Overview

It is well known that glass fragments are one of the main causes of serious injuries in a blast scenario. Windows are also often the weakest point on a building, allowing criminals to force their way into the building without much resistance.

It is generally believed that the way to protect glass from becoming dangerous flying fragmentation is to install “film” onto the window.

Through extensive analysis and testing GK solutions has recognised that “film” alone does not usually provide adequate protection. There is no doubt that “film” provides a better level of protection than annealed glass alone, but we at GK Solutions are able to offer several solutions that can significantly improve your safety and protection by adding one of our three specialised products to your existing windows.
