Safety Single Glazing with Film

What is Safety Film for Single Glazing?

Safety film is a durable, transparent polyester layer applied directly to glass to reinforce it. Once adhered, the film prevents glass from shattering into dangerous shards upon impact, holding the fragments together to reduce potential injury and damage. This makes it an ideal solution for properties with existing single glazing that require an added level of safety and security.

How Does Safety Film Work?

  • Absorbs and Distributes Impact: The film absorbs force from accidental impacts or breakage, spreading the energy across the glass to reduce the risk of full shattering.
  • Holds Glass in Place: If the glass does break, the film keeps it intact, preventing sharp, dangerous fragments from scattering.
  • Enhances Strength: Safety film improves the structural integrity of standard glass, making it more resistant to break-ins and accidental damage.

Why Choose Safety Film for Single Glazing?

Single glazing is often vulnerable to breakage, making it a safety risk in homes, schools, offices, and public buildings. Our safety film provides a cost-effective and efficient way to reinforce existing glass without needing expensive window replacements.

Benefits of Safety Film for Single Glazing

Single glazing can be vulnerable, especially in high-traffic areas, workplaces, and public buildings. Safety film offers an effective way to reinforce glass while maintaining its original appearance.

Enhanced Strength & Shatter Resistance

Safety film significantly reduces the risk of injury from shattered glass by keeping the broken pieces intact. This is particularly beneficial in areas with children, workplaces, and retail spaces where glass breakage could pose a serious hazard.

Improved Security Against Break-Ins

Windows and doors with single glazing are common entry points for burglars. Safety film adds layer of protection against forced entry, making it harder for intruders to gain access by delaying break-in attempts.

Cost-Effective Safety Solution

Replacing single glazing with laminated or toughened glass can be costly. Applying safety film is a budget-friendly alternative that achieves similar protective results without needing full window replacements.

Compliance with Safety Regulations

Many buildings require compliance with British Safety Standards (BS 6206 & BS EN 12600) for glass safety. Safety film ensures that your existing glass meets these regulations without needing structural changes.

UV Protection & Energy Efficiency

High-quality safety films can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting interior furnishings, flooring, and displays from fading. Some variants also offer thermal insulation benefits, reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency.

Our team at Ipswich Glass ensures a seamless process, assessing each property to recommend the best safety glazing film solution tailored to your needs.

Applications of Safety Film for Single Glazing

Safety film is widely used in different types of properties for added protection and peace of mind.

Residential Homes

  • Prevent injuries from accidental glass breakage.
  • Protect children and pets from sharp glass shards.
  • Strengthen older single-glazed windows without replacing them.

Commercial & Retail Spaces

  • Reduce risks of vandalism and break-ins.
  • Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
  • Improve security for display windows and glass partitions.

Schools, Nurseries & Public Buildings

  • Enhance safety in areas frequented by children and the public.
  • Meet legal requirements for shatter-resistant glass.
  • Reduce liability risks in case of glass breakage.

Office Buildings & Industrial Facilities

  • Increase security for glass doors and partitions.
  • Provide extra protection in high-risk environments.
  • Ensure compliance with workplace safety standards.

Safety Glass Regulations & Compliance

Glass safety is a legal requirement in certain buildings and workplaces, particularly in high-traffic areas. Many older buildings with single glazing may not comply with modern safety standards, putting occupants at risk. Applying safety film helps meet:

  • BS 6206 (Specification for Impact Performance)
  • BS EN 12600 (Pendulum Impact Test for Flat Glass)

Ensuring compliance reduces liability risks and improves safety in both residential and commercial properties.

We work closely with homeowners, businesses, and property managers to ensure compliance with building regulations in Ipswich and surrounding areas. Whether you need to meet workplace safety requirements or enhance the security of your home, our solutions provide peace of mind.
