SafetyShield window film is engineered to safeguard your home or business assets from the destructive forces of natural disasters. Protect your property with a solution you can trust for reliable and effective security.
Severe weather events can shatter glass and endanger lives in an instant. SafetyShield® safety and security films reinforce windows and doors, helping them withstand the impact of flying debris, high winds, and seismic activity. By holding glass in place, SafetyShield helps protect building occupants and minimize costly property damage during natural disasters.
Our proprietary adhesive technology ensures unmatched glass-to-film bonding, resulting in the highest Peel Strength across the industry.
ANSI Z97.1 Safety Glazing, ASTM F 1642 Blast Mitigation, ASTM F 3561 Forced Entry Resistance after Simulated Active Shooter (glazing component rating), EN 356 Resistance against Manual Attack.
Offers greater tensile strength and tear resistance than standard films.
Helps maintain the building envelope, reducing the chance of catastrophic failure.
Holds shattered glass in place, reducing the risk of injury from sharp shards.
Absorbs and disperses energy from accidental impacts, minimizing the chance of dangerous breakage.
Strengthened glass resists windborne objects during hurricanes, tornadoes, and typhoons.
SafetyShield can help in maintaining indoor temperature, contributing to energy savings by reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
Supported by the Madico SafetyShield Premier Partner (MSPP) program, the industry’s leading comprehensive safety and security film certification program.
There are four different patented and proprietary Anchoring Restraint System solutions available – each with its own level of performance.
When paired with SafetyShield® film, the FrameGard™ Anchoring System is engineered to keep glass securely within its frame during impact. By clamping the filmed glass to the window frame, FrameGard provides a custom-fit solution that enhances safety and extends protection.
The GullWing® Anchoring System, used with SafetyShield® film, is designed to absorb and disperse energy across the entire glazed opening. This reduces stress on the glass and frame, helping keep filmed glass in place and minimizing the risk of dangerous debris.
The Wet Glaze and LifeLine® Anchoring Systems, when paired with SafetyShield® film, provide reliable, cost-effective solutions for securing glass after breakage. Wet Glaze uses a high-performance sealant joint to bond filmed glass to the frame, while LifeLine employs energy-absorbing cords to restrain shattered glass and reduce hazards during extreme events. Together, these systems expand SafetyShield’s flexibility for different applications and budgets.

Madico has been manufacturing safety and security films for over 50 years, and developed the SafetyShield program in the late 1990s to address threats such as terrorism. SafetyShield includes a system of films and attachment mechanisms to strengthen glass and hold it together when broken. Designed for residential, commercial, government, and small business applications, it offers windstorm mitigation, intrusion resistance, and blast mitigation. The company is known for rigorous testing and comprehensive training seminars, ensuring the right application of films for various threat scenarios.

ViewMadico always recommends the use of an anchoring restraint system for glass with spontaneous breakage. There are many anchoring restraint systems available. Mechanical anchoring such as FrameGard®, which holds the film in place through a combination of screws and tape and an aluminum extrusion. This is by far the safest attachment system, tested to hold from 500 to 800 pounds per linear foot of attachment.
Because many frames and building situations do not allow for screws to be used, the Wet Glaze attachment system is the most common attachment method used for these applications. Wet glaze attachment systems have been thoroughly tested to blast mitigation standards and wind loads. As such, Wet glaze attachment systems are a very practical choice for NiS failure mitigation.
In a Wet Glaze installation, the safety film is installed in a daylight configuration, after which a sizeable bead of structural silicone is installed with a minimum of a 1/2-inch (13 mm) contact with the film and the frame. Heavier pieces of glass may require a bead which uses 3/4-inch (19 mm) or larger contact on both the film and frame system.
Choosing the best system for your glass is based on the weight of the glass and the type of framing system. Contact your Madico sales representative and Madico Technical Services for aid in calculating the bead size.
Spontaneous glass breakage is a very real issue with tempered or thermally toughened glass. Nickel sulfide inclusions, while not the only cause, are by far the most common cause for spontaneous breakage.
Nickel sulfide (NiS) inclusions are small, pencil point size particles or imperfections that may be found within a sheet of glass. These are not an issue in common annealed glass but when tempered/toughened glass they can expand due to thermal cycles, breaking the outer plane of compression, causing the entire sheet of glass to explode.
Although tempered/toughened glass breaks into small light pieces, these pieces may still cause injury to people should they fall out of a building above pedestrians. Through our testing, Madico has seen that portions of many panes of tempered/toughened glass, once broken, will hold together until they impact the ground. This allows large portions of glass to strike with considerable weight and force.
Buildings with spontaneous breaks have used safety films for years to hold a broken sheet of tempered glass in place once NiS failure occurs. Depending on the size and weight of the glass, a 7 or 8 mil safety films is used to hold the glass together. For exterior applications, an exterior grade 7 mil safety film is used.
Due to the potential for fallout, Madico does not recommend a simple daylight installation of safety film. Daylight installations is when the film is installed on the visible part of the glass. In this type of installation, once glass breakage occurs, these vibrations may cause the entire sheet of filmed glass to fall from the opening.
