Owl Vision Solutions assesses existing windows before confirming a residential security film installation in Markham and the GTA. Glass type, condition, frame access and attachment suitability affect the work. Measurements and photos help prepare a discussion, but do not replace that assessment.
Existing glass still needs to be checked
Do not assume every window accepts the same film. Identify the glazing type and any damage or previous seal failure. Tell the installer about existing film and any known window warranty. The proposal should match the intended product to the actual panes.
Some combinations need approval or cannot be used
Madico’s warranty document lists application restrictions and pre-approval requirements. Examples include particular large panes and laminated glass; chipped or cracked glass and certain multi-pane units are prohibited. These examples are not a complete compatibility list. The product and glazing need to be checked before installation.
Prepare the room and discuss access
Send photos showing the whole window and frame, including blinds, furniture and anything that may restrict access. Ask what should be moved before the crew arrives and which rooms will be needed. If someone works from home, agree on the access sequence rather than assuming every room remains available throughout.
How long will it take?
The amount of glass alone does not set the schedule. Discuss access, preparation, the attachment detail and whether a return visit is needed. We do not publish a same-day or fixed-duration promise for every project.
Installation and curing are different milestones
Madico advises at least 30 days before cleaning, and notes that safety film can take months to cure fully. Do not puncture curing bubbles. Follow the written aftercare instructions and contact the installer if you are concerned. Glass temperature also affects whether installation can proceed.
