ᐅ Bullet-resistant glass?

It’s strange:
Although people in Central Europe live today in times of unprecedented safety and protection, the fear of burglary and violence is growing.

Strange, everyone involved in this discussion assumes the question is about burglary protection, even though only impact-resistant glass was asked about.

I don’t work “at the source,” meaning I’m not a burglar, but I provide services related to our security and order. So, broken glass is almost exclusively vandalism in public buildings; criminals who want to get gold or cash from an apartment or house use other methods.
That’s why I asked the original poster for clarification, because the question didn’t seem clear to me.

More often, an intruder enters unnoticed through an open patio door while someone is briefly busy in the garage.

I’d prefer a keyless solution that doesn’t compromise security.
For me, doors and windows are meant to be opened, and when closed, they should provide security.
I would never consider building my house with intentional weak points or making it easy to break into.
But everyone has their own approach.

Of course, I haven’t installed any intentional weak spots, and there are small measures here and there. Losing keys or other emergencies happen more often than break-ins—at least in our case. As someone already mentioned, all these measures don’t just keep burglars out.

I briefly looked into suitable glass options but quickly dismissed them. We have insurance, vigilant neighbors, and break-ins are uncommon in our area.

Maybe I just lack imagination, but what other reason could there possibly be for the question?

If someone breaks the glass, it has to be replaced—whether the shards end up on the floor or stuck in the film doesn’t make a difference. If it was even my own kids who caused the damage, in the end it just costs me extra money.

If someone breaks the window for me,

Exactly that – without any break-in involved. Back then it was the soccer ball, today maybe the step ladder, the neighbor’s son, or an accident. I find it quite excessive to prepare for something that happens very rarely and may already be covered by insurance. But I seem to recall that the original poster is always good for filling the summer slump.

As someone already mentioned, by implementing all security measures, you not only keep burglars out.

This is the issue with any security system: if you "overdo" it, the risk of locking yourself out also increases – in other words, the likelihood that someone installs a personal security bypass. Then the burglar only has to guess whether the spare key is hidden under the doormat or beneath the flower pot.

...or you leave the key with a neighbor, under the cushion in the basket where the large Great Dane sleeps...
