Yes. If for any reason you decide that you don’t need the security film anymore, this can definitely be removed. In some cases, it may come off very easily in one piece, but sometimes it may break into smaller pieces. Some glue residue may be left behind, but they can be removed with a razor blade and warm soapy water, or with a special diluting substance. So if you don’t want to scratch or damage your windows, better call a professional, whether you want to remove a film or apply a new one.

While practically you can add multiple layers of film, it is not recommended for many reasons. First of all, the film is made to stick to glass, and not to another film. This will make it come off faster and reduce its lifespan, but it will also affect the warranty of the first layer of film. Besides this, the appearance of the window will also be affected, making it look bad and unprofessional. What you can do is either get a thicker film from the start, or you can apply a layer on the interior and another on the exterior (but never on top of each other).

The recommended thickness for good protection is between 8 and 12 mm. All films will give you protection against shattered glass causing injuries, but the thicker the film, the better the protection against intruders.
