Bomb blast window film, also known as blast mitigation film or anti-shatter security film, is a specialist film applied to glazing to help reduce the dangers associated with flying glass.
During an explosion, glass fragments can pose a serious risk to people inside buildings. Blast mitigation film is designed to help hold broken glass together, reducing the potential for dangerous fragments to scatter.
It can be applied to suitable existing glazing, offering a potential retrofit solution for organisations looking to improve their building's protective security without necessarily replacing all their windows.
The level of protection depends on the film specification, the existing glazing, the window framing and the installation method. Specialist assessment is important to determine the suitability of a particular solution.
How can bomb blast window film support your security plans?
Where glazing is identified as a potential vulnerability, specialist window film may provide several benefits.
Reduce the risk from flying glass: Specialist film can help retain shattered glass and reduce the potential for fragments to enter occupied areas during a blast.
Improve existing glazing: Suitable film systems can offer a retrofit option for existing windows where complete glazing replacement may not be practical.
Maintain natural light: Clear film options can help preserve visibility and natural light without significantly changing the appearance of your premises.
Support a wider protective security strategy: Where appropriate, glazing mitigation can be considered alongside emergency procedures, access controls and other measures identified through a security assessment.
