Safety glass
The issue:
Glass must meet recognised glazing safety standards
Glass is very much taken for granted in our society today and the fact of exactly how vulnerable and lethal it can become is sometimes overlooked.
Standard window glazing offers no protection whatsoever from injury and if broken, either by accident or intent, it can become extremely dangerous - suddenly turning our light and comfortable, safe and secure environment into a place of extreme danger!
Is your glazing safe? Does it comply with glazing safety standards and regulations? If unsure, check here for more information.
- Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
- BS EN12600 Glass in Building – Pendulum test – Impact test method and classification for flat glass.

The solution:
Clear safety window film
An immediate and cost-effective solution to upgrade existing glazing and provide peace of mind, is the retro-fit application of a high quality clear safety film from Pentagon Protection. Available in a choice of thicknesses to provide the safety or security level required.
When professionally installed, Safety film forms an almost invisible protective coating on the glass surface bonded by its extremely aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive system resulting in any broken glass remaining adhered to the film.
The application of Safety Film can be improved to provide an even higher degree of protection with the addition of one of Pentagon Protection's edge retention profiles as an enhanced anchoring system.
Solar Security Film offers significant solar heat and UV control in addition to the standard protection benefits of Pentagon's clear Safety Film offering a 3-in-1 type of product for Safety protection, solar heat control and UV radiation and fade control.
