Do you know about “smash and grab”?
Most homes have valuables like jewellery, electronics, financial information and more, and very often they are near a window, easily within reach to an intruder. Many residences also have home offices, with expensive computers and files within range of a window. Patio doors also provide a temptation to a burglar. With the toss of a brick, he can quickly get in and grab valuables. Illegal access is much more challenging and less likely to occur. On higher windows, it can also protect from impact from storm-tossed debris such as tree limbs, or even prevent a child from falling out a broken window. Surprise the Intruder with a window that cracks but does not break when hit!
A large number of burglaries in the Greater Toronto Area are through open or unlocked doors and windows. It’s not uncommon to become comfortable or complacent in what we think is a “safe” community. We open a window or back door to get ventilation and then forget to close it. Older windows often mean broken or weak locks.
Window film is a great solution!
Statistics indicate that almost 70 per cent of all burglaries involve forced entry through a window or door. Madico and SafetyZone® by HANITA safety film helps deter break-ins, theft and even personal injury. Available in clear, tinted and frosted window film versions, these films are virtually invisible but what you will see is peace of mind.

Home Window Film FAQS
What is security window film, and how does it work?
Security window film is a clear but thick layered polyester that is applied to glass, and it holds the glass window together after it is damaged. In the event of a break-in, it slows down would-be home invaders by rendering the window more robust to break through, buying critical seconds for police to arrive. Professionally Installed – Protection Plus offers a line of films installed professionally that adhere to windows more strongly than traditional films, providing an undetectable, added layer without affecting the style of your home.

How much does professional window film installation cost in the GTA?
Professional installation in Toronto typically costs $15–$35 per sq ft.

While DIY kits may save money upfront, professional installation ensures bubble-free adhesion, proper edge sealing, and access to the manufacturer’s warranty, which is key for quality and longevity.
How does frosted window film improve privacy in homes?
Frosted window film creates a stylish, translucent barrier that allows light in while obscuring visibility—perfect for bathrooms, entryways, sidelights, or basement windows. It’s a great alternative to blinds or curtains, while enhancing privacy and allowing sunlight to pass through. Protection Plus offers custom-cut frost films for both functional and decorative uses.
Does window film protect against UV damage to furniture and flooring?
Absolutely. High-quality film blocks up to 99% of UV rays, protecting furniture, artwork, and flooring from fading, cracking, or discoloration.

Tinted or clear films maintain views and protect us without reducing the full-spectrum UV protection needed to save skin and maintain your property for the long term.
Why Caulking Matters for Window Film Security
During a break-in, intruders often try to pop out windowpanes rather than shattering them. That’s why caulking is so important, because it holds the film and glass firmly in place to the window frame, preventing easy removal. Protection Plus uses Dow Corning structural silicone caulking, a trusted brand in high-security applications. In short, the caulking :
- Secures glass to the frame to prevent the window from popping out during break-ins
- Enhances impact resistance by reinforcing film-edge adhesion
- Maintains flexibility in extreme Ontario weather (hot or cold)
- Improves shatter retention, holding broken glass safely in place
- Long-lasting bond ensures reliable performance over time
- Essential for forced-entry protection in security film installations
