Anchoring Systems

 

Glass is fragile and every one of us vulnerable to its effects. Safety film alone may not provide the level of protection required, especially in the event of a high-velocity blast such as a bomb or indeed as protection against forced entry burglary.

 

As leading experts in the development and testing of glass containment and anchoring solutions, Pentagon International has a range of anchoring systems and edge-retention profiles that will ensure the best of protection within a glazed environment utilising clear film to ensure continued high visibility.

 

These edge-retention profiles can be fitted to existing compliant filmed glazing as an upgrade.

 

As recognised world leaders in this field of expertise, Pentagon International, has also provided many clients with tailor-made bespoke anchoring systems designed specifically to provide a total glass containment solution.

 

Pentagon Elite flexible anchoring

 

A flexible edge-retention profile designed as a retro-fit upgrade solution to existing compliant safety filmed glazing or as a system of enhanced glass protection when applied with Pentagon's FT800 multi-ply glass containment film.

 

Applied directly to the window frame, the Elite profile is ideal for adapting to virtually any type of window frame profile. The Pentagon system of FT800 and Elite Flexible Anchoring edge-retention profile has been successfully tested to the latest ISO 16933 Glass in Building Explosion Resistant Security Glazing Test.

 

Pentagon Select metal anchoring

 

Designed to match the finish of metal framed systems and available in a range of different profiles and colours to blend with the design of existing window and door frames. The Pentagon system of FT800 and our Rigid Anchoring edge-retention profile has been successfully tested to the latest ISO 16933 Glass in Building Explosion Resistant Security Glazing Test.

 

Pentagon bolted anchoring system

 

The Pentagon Bolted Anchoring System once again is designed to provide enhanced glass containment for bolted glazing systems and has been successfully tested and proven to provide protection from a high velocity blast attack and protection against unforeseeable failure due to nickel-sulphide inclusions.

 

Bespoke systems are available. In order to ensure the integrity of your glazing system ismaintained, simply call our team of experts todiscuss your requirements and the solutions available.
