StormShield™ Impact FAQ

Does this film stop break-ins?

It significantly increases the effort required to breach glass and helps delay intruders, but no window film can make glass unbreakable.

Is this the same as hurricane film?

No. StormShield™ Impact is for safety and security—not hurricane protection. A separate StormShield Hurricane System page covers code-related installations.

Does the film change how the glass looks?

No—StormShield™ is engineered to be optically clear with minimal visual change.

Do I need an anchoring system?

Anchoring increases performance for security applications. Glass Wrap evaluates each opening to determine if it is recommended.
