DID YOU KNOW?

When violent acts, natural disasters, vandalism or accidents shatter your building’s windows, flying glass can be responsible for most of the damage, injuries and deaths that occur. And the truth is, much of the destruction resulting from these lethal shards can be controlled-even prevented- in corporate and retail buildings, restaurants, hotels, and homes, with safety and security films. Now, there’s a simple way to enhance your facility immeasurably, adding security, energy efficiency, UV protection-even deterring graffiti vandals. All with safety and security film.

AN INVISIBLE FORCE OF PROTECTION
Safety and Security films are made with layers of polyester film bonded by special adhesives. Easily installed to the interior of new glass or existing glass, the film forms an almost invisible shield that holds glass shards intact when a pane breaks. This can effectively reduce flying glass-related injuries that can result from everything from a hurricane or earthquake tremor to a terrorist attack. Various levels of film protection are available to address various hazard levels. These products have been used to bring annealed glass up to current building code standards, which can be more cost effective than replacing the unit with tempered glass. Physical properties and testing data available.

KEEP OUT HARMFUL UV RAYS
LLumar solar version is impregnated with UV absorbers that block up to 99 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays-dangerous perpetrators that can fade and deteriorate fabrics, furnishings, and displays. It can even block excessive glare that can distort retail displays or impede office productivity.

ENHANCE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Safety films also contain high performance metals that enhance heat rejection properties. As a result, films can help you upgrade energy efficiency by reducing incoming solar energy up to 79 percent. It can even enhance the overall comfort of your building by eliminating hot and cold spots and reducing annoying sun glare.

 
DETER VANDALS   
Special formulations are available to help prevent graffiti vandals from effectively defacing your facility’s surfaces, so you can avoid costly glass replacements at your facility. Locally, these anti-graffiti products have been installed on many businesses in the downtown areas of Monterey, Santa Cruz and Carmel, such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, The Gap, Urban Outfitters, Borders Books, and Regal Cinemas Santa Cruz 9. Businesses also rely on these products to deter “smash and grab” thieves-who rely on fast access through shattered windows to commit their crime, such as jewelry retailers, art galleries and businesses with expensive computer equipment.
