Safety and Security Window Film from ADS Window Films

The comprehensive range of safety and security films available protect your building's glazing against accidental impact, violent attack, smash-and-grab break in attempts and explosions or spontaneous breaks.

In the unfortunate event of any of the above incidents occurring, the glass is likely to shatter and will more than likely cause shards of flying glass, as well as leaving very dangerous jagged edges within the window itself. This will increase the likelihood of injury to personnel or the public, damage to the building's fabric or fittings (with up to 80% of this type of damage attributed to the effects of flying glass) and make it far easier for potential thieves to enter into your building.

The application of a safety or security film may still mean that the glass may break or shatter but it will be contained by the window film itself, thus holding the glass in place, giving the potential to prevent injury, protect property and, in extreme cases, save lives. The window film will also act as a post-impact barrier to frustrate the break-in attempts of the opportunist burglar, thus deterring unwelcome visitors.

Compliance with glass safety legislation

Current legislation stipulates that glazing in all non-domestic premises that is deemed to be in a critical location should be made of a safety material. Typically this means to approximately waist height (of an average adult) in all windows and shoulder height in or adjacent to doors.

Failure to comply may result in prosecution in the event of an accident, as well as the obvious likelihood of serious injury to the general public or your employees.

The option of re-glazing all critical locations with laminated or toughened glass will prove to be a very expensive, as well as disruptive operation.

Alternatively, the application of a fully tested Safety Film to the glazing will ensure compliance with the regulations as well as offering the following additional benefits:

• Less expensive with every pane correctly marked
• Existing glazing upgraded in-situ without the disruption of a full reglaze
• Scratch resistant surface to glazing with a factory backed warranty
• Additional Solar Control to reduce heat gain/loss, glare and fading
• Reduces the risk of injury from falling through glass or from flying shards of glass

Bomb Blast Protection

With the ever increasing threat of global terrorism, in the event of an explosion, glazing is especially vulnerable. The application of a bomb blast or security film helps to absorb energy from an explosion, holds the broken glass fragments in place thus preventing injury to personnel, the general public and property.

Anti-Graffiti Protection

Vandalism is more than just a nuisance and eyesore, it's also a huge financial drain to public and private budgets. The cost of repeatedly replacing windows and glass that has been scratched up or marked with spray-paint can end up being prohibitive, not to mention time consuming and disruptive.

Anti-Graffiti window film protection is designed to be an easy replaceable sacrificial layer for the windows in the commercial and retail marketplace. When vandals do strike, it won't be permanent. The window stays put, and just the film is replaced, at a fraction of the cost.
