Worried about your shop safety and security?

Street demonstrations such as those we have experienced recently around the world can unfortunately degenerate and lead to shops being targeted and shop windows broken. A nightmare for shop owners who face a double negative business impact — by merchandise being stolen and business coming to a halt until a new window is installed.

Against the threat of vandalism and theft, it is important to protect your shops at all times with laminated safety glass made with EVERLAM™ PVB interlayer.

Protect linkedin_banners July2020_Brillantly copyA PVB film is an extremely strong and adhesive material that is laminated between two or more panels of glass. Any attempt at breaking a laminated glass window with a tool such as a bat, a hammer or a stone will be met with strong resistance. During impact, the PVB interlayer inside the glass acts as a strong barrier that remains in place, holds the shattered glass fragments together and reduces the likelihood of intrusion.

 

The window stays in place to protect the shop, its content and people while replacement is organised. Business can go on.

  • At impact, the PVB interlayer inside the glass absorbs the energy from a shock through impressive elongation (up to 250% longer).
  • In case of glass breakage, the shattered glass fragments stick to the PVB film, which reduces the risk of cutting injuries.
  • In the right configuration, it provides security against vandalism, burglary, fire arm attack or explosion.
  • It reduces sound transmission in noisy environments.
  • It blocks UV transmittance and protects people and objects from potentially damaging rays.
  • It complies with the Florida building code for high-velocity hurricane zone applications.
