Glass security
The Issue:
Break-ins through windows.
The weakest part of a building structure is the glazing, providing an immediate point of entry for any opportunist break-in, forced entry burglary or vandal. This causes untold mess, disruption and distress with all of the financial and loss implications involved, not to mention insurance claims and clear up.
Standard glazing was not designed to resist vandalism or forced entry burglary, or indeed other 'unpredictable forces of nature' such as severe windstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes.
With all of these events comes further exposure of people to the vulnerability of flying and scattered glass.
The solution:
Glass containment film.
Pentagon Protection can provide an immediate and cost-effective solution to the vulnerability of your glazing and the consequent loss of security. The application of a multi-ply, high tensile strength clear glass containment film from the Pentagon Protection range will significantly reduce the vulnerability of your glazing without destroying the benefits of visibility. Security need not mean unsightly. Pentagon Protection high-tensile strength film brings security without unsightly bars or shutters.
Tested to BS EN12600 Impact test, Pentagon's range of glass containment security film is designed to absorb and stretch under attack - bonding broken glass to the film.
Glass containment security film when applied to existing glazing forms a barrier that delays penetration of your glass making it difficult to gain easy and immediate access. The success or not of forced entry burglary depends very much upon speed. If the offending burglar is met with a degree of resistance due to the presence of Pentagon's glass containment security film, the individual will usually quickly give up and move on.
The benefits of Pentagon's glass containment security film can also be combined with the benefits of solar-control, providing you with both safety AND solar protection.
For enhanced security protection, take a look at our Pentagon Protection Anchoring Systems. Tested to the highest of ISO and GSA Standards, glass containment and anchoring could prove vital and has proven to provide a high degree of glass protection.
