How Does Anti Shatter Safety Film Protect You?

Welcome to our article where today we are discussing the beneficial elements of fully protecting you, employees and the general public.

As a building, company owner, director or manager it is your responsibility to ensure all aspects of health and safety are covered. Anti shatter safety film helps take these obligations a step further. Today we are providing you with a number of potential scenarios highlighting possible outcomes with and without the addition of safety film.

Scenario 1: Breaking & Entering

This is an unwanted situation and can unfortunately occur in any building. Unwanted intruders will stop at nothing to gain entry into a chosen premises. By making access much more difficult, entry time is delayed. A few seconds could be the difference between perpetrators being caught and not.

Without Safety Film: Criminals have the ability to break glazing with ease, gain entry and remove anything they wish, potentially without being caught.

With Safety Film: Even if an intruder is armed with a sledge hammer, breaking the glass is going to prove extremely difficult. If glass does shatter the next hurdle involves tackling the pieces now held securely in between sheets of safety film. By this point police could well arrive upon the scene.

Scenario 2: Energy Saving

Alongside safety features of protective window film are somewhat fantastic energy savings. With more customers choosing to do business with companies promoting a greener footprint, this can only be a positive.

Without Safety Film: Nothing really changes. Temperatures will remain the same as they always do. Energy will continue to be used and potentially wasted in exactly the same ways. Costs will not reduce.

With Safety Film: Introducing safety window film helps lock in heat keeping buildings at a much more acceptable temperature. When heating is switched off rooms maintain warmth for longer. Window film also acts as a heat control eradicating any hot spots within certain areas. Through controlled temperatures buildings use less energy, in turn reducing energy bills.

Scenario 3: Bomb Blast

A bomb blast is likely an eventuality many would prefer to ignore along with the thinking ‘it will never happen to us’. It probably won’t but where’s the harm in being prepared?

Without Safety Film: We really don’t need to explain the outcome of shattering shards of glass under sheer force.

With Safety Film: Glass is held securely between the sheets of film. Should any shards break free it is going to be with a lot less force.

Anti shatter safety film is the perfect addition to existing glazing whilst creating a further layer of protection and potentially saving companies money.
