The purpose of bomb-blast window film
It’s important to be aware that no window film or attachment system can completely remove the threat posed by an explosion or bomb-blast, but by matching the correct solution for each situation the security and safety of your building will be improved dramatically. The Window Film Company's fully trained experts can talk you through the correct and most appropriate solution for your exact situation.
Madico Safety Shield Premier Partner
The Window Film Company is authorised to install the world renowned range of Madico blast mitigation and attachment systems.
Window film solutions
The Window Film Company installs a range of specially developed window films for the ultimate in safety and security.
Attachment and restraint systems
These systems combine window film and an anchoring mechanism to deliver the most comprehensive security available.
-
Wet Glaze Anchoring System
This method sees a triangular bead of structural silicone added to the joint between the safety film and the window frame.
-
Gull Wing™ Anchoring System
This system uses a flexible membrane that is attached to both the filmed glass and the window frame.
-
LifeLine™ Anchoring System
Used primarily in factories or industrial locations, the LifeLine system works by applying energy absorbing cords across the window. These cords catch the filmed glass in the event of a blast, preventing it from entering the building and causing damage.
-
FrameGard™ Anchoring System
A mechanical attachment system that clamps the filmed glass to the window frame, keeping the glass within the frame in the event of an explosion.
Attachment and restraint systems: your options
Whilst window film will provide an extra layer of valuable protection, applying the film in conjunction with an attachment system will deliver the most comprehensive security available. Such systems work by anchoring the window film to the window frame so that in the event of an explosion, the system holds both the film and the window in place, mitigating the potential impact of the blast.
