Safety and Security Window Film
All residential films are backed by a lifetime warranty from 3M™ Canada. Up to 10 years for commercial applications.
-
While all other major manufacturers offer commercial product warranties up to 10 years, the 3M window film warranty goes the extra step of also covering labour for both removal and replacement of laminate for the full ten years should there be any problems with the installation. There are many variables that define a ‘quality’ installation including laminate selection, trimming, and frame bonding.
As an authorized 3M™ dealer, Windsor Window Imaging offers certified professional installations, giving our customers the peace of mind and warranties for their investment.

Protecting what’s important at Home and at Work.

In 2012, more than 15 billion dollars were lost because of property-related crimes.
