Most break-ins start with one broken window. The glass shatters, falls away, and the way in is open.
3M security film in Las Vegas changes that. It holds the glass together after impact, so a thief has to keep fighting the window while time runs out. LV Tint has protected homes and businesses across the valley since 1970.
3M security window film is a clear or tinted, tough layer of polyester. We apply it to the inside of your existing glass. You keep your original windows and add a layer of defense.
When glass takes a hit, the film grips the broken pieces. They stay in the frame instead of falling out. That keeps people safer from broken glass and makes entry much harder.
Be aware: no film is bulletproof, and no film can promise a break-in will never happen. What it does is slow an intruder down. For a smash-and-grab, that delay often decides the outcome.

It works best as a delay. Smash-and-grab crimes are quick in, quick out. Anything that adds seconds raises the risk for the thief.
For example, our client Louis Vuitton had an attempted break-in. We had installed 3M Ultra S800 with Dow 995 security caulk around the frame edges. The intruder used a crowbar, and surveillance video shows it. The film was punctured, but he never got inside.
The weak point of any security film is the edge, where the film meets the frame. If the film is only stuck to the glass, a hard hit can push the whole pane out.
For higher-risk spots, we bond the film to the glass and the frame so they work as one unit. We use Dow 995 structural silicone and 3M Impact Protection Adhesive Attachment Systems.
Not every window needs this. We will tell you which ones do.
Homeowners. Ground-floor windows, sliding glass doors, and windows near entryways are the usual targets. Film also protects against flying glass during wind storms and earthquakes.
Business owners. Storefronts, dispensaries, jewelry stores, and medical, dental, and law offices all use security film. Our work for The Sanctuary dispensary is a good example. After repeated attempted robberies, we installed Defenselite & 3M security systems on its doors.
We have also worked on federal and military sites, including Nellis Air Force Base, Fallon Naval Air Station, and JPL Logistics (NASA).
The best choice depends on your risk, budget, and how much you want the glass to look unchanged. Here are the main options:
A single-layer film that holds shattered glass in place. A solid choice for many homes.
Built from many micro-thin layers. It is more tear-resistant and flexible than standard safety film.
A Tinted Ultra option for buyers who want a premium, near-invisible look. Many Shades are available!
Combines security with heat and UV control. Helpful on East, South, or West-facing glass or for additional privacy!
We walk you through each one in person. Here at LV Tint, we will work to find the best security film for your needs!
Small jobs can wrap up in a day. Larger storefronts may take longer. We can also work around your hours. One H&R Block storefront was sold, scheduled, and finished in a single day, even though the owner was never on site. We removed old film and installed 3M security film inside, plus a graffiti film outside.
We come to you across Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City.
When professionally installed, 3M clear safety films carry a lifetime limited warranty on homes. Commercial installs carry a 10-year limited warranty. Ask us for the exact terms for the film you choose.
Whether you want 3M security film for your home or storefront, LV Tint will give you a clear plan and a fair quote.
