Are you a security firm looking for high-quality security glass? Explore your options in our glass guide.
Las empresas de seguridad ofrecen protección contra daños intencionales. Por lo tanto, necesitan materiales que cumplan con esta función. Aquí es donde entran en juego los diferentes tipos de vidrio de seguridad.
El vidrio de seguridad se fabrica para brindar protección contra balas, bombas y bandidos (según el producto). Las versiones de alta calidad logran este nivel de protección sin sacrificar la claridad óptica ni la ligereza.
Se utiliza para fabricar ventanas, puertas, escaparates, armarios y más en lugares donde se requiere mayor seguridad contra ataques intencionados. Esto incluye (entre otros) bancos, joyerías, hospitales, instalaciones gubernamentales y vehículos blindados.
What is security glass made of?
Security glass is typically made out of laminated glass. This is a type of safety glass (not security glass) made from at least two layers of glass. These sheets of glass are bonded around a plastic interlayer. The interlayer can be coloured or textured.
El vidrio laminado puede soportar mucha fuerza. Cuando finalmente se rompe, se agrieta formando una telaraña y permanece en su marco. Esto lo distingue del vidrio templado (otro tipo de vidrio de seguridad), que se rompe en muchos pedazos pequeños.
Laminated security glass can be
fire-rated. In the case of our fire-rated glass, this incorporates a gel between the outer panes. If a fire breaks out, the gel expands and acts as a barrier against the heat and flames. This gives people longer to evacuate and the emergency services longer to arrive.
Security glass is an especially robust form of laminated glass. To qualify as security glass, it has to pass certain tests and be manufactured in line with BS EN standards.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre vidrio de seguridad y vidrio de protección?
El vidrio de seguridad está diseñado para resistir daños accidentales. Sin embargo, el vidrio de seguridad está diseñado para resistir ataques deliberados, ya sea de un bandido, una bala o una bomba.
Acerca de nuestra gama de vidrio de seguridad
At ToughGlaze, we provide a range of security glass products that provide effective protection against deliberate attack.
Cada producto cumple con las normas BS EN pertinentes y cuenta con el sello de calidad Kitemark. Podemos cortar y procesar estos productos para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de su proyecto.
TG SECURE, for instance, is tested to European standards for security against manual attacks. To qualify as security glass, it has to withstand simulated attacks from hammers, axes and balls.
Meanwhile,
TG BOMB BLAST meets ISO 16933:2007. It's built to withstand bomb blasts while remaining lightweight and clear.
On top of this, all our security glass products can undergo further processing. They can be
mesh-laminated or
digitally printed with a company logo or other design.
They can also be fire-rated. This provides added protection against fire, smoke and heat. Our
fire-rated glass is tested to BS EN 12150:2015 and can withstand fire and smoke for up to 120 minutes.
Finally, our security glass can be
soundproofed to help reduce noise in a building or vehicle.
