Do Burglars Give Up After 5 Minutes? Effectiveness of Security Film and 3 Recommended Products (CP-Mark Compliant)

“I’m scared of burglars…”
That anxiety might actually be because your windows are being targeted.

Have you ever wondered, “How do burglars usually break in?”
When I looked into it myself, I was surprised to learn that most break-ins happen by smashing a window.

Honestly, before I knew this, I thought “home security” just meant locking the doors properly.
But once a window is broken, locks become meaningless.

To burglars, windows are the weakest point of a home.

 

What is the CP Mark?

To earn the CP Mark, security window film must pass strict break-in resistance tests.

Specifically, the product has to withstand the following three types of attacks:

• Impact attack – struck repeatedly with tools such as a hammer

• Prying attack – forced open using tools like a screwdriver

• Heat attack – exposed to high heat using a burner

Only products that can withstand all three attacks for more than five minutes are awarded the CP Mark.

That five-minute resistance is critical—
it represents the point at which many burglars give up and flee.

In short, the CP Mark is proof that the film provides real, tested delay against forced entry, not just surface-level protection.

In fact, data shows that around 70% of burglars give up if they can’t break in within five minutes.

In other words, if a security film can hold them off for just five minutes,
the risk of becoming a victim drops dramatically.

Those five minutes make a huge difference.

 

What Are the Benefits of Installing Security Window Film?

■ Harder to Break = Harder to Break In!

Even when struck repeatedly with a hammer, the glass doesn’t shatter easily—and the noise gets loud.
This pressure often causes burglars to panic and give up quickly.

---

■ Just Apply to the Window — No Renovation Needed!

Much easier than replacing glass.
Simply applying the film significantly improves security, making it ideal for busy households or homes with elderly residents.

---

■ Prevents Glass from Shattering = Also a Disaster-Prevention Measure

Even if the glass breaks, the film helps hold the fragments together.
This provides peace of mind during typhoons or earthquakes and helps prevent injuries to family members and pets.
