3M Security Window Film Melbourne. Stop smash-and-grabs, hail and flying glass.
A near-invisible 3M film that turns your existing glass into a shatter-resistant barrier, slowing intruders, containing storm and hail damage, and protecting your family from flying glass. If you’re looking for security film Melbourne or anti-shatter window film, this is the 3M specification used in banks, government buildings and retail chains across Victoria. Installed by Melbourne’s 3M Platinum Select Partner.
Glass is still the weakest point of any building.
Victoria Police data shows the majority of residential break-ins involve forced entry through a window or glass door. Add Melbourne’s severe hail events, summer storms and bushfire ember attack, and bare glass becomes the single biggest risk to the people and assets inside.
Smash-and-grab break-ins
A standard window pane breaks in under 3 seconds with a single strike.
Hail & storm damage
Melbourne’s hailstorms regularly produce golf-ball sized impacts on glazing.
Bushfire ember attack
Heat and flying debris from CFA Code Red events can shatter unprotected windows.
Flying glass injury
Most glass-related injuries are caused by shards after the pane has shattered.
A clear, tear-resistant shield that slows intruders and storm damage.
3M Safety & Security film is a microthin, multi-layered polyester laminate (typically 4 mil to 14 mil) applied to the interior of your windows with a pressure-sensitive adhesive engineered by 3M. On impact, the film holds the shattered glass together inside the frame, so the pane doesn’t fall away, intruders can’t reach through, and occupants aren’t showered with shards.
For maximum performance we recommend pairing the film with a 3M Impact Protection Attachment system, a structural sealant that bonds the filmed glass to the window frame, dramatically increasing the force required to breach the opening.

- Independently tested to AS/NZS 2208
