Are Guardian Safety and Security films, bullet proof, burglar proof and bomb/explosion proof?
No, they are designed to make the window glass more shatter resistant.
1. Safety and Security films were originally developed due to the international concerns and needs from improved safety and security against terrorist acts of bombings. These films can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury from flying shards of glass due to blast, however, much depends upon the severity of the blast and the proximity of the window glass to the blast (and glass type, framing system, and more). Our films are not bullet proof.
2. Guardian Safety and Security films are a low-profile, high performance measure of security in the battle against 'smash and grab' crime, the tough, shatter-resistant qualities of the film can hold the window glass together even if a brick (or similar object) were actually to pass through the glass. The thief must now make a choice; continue to attack this window, try another window, or move on. Time is short, and often they move on. However, if they are determined to gain entry, they will get in; even through a brick wall.
3. Guardian Safety films protect adults and children from the potentially lethal effects of accidental impact into non safety glazing and conform to EN12600.
4. In the event of extreme weather conditions, these films may have significant safety and security value. They can reduce the risk of injury from flying shards of broken glass, and possibly help prevent debris and water penetration through the window depending on the severity of the weather (and the type of glass, framing system, size and velocity of objects, and more)
