Hurricanes and tornadoes can do untold damage to your home. And the first step towards minimizing damage begins with protecting your windows. Madico Protekt Window Film is a clear, strong film engineered to bond with glass, creating a barrier that holds the window together in the worst of conditions. Protekt films help keep windows from shattering into hundreds of deadly fragments, while helping prevent further damage to your home caused by rushing wind, water and flying debris.

Unlike shutters or plywood, window film does not need to be installed each time a storm approaches. Window film provides passive protection twenty-four hours a day. Laboratory tests show that Madico’s LCL-800-XSR improves the performance of 1/4" plate glass by 28%, allowing it to withstand >200 MPH winds* (Tested at American Testing Laboratories of South Florida 4/03).

Madico offers a wide range of durable, long-lasting films, tested and proven in thousands of installations around the world, including the Smithsonian, the Louvre, New Scotland Yard and many other landmark structures. Trust our worldwide network of dealers and installers to help you determine which film is best for your building.

Offers more protection than 1/2" plywood
Madico’s 15 mil film shown at left, is capable of withstanding the impact of a 9 pound 2" x 4" traveling at a rate of 34 mph. That same 2" x 4" will penetrate a sheet of 1/2" exterior grade plywood.

Improves the strength of annealed glass by over 28%
LCL-800 Tested on residential picture window with 6mm annealed glass to withstand the equivalent of 208 mile per hour wind speeds.**

Graffiti-Free
Vandalism is more than just a nuisance and eyesore, it's also a huge financial drain to public and private budgets. The cost of repeatedly replacing windows and glass that has been scratched up or marked with spray-paint can end up being prohibitive, not to mention time consuming and disruptive.

Graffiti-Free is Madico's window coating for the commercial and retail marketplace. When vandals do strike, it won't be permanent. The window stays put, and just the film is replaced, at a fraction of the cost.

Safety glazing
Meets CPSC, Consumer Products Safety Council standards for safety glazing category II.

Meets ANSI, American National Standards Institute standards for Safety Glazing, unlimited rating.

Madico’s 8 mil Safety Films are also available with solar control and UV blocking properties, guarding against not only wind storms but from sun damage as well.

We live in a far from perfect world. Whether it's man or nature, destructive forces are all around us. For over 30 years, Madico has been engineering products to increase protection against everything from criminal acts, to catastrophic events.

Hurricanes. Earthquakes. Chemical explosions. Bomb blasts. Theft. Vandalism. All of these events can cause massive damage to our homes and businesses, and in many cases, can prove lethal. The addition of Madico films and our safety anchoring restraint systems dramatically improve security for buildings of all kinds.

As a founding member of AIMCAL, Madico is, and always has been the pioneer and world leader in the development of window protection systems. Where most manufacturers test for minimum code requirements, Madico's films meet or exceed the requirements of more US and international standards for safety and security than anyone.

No matter where you are, or what your window protection needs are, Madico has the films to fit them.

Testing Safety Films
Madico believes the most important aspect of our business is in the testing of our products, and we go to lengths to make sure it's the most extensive testing possible. We hire independent consultants to test our films under the most extreme conditions. Instead of swinging a sandbag into a pane of glass from 5 feet, Madico films are subjected to detonations of up to 10 psi - enough to take down most buildings.

Our films meet and surpass more government and international standards than any other films. When you install Madico products, we guarantee you the best the industry has to offer.
