CARBINS / GLAZING SAFETY PLANNING
Safety Window Film
A considered layer for existing glass.
Explore CARBINS safety window film for architectural glazing. Define the glass, frame and project requirement before comparing a suitable film and attachment approach.
THE SURFACE / THE FINISH
Safety begins with the complete glazing system.
Safety film is selected around a defined glazing requirement. The film, glass, frame and any attachment system work as a combination, so a film name or thickness alone is not a complete specification.
Some safety-film systems are intended to help hold fragments together when glass breaks. The actual behaviour and any rated performance must be supported by evidence for the specified system. Ask for documentation that matches your project.
EXPLORE THE APPLICATION
Three areas to consider.
A considered layer for existing glass.
Occupied glazed areas
Discuss the particular glass concern, nearby activity and the performance requirement with the project team.
Existing building upgrades
Prepare a glazing schedule and review the practical limits of the existing glass and framing.
A PLAN BEFORE APPLICATION
Bring the details
into focus.
Prepare the project, compare the selected film and agree the fitting details.
- 01
Define the requirement
Describe the safety objective and ask the project’s qualified adviser which test evidence or rating is required.
- 02
Assess glass and framing
Provide glazing construction, dimensions, frame details and available manufacturer information.
- 03
Specify the system
Review the selected film, attachment method, supporting test documentation and installation requirements together.
YOUR HOME & OFFICE QUESTIONS
A little clarity
before you choose.
Useful answers, from the surface to the selected film.
Does film make glass unbreakable?
No. Film does not make glass unbreakable. Any fragment retention or other performance depends on the complete specified system and the conditions of use.
Can I choose safety film by thickness alone?
Thickness is only one detail. Glass, framing, attachment and supporting test evidence also matter. Ask for a system specification that matches the project requirement.
Does this replace a required safety-glass assessment?
A project with a safety or regulatory requirement needs assessment by a qualified professional. Confirm the applicable requirement and evidence before relying on a film system.
What should I send to CARBINS?
Share the location, glazing schedule, glass and frame details, photos and the defined performance requirement. Ask for the current product documentation and installation guidance.
