How a smash and grab happens

It takes seconds. The film decides how it ends.

The same car, the same robot, the same thief. The only difference is safety film on the glass.

Stopped at a robot. A handbag and phone on the passenger seat. A hooded figure walks towards the car.
01At the robot
The bare passenger window has burst. A gloved hand reaches in through the empty frame for the bag.
02One hit, no film
A gloved fist presses on the cracked passenger window. The glass holds and the hand cannot get in.
03One hit, with Nanoshade Pro
The passenger seat is empty except for broken glass. The bag and phone are gone.
04Seconds later, no film

Illustrations. Smash and grab film does not make glass unbreakable. It holds the broken glass in place, so a thief cannot reach in fast.

What the film does

An honest answer

What it does

  • It holds broken glass in the frame after a hit.
  • It makes it slower and harder to reach in.

What it does not do

  • It does not make glass unbreakable.
  • It does not stop someone who takes the whole car.
  • It does not replace care. Keep bags and phones out of sight.

Questions about smash and grab film

Does smash and grab film stop a break-in?

It does not make glass unbreakable. When the window is hit, the film holds the broken glass in place, so it is slower and harder to get in. Keep bags and phones out of sight as well.

Does smash and grab film stop hijacking or car theft?

No. It does not stop someone who takes the whole car, and no film does. It is made for the crime that happens most: a thief breaking a window to grab what is on the seat.

Should I choose tinted or clear safety film?

Choose Nanoshade Pro if you also want privacy. It comes in three shades. Choose Clear Safety if you want the glass to look the same as before.

Do you fit safety film on homes and offices?

Yes. Both films are made for cars and for buildings. We measure for free within 30 km of Randburg and give you a written quote the same day.

How thick is the film?

Nanoshade Pro is 4 mil thick. Clear Safety comes in 2, 4 and 8 mil. One mil is one thousandth of an inch.

Will tinted safety film make it hard to see at night?

Lighter shades are easier to see through at night. If you drive a lot at night, choose Pro 35 or Pro 50 for the front side windows.

What does the warranty cover?

Bubbling, peeling, crazing and lifting of the film. Nanoshade Pro has a 5-year warranty. We register the warranty for you.
