support and maintenance services for all our products. Our commitment to your security doesn’t end at installation; we’re here to ensure your solutions remain effective for years to come.
