The Problem
Older LA homes and buildings often have non-tempered glass in doors and low windows that breaks into large, dangerous shards.
Kids, pets, and busy spaces like gyms raise the risk of accidental impacts.
Glass Safety
Broken Glass Safety Film in Los Angeles
Accidents, earthquakes, vandalism — whatever breaks the glass, safety film keeps the pieces where they belong.
Quick Answer
Broken glass safety film is a clear 4 mil polyester layer applied to glass that holds pieces together if the pane breaks. It prevents cuts from falling or flying shards and simplifies cleanup. It's ideal for sliding doors, glass near stairs, gyms, kids' rooms, and offices, and costs about $8–$12 per square foot installed in Los Angeles.
Our Solution
We apply safety film to at-risk glass throughout your property. Upgrade to 7–8 mil film to add break-in resistance too.
Why It Matters in Los Angeles
Many mid-century LA homes and older commercial buildings predate modern safety-glazing rules, making film a simple retrofit.
