Is safety film the same as hurricane protection?
No.
Safety film is a thick, clear film that helps hold glass together if it breaks. I put it on sliders, sidelights, French doors and ground-floor windows. It won't make glass unbreakable and I won't tell you it's hurricane-rated, but it does help keep the pieces from going everywhere.
I install the film myself. I use SunTek film, backed by Eastman. Commercial installs have a 10-year warranty.
For privacy glass, see my decorative and privacy window film page.

No.
