Safety/Security Units
Safety/Security
Anti-bandit – Secure by design – Blast resistant.
Our insulating glass unit incorporating Safety and Security is known as Pilkington Insulight™ Protect.
For safety combined with security without compromising levels of natural daylight, we offer a choice of glass. Pilkington toughened safety glass is subjected to a heating and cooling process, which creates high compressive surface stresses to make it up to five times stronger than ordinary annealed float glass of the same thickness.
Pilkington
Optilam™ is produced by combining two or more sheets of glass with PVB interlayers, and it is this lamination that enables it to offer impact protection and security. By varying the number of layers and thickness of the glass, increased levels of security can be obtained.
Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass Benefits:
- Up to 5 times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness.
- Breaks into small pieces to reduce risk of serious injury.
- Up to Class 1(C)1 to BS EN 12600.
