As crime rates are on the rise, natural disasters are becoming more frequent, and accidents more common, increasingly more Australians are looking for ways to protect their assets from these unfortunate events. Gone are the days of fitting steel bars to deter thieves or boarding up your windows when a storm is coming. Now a simple, Clear Safety & Security Film is all that is needed.
Criminal protection
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, almost 5 out of every 100 Australian households experienced a break-in or attempted break-in, and a further 4.6% of households experienced malicious property damage in 2020 alone. This equates to over 400,000 burglary attempts in a single year, which is worrying high. (ABS, 2020) Criminals know that the glass on buildings is the weakest point and an easy target, but what they don’t know is that our Clear Safety & Security Film, once installed, can withstand a force of up to 85kg worth of pressure without imploding, which is greater than a man wielding a baseball bat and hitting the glass at full power (see video below).
This Safety and Security Window Film test shows how an armed intruder’s attempt to gain access through an entryway was delayed.
Natural Disasters
Due to global warming and climate change, Australia’s natural disasters are becoming more frequent and unpredictable, threatening our possessions and loved ones. “Batten down the hatches” will be a phrase you will never hear again after protecting your windows with our Clear Safety & Security Film, increasing the integrity of your windows to withstand extreme conditions.
Accidents
Accidents happen, from a lawn mower flicking up stones to a child kicking a football. These can easily result in broken windows. Our Clear Safety & Security Film works by adding an extra layer of protection, increasing the additional break strength of the window to over 40kg per cm.
Overall, tempered glass is much stronger than standard glass. However, it is more susceptible to exploding spontaneously due to the impurities in its structure. When this happens, due to any of the unfortunate events listed above, it can create a very dangerous situation, with sharp shards of glass flying in all directions. Our Safety & Security Film binds the glass together so that this doesn’t happen if the glass breaks, protecting the people around the windows along with your assets and possessions.
Our Clear Safety & Security Film is suitable for all building codes and insurance policies that often demand glazing to meet certain safety standards, such as impact-resistant glass in schools, break-ins or blast protection for retail locations.
