We live on the first floor in London, and recently there have been minor incidents of window damage during strong winds. We want to improve the security of our home without installing bulky bars that block the view and make the rooms dark. What modern solutions are there to protect the glass, preserve light, and still feel safe?

I ordered film from https://www.tintfit.com/shop/safety-security, and it's a great solution for safety. It strengthens the glass, making it impact and shatter resistant, and prevents shards from flying in the event of an accidental impact. The rooms remain bright and modern, without losing natural light. Now my family feels calm, especially when we leave the house for a few days or during bad weather. The film also helps protect furniture and textiles from damage.
