In the event of a blast, glass will be the first part of your building to fail, releasing lethal shards travelling at speed!
Pentagon Filmtek has worked alongside counter terrorism and blast analysis experts for many years and are able to offer a range of tried and tested high-tensile strength glass containment window film solutions to withstand blast attack, protecting lives and property whilst also reducing injury and enabling businesses to ensure duty of care has been met and business continuity achieved.
In an explosion, 90 percent of injuries are caused by flying glass travelling at speeds of up to 150 mph, rather than the explosion itself. It is vital, therefore, that steps are taken to ensure that glass windows, doors, internal partitions, and roof glazing are all sufficiently protected. Glass particles of any size, even from strengthened windows that are designed to shatter into small pieces, are still unquestionably lethal
To protect staff, visitors and the general public, businesses have a responsibility to ensure that glass can be held together as one piece in the event of an explosion. One of the quickest, easiest and most cost-effective ways to do this is to have high tensile strength window film and all without disruption to your business.
High-tensile strength window film, when combined with one of our anchoring systems provides that all important anchor of retaining the glass if at all possible, to further mitigate the destruction and damage caused. We have a range of tried and tested film and anchoring combinations designed for all types of glazing systems tested to the highest of ISO and GSA standards; and with a team that understands both glazing and film, we are here to help.
If you would like more information with regards to the above, please let us know. We can provide you with full test reports, test video and certification for our full range of Glass Containment Window Films and Blast Mitigation Solutions. We look forward to hearing from you.
