Standard smash and grab protection typically consists of a thin 100-micron tinted film. Its main purpose is to hold shattered glass together and reduce the risk of injury from flying glass fragments, such as cuts or eye injuries.

However, this type of film does not prevent penetration. In many cases, criminals can still break through the window and gain access to the vehicle, putting passengers, belongings, and lives at risk.

Schild Anti Smash & Grab clear film is designed for maximum protection:

• Up to 6 times thicker than standard film
• Installed on the inside of the window
• Significantly delays or helps prevent forced entry

This provides enhanced protection against opportunistic criminals and hijackers, helping to safeguard:

• You and your loved ones
• Employees
• Goods in transit
• Against potential trauma, injury, or loss of life

Our security film is available in:

• Schild Super – 300 microns
• Schild Super Plus – 600 microns

These options provide far superior reinforcement compared to standard window tint films.

The product is not currently SABS certified.

However, it is manufactured using high-strength security laminate technology and has been rigorously tested in various conditions. It is proven to significantly delay entry and deter opportunistic attacks.

Yes. Even with Schild Super Plus protection, the film is designed to resist external attacks, while occupants can still break the window from the inside to escape safely if needed.

In most cases, smash and grab protection:

• Does not negatively affect insurance
• Can be added to your policy
• Has been accepted by insurers for replacement claims

We have not encountered any insurance provider rejecting this protection.

After installation:

• Full curing takes 6–8 weeks, depending on weather conditions
• Keep windows closed for at least 72 hours
• Avoid direct midday sun exposure for 2–3 hours
• Prefer shaded or covered parking for the first week

During this period, moisture evaporates and the film bonds fully to the glass.

This is completely normal.

• Caused by moisture trapped during installation
• May appear as bubbles or a cloudy effect
• Will disappear as the film cures

• 2–7 days in warm weather
• 2–4 weeks in colder or humid conditions

Security film is thicker, so curing may take slightly longer than standard tint.

Wait at least 3–5 days before rolling down windows. Doing so too early may cause the film to shift before bonding properly.

Wait at least 7 days before cleaning to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

A spark plug may still shatter the glass, but the film helps by:

• Holding the glass together
• Significantly delaying entry
• Discouraging opportunistic criminals

While not unbreakable, it provides a strong deterrent and delay barrier.

No. It is not bulletproof. It is designed to reinforce glass and delay forced entry, not stop bullets.

The film is installed on the inside of the vehicle glass, which:

• Protects it from weather damage
• Maintains durability
• Maximizes effectiveness

Yes. Clear security film can be installed on the front windscreen without affecting visibility, subject to local regulations.

You can still exit the vehicle using:

• Emergency glass breaker tool
• Seatbelt cutter / escape tool
• Metal rods from removable headrests
• Rescue tools used by emergency responders

The film is designed not to trap occupants inside.

Common tools include:

• Window breaker hammer
• Seatbelt cutter tool
• Emergency escape tools
• Headrest metal rods in some vehicles

Drivers choose this protection to:

• Delay smash-and-grab attacks
• Strengthen vehicle windows
• Protect passengers from flying glass
• Reduce theft risk at traffic lights

It adds a critical extra layer of safety for everyday driving.
