Security Window Film Malaysia: Vilux Hammer Demonstration
How Safe Is Security Window Film? Watch Vilux's Glass Hammer Demonstration
Can security window film protect your home when glass is hit or broken? While it cannot make glass unbreakable, suitable security film can help hold shattered pieces together and provide additional resistance to impact. This makes it a practical option for homeowners concerned about glass safety and forced entry.
At Vilux, we help Malaysian homeowners and businesses choose security window films for their protection needs. To show how the film works, our team carried out a hammer demonstration comparing damaged glass with and without security film.
Watch Our Vilux Security Window Film Hammer Demonstration
What happens when someone repeatedly strikes a glass sliding door? Our video shows the impact on glass panels and how security film can affect the way broken glass stays together.
The demonstration shows visible cracking, broken glass and fragments remaining attached to a filmed panel. It is a practical product demonstration rather than a certified laboratory test.
What Happened During Our Hammer Demonstration?
Our team used glass panels to illustrate the difference between ordinary glass breakage and glass fitted with security film.
| Demonstration | What We Observed |
|---|---|
| Glass without security film | Extensive cracking and an opening in the damaged panel |
| Glass with security film | Spiderweb-like cracks, with much of the broken glass remaining in place |
| Additional hammer impacts | Further damage, while some glass fragments remained attached |
The key difference is glass retention.
Even when the filmed glass cracks, the film may help keep broken pieces together instead of allowing them to fall away immediately.
Actual results depend on the film, glass construction, framing and impact conditions.
How Safe Is Glass with Security Window Film?
Security window film adds an extra protective layer to existing glass. Although the glass can still break, the film may help reduce certain risks associated with loose fragments and damaged windows.
What Difference Does Security Film Make?
| Safety Concern | Glass Without Security Film | Glass with Security Film |
|---|---|---|
| Accidental impact | Broken fragments may fall or scatter | Film may help keep shattered pieces attached |
| Risk of cuts | Loose, sharp glass can cause injuries | Better fragment retention may reduce exposure to loose pieces |
| Forced entry | Broken glass may leave an opening | Film may provide additional resistance and delay access |
| Appearance | Maintains the original glass appearance | Suitable clear films can add protection while preserving visibility |
What Does This Mean for Your Family?
Our hammer demonstration highlights three practical reasons homeowners consider security film:
Security film does not guarantee protection against burglary or injury. Its effectiveness depends on the complete glass and installation system.
Where Can Security Window Film Be Installed?
Security film can be considered for various residential and commercial glass surfaces.
| Glass Area | Common Concern |
|---|---|
| Sliding glass doors | Accidental impact and attempted forced entry |
| Large house windows | Shattered glass and exposed openings |
| Glass partitions | Accidental breakage and loose fragments |
| Shopfront glazing | Glass damage and security concerns |
Not every film is suitable for every glass panel. Before installation, we assess the existing glazing, frame condition, glass dimensions and protection requirements.

What Should You Check Before Choosing Security Film?
Choosing security film involves more than selecting the thickest available option.
Our team considers:
01
Existing glass
The type, condition and construction of the glass.
02
Film specifications
Thickness and relevant protective properties.
03
Window framing
How the glass is supported within its frame.
04
Installation conditions
Access, glass dimensions and application requirements.
05
Protection priorities
Whether the main concern is accidental breakage, fragment retention or additional entry resistance.
The exact film model and thickness used in our hammer demonstration were not confirmed, so the video should not be treated as proof of a particular product's certified resistance rating.
