Glass Security

The Issue

 

Glass - potentially the weakest link and quickest route into your building.

 

The weakest part of a building structure is the glazing. It provides an immediate point of entry for break-ins or a focus for vandalism. Shattered glass causes disruption and distress and there are significant financial implications and loss of business during clear up

 

Standard glazing is not designed to resist vandalism or forced entry burglary, nor severe windstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes and their consequent wind-borne debris. These events expose people to both scattered and flying glass.

 

 

The Solution

 

Glass containment film

 

Pentagon International can provide an immediate and cost-effective solution to the vulnerability of your glazing and the consequent loss of security. The application of glass containment film from the Pentagon International range will significantly reduce the vulnerability of glass without reducing the benefits of clear glazing.

 

Tested to BS EN12600 Impact test, Pentagon's range of glass containment security film is designed to absorb and stretch under attack - bonding any broken glass to the film.

When applied to existing glazing it forms a barrier that delays penetration of your glass making it difficult to gain easy and immediate access. With 'smash and grab' thefts accounting for a large percentage of commercial criminality, if the 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 film can also be combined with solar-control, providing you with both safety AND solar protection.

 

For enhanced security protection, take a look at our Pentagon International Anchoring Systems. Tested to the highest of ISO and GSA Standards, glass containment and anchoring has been proven to provide optimum levels of protection.
