Safety & Security Window Film & Glass Containments Systems by Solarshield

Solarshield Ltd (UK Window Film Specialists)

Solarshield offer a wide range of safety, security, bomb blas protection window films and glass containment systems. ​

Safety & Security window films are optically clear and retrofitted to existing glass. If glazing is coated with safety and security film and subjected to accidental impact, violent attack, attempted smash and grab, break-in, explosion or spontaneous break, the glass may crack or even shatter but the fragments will be contained by the film, mitigating the risks. 

Safety & Security window films are available in a range of thicknesses providing varying levels of protection. They can also be combined to enhance the performance of glass, providing privacy, solar control and decorative finishes as well as safety and security.​  ​

Prior to installation the existing glass type and glazing configuration must be determined before safety and security films are recommended, specified or installed. We recommend installation is carried out by professional installers to ensure maximum product performance and quality. 

Bomb Blast mitigation films absorb energy from an explosion or impact. The film holds broken glass in place, preventing dangerous shards of glass flying out of the frame. For maximum protection film combined with a glass containment system provides enhanced protection in areas which are particulalry vulnerable.

Bomb Blast mitigation films are available in several thicknesses, choosing the correct thickness is critical. Solarshield's team can recommend which system should be selected for a particular glass type or building and will ensure that the correct film and glass containment system is selected. Films are available in clear, tinted and obscure combinations.​​ 

For the ultimate protection and security we advise that a glass containment system should be installed in conjunction with film. This is an advanced battening system that is designed to maximise the effectiveness of existing filmed glass and frames by preventing the filmed glazing from leaving the frame as and when it breaks. The edge batten traps the film to the frame, reducing the risk in highly vulnerable areas by containing the glass fragments within the frame safely and securely until it can be replaced.

Benefits of Glass Containment System

  • Maximum protection to existing filmed glass
  • Prevent filmed glass from leaving the frame when broken
  • Ideal for overhead glazing and roof atria
  • Can help with stand a more sustained attack

Bomb blast, safety and security films are available in a range of finishes to change the characteristics of glass. Finishes include clear, tinted and obscure combinations to provide privacy, solar control and decorative characteristics.
