Hinder Smash and Grab Burglaries
A burglar can smash through your windows and steal your valuables like; computers, tools, jewelry, confidential business information,… all within a matter of minutes.

GLASS-GARD is a clear “safety/security film” that when applied to the inside surface of glass, can help keep glass fragments together on the surface of the film while the glass remains in the frame.

This results in varying degrees of safety and security depending on what construction of film chosen for the job as well as type of glass and frame.

Very often a necessary component in the installation of safety/security film is additional framing support around perimeter of the frame.

How GLASS-GARD Works
GLASS-GARD works by having the film’s super aggressive patented adhesive form a molecular bond to the glass and hold it together, even after multiple impacts. While the glass may break or crack, it remains adhered to the film and in most cases will still be intact in its frame.

The tensile strength, coupled with GLASS-GARD’s elasticity and resistance to shear aids in the ability of eliminating the chance of objects penetrating the glass and film.

Use GLASS-GARD with Alarms
When GLASS-GARD is used in conjunction with certain alarms, the alarm is triggered with the first impact in which the glass breaks yet access is still denied. Repeated attempts create more noise and take more time before access is gained.

Since most smash and grabs take place in mere minutes the resultant time delay and noise factor is generally sufficient to scare off most would be thieves in favor of easier targets.

Protection During Disasters
One of the major causes of injury is human to glass impact. GLASS-GARD safety film decreases and virtually eliminates injury of this type.

Human to glass encompasses direct impacts such as falling into or walking through a pane of glass as well as flying glass due to explosions and natural catastrophes.

GLASS-GARD is fast becoming the tool of choice for earthquake, tornado and hurricane preparedness.

Other Benefits of GLASS-GARD
