Safety and Security Films
There are times when the world is a dangerous place. Hurricanes, tornadoes, severe winds, bomb blasts and even earthquakes can cause glass to shatter and send shards flying. During these disasters Safety and Security Window Films help keep flying glass from harming inhabitants.
Our new safety and security film is a tough, durable, tear and penetration-resistant shield that bonds to the inside of your windows for protection. The film helps hold the glass together to dramatically reduce the chance of glass shards from falling or flying out even under direct forces from winds or impacts from flying objects or breaking and entering.

Earthquakes, is a natural disaster that can happen at any time. Some disasters give warning like a storm preceding a flood, others like earthquakes give no warning.
In the event of an earthquake or explosion, a buildings Achilles heel is typically its glazed surfaces. Shattered into razor sharp fragments and propelled at high speeds, windows and door glass can cause severe injury to the building’s occupants. In addition, shattered glazing allows blast over pressure to enter the building. This, too, poses a serious threat to the life safety of those inside. Thankfully, extensive testing has proven that the threat of injury due to flying glass can be greatly reduced with the use of blast retention window films.

Glass with Security Film
Glass without Security Film
In a series of six tests, windows with various combinations of film and attachment systems were subjected to blasts equivalent to 500 pounds of TNT. ARA’s test report concluded that 8mil film products tested provided significant reduction in glass fragment hazards when compared to unprotected windows. The report also concluded that both the aluminum batten and wet glazed sealant - two of the attachment systems tested - provided an adequate attachment of the films to typical aluminum frames. Most important, the report concluded the majority of configurations tested qualify for GSA Level C buildings and several qualify for Level D buildings, meeting "high" to "very high" protection levels.
