Safety and security window films

Natural disaster or accidental breaks will litter the space with dangerous shards of glass. Even safety glass will splatter diamond shaped pieces of glass throughout the floor. Safety film is designed to hold onto the pieces of broken glass and keep them within the window frame. A thick bead of silicone along the film edge and frame will greatly decrease window fallout from the frame. Safety film will keep glass shards away from occupants.

Blast mitigation film is made to hold broken shards together while stretching as a blast wave passes, then rebound back during the negative phase of the blast. Glass fragments are the leading cause of injury and death during a terrorist attack. Storefronts near federal buildings and popular attractions may want to look into this type of safety precaution.

Note: A thick bead of structural silicone adhesive is required along the film edge and frame to act as a bridge to better anchor the glass from leaving the frame during an attack.

Anti-intrusion film surprises burglars by forcing them to use more aggressive break-in tactics to shatter the glass. In the mean time, the alarm sensor (glass breakage sensor) has triggered the alarm before the glass is even broken. Hopefully, this delay helps the police response.

This same window film technology is being used at schools to help slow down active shooters. Broken shards of glass being held in place by anti-intrusion window film inhibits access through the window frame while hindering the ability to sight targets through the shards. Retarding shooter progress through the building allows teachers, students, and the authorities time to respond to the threat.
