Innovations in the development of safety/security glass now ensures people can be protected from personal injury or in the most extreme cases, buildings can be protected from various forms of attack.
We offer a wide range of sophisticated products that meet the ever-increasing demands, without compromising on the design criteria of natural light and visibility.
What is Safety & Security?
Reducing the risk of accident or protecting against deliberate attack.
- The term “Safety” is applied to glazing used to reduce the risk of accident by impact, fracture, shattering, or in a fire.
- The term “Security” is applied to glazing, which in addition to “Safety”, is able to withstand a variety of deliberate attacks such as manual, ballistic or blast.
Using the right type of glass for security applications is not enough to ensure the necessary resistance to severe loads. Since the glass can behave differently in different framing systems, it is imperative to combine high performance glazing with high quality framing systems to achieve the level of protection required.
