Plan your Markham assessment
A Markham assessment starts with your priorities: resistance at reachable glass, fortification of an existing door, or a separate privacy concern in a particular room. Describe each goal so the written quote identifies the work intended to address it.
What the assessment covers
- List the front, side and rear windows and doors you want reviewed, including patio glass where present. We inspect the selected glass and frames to understand their condition.
- For a home office or street-facing room, explain when and where privacy is needed. Privacy appearance and security-film performance are separate product questions.
- For door fortification, show us the existing door, hardware and sensors. Note any property-management instructions or restrictions on visible changes.
What the products can do
Security film helps hold broken glass together and can add resistance to forced entry. The glass can still break. Results depend on the glass, frame, film, attachment and installation; no fixed entry delay or prevention guarantee applies. ARX Guard door fortification is assessed for the existing door assembly.
Before work is scheduled
Your free on-site assessment leads to a written quote identifying the proposed windows and doors, film and attachment scope, preparation and access requirements. Discuss any existing damage, coatings, hardware or sensors. Confirm property approvals and the agreed scope before arranging installation; timing depends on that scope.
Frequently asked
Planning your Markham project
Still have questions? Call (416) 907‑6900 or start a chat, and we'll answer honestly.
Q.01Can I discuss privacy film during a security assessment in Markham?
Describe the room and the privacy goal when booking. We can review the intended applications separately. A privacy finish alone does not establish security performance; the quote should identify the product and purpose for each selected pane.
Q.02What if my property is in Unionville or another heritage district?
Check the City’s district map and contact Heritage staff about your property and proposed changes. Share any requirements with us so appearance and attachment details can be considered before quoting.
Q.03Does security film make a window unbreakable?
No. Security film helps retain broken glass and can add resistance. Performance depends on the assessed glass, frame, film and attachment. It does not guarantee that entry will be prevented or establish a fixed delay.
Q.04How is the film selected for my windows?
We review the glass type, existing coatings, frame condition and manufacturer compatibility requirements. The film and application side are selected for the assessed installation. Appearance and attachment details are discussed before quoting.
