Why Bomb Blast Film Is Needed In Public Spaces And Government Buildings
Bomb blast film on a building in Denver may seem a bit extreme but here at Greenlight not nearly as much so when you look at trends around the world that point towards the need for such measures. In this day and age, there are two definitive reasons why bomb blast security film makes sense for nearly any building in Denver public or private. But First, what is bomb blast film? And how does it work?
Bomb Blast Security Film Explained
Bomb blast security film, or any security film for that matter, uses high tech window films laminated to glass with cutting-edge adhesives and secured with specialty window attachments. These films range in thicknesses, from 100 micrometer (or 4 mils minimum 2 ply) through to 525 micrometers + (21 mils) depending on the desired level of protection. The level of protection you need is dependent on what you are protecting your building from. Below we address two of the most common reasons for security film–one natural, one man-made.
Bomb Blast Film For Protection Against Terrorism
Terrorism is at an all-time high in the world and you really cannot be too prepared. Soft targets are no virtually everywhere and terrorist strike with wonton ease. Because of this, any public space and especially Denver government buildings need to be prepared for the worst case scenario with bomb blast film. The correct combination of film, adhesives (like C-bond) and attachment frames can stop many magnitudes of bomb and keep collateral damage to a minimum
Bomb Blast Film For Protection From Natural Disaster
The weather in the 21st century thus far has been full of natural disasters more potent than we have seen in the past. The reason bomb blast film makes sense to protect public or government building here in Denver from these natural disasters of rising intensity and frequency is because–during most natural disasters from hurricanes to hail and from earthquakes to tornados flying glass is the most prevalent cause of injury/trauma. However, bomb blast window film when applied correctly and with the correct adhesives will contain these shards of glass, protecting the buildings interior and most importantly bystanders from being struck and hurt/killed.
