Safety and Security Films
Our range of safety and security films can help you, your children, your pets, your employees and your customers remain safe…..
 The name says it all – Armorcoat is a thick, optically clear barrier film that is retrofitted to the inside of windows to reinforce glass, helping to hold it safely in place upon impact should an attempted break-in, natural disaster or bomb blast occur. Armorcoat safety film is made from only the highest quality materials, such as tough, high tensile polyester and ultra-strong mounting adhesives – available in thickness ranging from 4 to 14 Mil (.004” to .014”) and offered in clear and solar control versions. Plus, stronger glass resilience can be achieved with attachment system options. Reflecta will help you select the right level of protection for your property from our wide variety of thickness, tints and performance levels.
Armorcoat has passed some of the most stringent government and consumer testing to provide effective hurricane window protection, blast mitigation and overall window safety. Also properly referred to as glass fragment retention, anti-shatter film and Mylar, Armorcoat is the preferred window protection product among home and business owners and property manager worldwide.
Home Protection
The most common type of protection requested in the home is where children or pets have access to large panes of glass such as patio doors and French windows. Armorcoat is a simple low cost solution easily fitted to vulnerable areas.
Breaking and entering is the other concern of the home owner. Armorcoat is again the quickest and most cost effective solution to stall a thief.
Installing Armorcoat will also give the added benefit of protecting your furnishings from UV damage and shaded options are available for further glare control or privacy.
Business Protection
All forms of businesses, public buildings, schools, hospitals, museums and stores face a variety of health and safety requirements as well as security concerns.
Nearly all areas of glazing used in the workplace are required to conform to certain safety standards. Armorcoat window film is used extensively and is often nowadays requested by architects, planners and safety audits.
Clear Armorcoat can give excellent intruder protection while also almost eliminating UV damage and being optically clear, so is an excellent choice for store front windows and museums where good visibility is required.
Vehicle Protection
All vehicles can benefit from the installation of Armorcoat to provide better protection from shards of glass in event of an accident or to deter a thief tying to break in. Clear Armorcoat can even be installed on the front windows to give all round protection.
The main differences between Safety and Security Films as opposed to Solar Films are as follows:
-
Increased strength and resistance from breakage and puncture
-
Safety and Security films are coated with a thicker pressure sensitive material and contain stronger adhesives. This provides greater elasticity and a gives 'shock-absorbing’ qualities
-
Tough, resilient Armorcoat safety and security window films are composed of incredibly strong, optical quality polyester and high-grade ultraviolet inhibitors and special laminating and mounting adhesives, with a protective, scratch-resistant coating
Safety Films are an economical and widely used film that meets BS6206: 1981 classes AB & C. The film is used in Critical Locations as incorporated into the Document `N` Building Regulations 1991, BS 6262, Part 4, Safety and Human Impact.
Site applications include schools, homes, older buildings, shop fronts, offices and situations where old glass need not be changed, but can be brought up to current legislation with film application.
Security Films are more difficult to penetrate and normally thicker, used in areas vulnerable to attack. Meets the extra criteria for BS5544 parts 1, 2 and 3, as well as the BS 6206.
