Safety and Security Films For Your Home
Tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, theft and vandalism. All of these events can cause massive damage to our homes, and in many cases, can prove lethal. The addition of our films and our safety Anchoring Restraint Systems dramatically improve security for buildings of all kinds.
What are safety and security films?
Clear multi-layer polyester adhered to a window with strong adhesives designed to withstand large amounts of force to prevent intrusions, prevent damage from natural disasters and vandalism.
Testing
Madico’s Safety Films have been extensively tested by independent testing facilities and meet Safety Glazing criteria as defined by CPSC, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Council and Underwriters Laboratories.
Madico’s Safety & Security systems are specifically engineered and tested to meet stringent federal and state mandated standards, more so than any other manufacturer in the industry.
Madico conducts blast tests that adhere to the protocols outlined by the U.S. General Services Administration’s Standard Test Method for Glazing and Window Systems Subject to Dynamic Overpressure Loadings.
Prevent Break-ins
Windows are, and always have been, the quickest way for people to gain access to someplace they’re not supposed to be. And if they’re going in through a smashed window, it’s usually because time is something they don’t have much of.
Madico’s SafetyShield® stops these intruders in their tracks. When struck, the glass will break, but not shatter, preventing the intruder from entering quickly, and leaving him wondering what to do next. In most cases, the answer is simple: move on. SafetyShield® is among the first films in the world to pass the UL972 standard for Anti-Intrusion – making it the easy choice to help secure your home or business from theft and intrusion.
Storm Protection
Hurricanes and tornadoes can do untold damage to your home. And the first step towards minimizing damage begins with protecting your windows. Madico SafetyShield Window Film is a clear, strong film engineered to bond with glass, creating a barrier that holds the window together in the worst of conditions. SafetyShield films help keep windows from shattering into hundreds of deadly fragments, while helping prevent further damage to your home caused by rushing wind, water and flying debris. Unlike shutters or plywood, window film does not need to be installed each time a storm approaches.
Window film provides passive protection twenty-four hours a day. Laboratory tests show that Madico’s LCL-800-XSR improves the performance of 1/4″ plate glass by 28%, allowing it to withstand >200 MPH winds* (Tested at American Testing Laboratories of South Florida 4/03).
