Found out the hard way. - Update: This film works and I found out the hard way. 4am on Saturday I woke to a loud, fast banging that also shook the house. I ran down the stairs to find out what was going on as my alarm went off (glass break sensors). I found a burglar attempting to bust in the window of the back door. Between me and the alarm, he was scared off. He had hit the big glass window of the back door around a dozen times with a small crow bar. This created a little hole in the window, but the film kept the 100 year old plate glass window mostly in place. This film slowed down his entry long enough for other layers of protection to scare him away. Instead of a couple seconds it would've taken without the film, the creep was working on that window for a little while before he was scared off. If I didn't have this film on the back door window, he may have gotten in the house, I don't wanna know what might have happened to my family sleeping inside. As the cops came and searched the area for the burglar, the window hole slowly got bigger as gravity pulled the glass down and tore the film. It started out a little smaller than a tennis ball size and grew to a football sized hole in about a half hour. I loosely applied a decorative window cling film to hold the glass in place until a repair person came out to replace the window later that day. The picture I have attached is from hours after the event and the placement of the film. I have ordered more film and am applying it on every basement window along with bars on the windows not visible from the street. It's all about layers of protection and visible deterrents. This burglar wasn't deterred by cameras or alarm warning signs, but the film slowed him down long enough to be scared off by other means. _______________________ Original Review: My home was burglarized a little over a month ago. The burglars gained entry by breaking a basement window. This caused us to improve our security. Once you are broken into you are very likely to be robbed again. We needed to reclaim our home and feel safe again. One of the many ways We did this was by putting this film on the basement windows and other windows that might tempt a burglar. Overall I would recommend this film because it is easy to install and provides some peace of mind. No security system is 100% effective, but this will at least slow any burglar down. Also we live in an Earthquake zone, this will help my family be safe from broken or falling glass, should the big one hit (knock wood). Pros: - I easily installed this myself, even though I have no real repair/handy type experience. I admit I am a little afraid of power tools. - I feel safer in my home. Cons: - Even though I felt I cleaned the glass really well before, there are still some streaks visible. I didn't see them before I put the film on. I don't know if this is installation error or the product. I have to really look to see them, especially since I put up a thin curtain. - There are still bubbles after a month. I thought I got all the bubbles out, but I guess I didn't. The directions say not to worry about tiny bubbles as they will go away after a month. Well some did, some didn't. Tips: - While the majority of this project is a one person job, but have someone there to help when peeling off the backing and placing the film against the window. If the piece is at all large, like for a standard window, it can be a little had to manage. Remember it comes rolled and wants to return to that position. Also, the film can also slip around a little when trimming. A second set of hands and eyes monitoring that while someone else is cutting may be handy. - Make sure the area is clean, not just the window, and you have your hair secured. I was putting this on back door and windows. I didn't make much of an effort to clean the area, just the window. Now there are a small flake of leaf debris stuck between the window and film on the door, and one of my hairs stuck between the film and a window. They aren't really noticeable to other people and they are in the back part of the house, but I see them every time. - The film does come with a cutting tool etc. They are okay, and will do he job. But be careful, I have a wavy film edge on one window where I learned the hard way. I then used a metal straight edge to trim the edges. Only I notice this, but again I notice this every time I see that window. - Also, be careful when cutting. My finger barely grazed the edge of the film and it sliced a little into my finger, like a bad paper cut. Hopefully, if someone tries to break into my house, they will see the hair, debris, wavy edge, bubbles and know that I put a security film on the window making it harder to break in. I know this is wishful thinking, but I'm a positive person. Review: This stuff works!!! - This stuff works! Never installed window film before but decided to give it a try after reading some reviews about the easy installation process. Little bit of water sprayed between film and window followed with some quick work of the squeegee and bam. Done. About 2 weeks after installation it was put to the test when a masked up would-be thief tried breaking into my store. Video tells the rest. Worth every penny and much cheaper to do it yourself vs paying someone else. Go for it! ## Features - MINIMIZE PROPERTY DAMAGE by absorbing impact from break-in attempts and holding shattered glass together.

The backing liner covers the adhesive on the film so that the film does not prematurely stick. When you install the film, the backing liner needs to be peeled off from it. **Q: Which of the two layers is the film, and which is the backing liner?** A: The actual window film that you install is thicker than the backing liner, which would be removed and discarded when you install the film. The side of the film that the backing liner is covering has the sticky adhesive. **Q: Which thickness should I get? / Should I use the 4 mil or the 8 mil?** A: The 8 mil is stronger against impact, but the greater thickness makes it more difficult to install properly. The 4 mil is recommended if you mainly need a safety film, which holds shattered glass pieces together in case of glass breakage. **Q: Why did bubbles (or spots where film is not adhering properly) form after the film was installed?** A: This is due to the moisture left inside. The film may appear fine when installed, but afterwards, the water can interfere with the adhesive and cause bubbles to form. Apply firm pressure with the squeegee and push out the water to prevent bubbles. **Q: Is the film applied on the interior or exterior side of the window?** A: This film is intended for the interior side. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IT WORKS!!!

Go for it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I didn't have a great experience *by B***B on May 17, 2024* The film is thick and goes on easy enough if you follow the instructions, watch the videos. Customer service was great with quick response times to my questions. I could not get the 8 Mil film to apply without getting bubbles appearing hours after install. Initially everything looked really good and I was pleased. Some clouding appeared within a few hours but when away in a few days. The bubbles however, UGH! I got bubbles and was told that the 8 Mil requires extra pressure to push all of the water out and the bubble should go away in a couple of weeks. Well, I couldn't push all of the water out without risking breaking the window and the bubbles didn't go away. I installed this on a front storm door window that has some flex in it. I ended up returning the film. I think the product will provide the security it is intended to provide, It does not obstruct visibility where adhered properly. If I were to do this again I would most likely use a thinner product.. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/71707146-bdf-s8mc-window-film-security-and-safety-8-mil-clear](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/71707146-bdf-s8mc-window-film-security-and-safety-8-mil-clear) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
