Professional protection from a proven partnership

Solar Gard in partnership with Filmshield UK Limited

Bomb blasts can cause huge amounts of damage to buildings, both inside and out. According to Home Office figures, 90 per cent of all injuries in such events are caused by flying glass, which can travel at a lethal 40 metres per second. In addition, shattered glazing allows blast overpressure to enter the building, threatening the safety of those inside and creating collateral damage.

It is important to specify high performing products and ensure they are installed with expertise and care.

Today, Solar Gard, through continuous improvement, the company offers more than 100 different varieties of window film, many engineered to enhance existing glazing to prevent the effects of flying glass in the event of an explosion.

Filmshield is a Main Dealer partner to Solar Gard. As well as being experts on Solar Gard’s range of window film products, the Filmshield team is able to provide a fully comprehensive service in order to provide you with the correct solution for your requirement, including, among other things:

Local coverage

With offices in London, Manchester and Newcastle and representatives across the country, Filmshield is able to provide local knowledge and a responsive service.

Legislation and recommendations advice

The Home Office document, Bombs Protecting People & Property, suggests ‘Polyester film at least 175 microns thick should be used.’ Filmshield can provide Solar Gard products which exceed these requirements – and as a Solar Gard Main Dealer can provide documentation and advice along with EN12600 impact test certificates and advice on other relevant UK and international standards.

Bespoke solutions

With many retro fit applications (Solar Gard window films are adhered to your existing glazing unit), what is right in one area may not be appropriate for another. Filmshield has a thorough knowledge of legislation, Solar Gard products and a wealth of application expertise to advise fully comprehensive solutions particular to your building’s individual need.

Professional manufacturer backed installation

Filmshield carries out all Solar Gard window film installation work with its own team of trained and experienced installers.

As a Main Dealer partner, all Filmshield/Solar Gard installations are backed by a Solar Gard warranty covering 100 per cent of materials and labour.

These films can reduce solar heat gain and glare by up to 80 per cent. A wide variety is available including new innovation Prestige. Until now solar control films have been synonymous with highly metallic, reflective building facades. The Prestige range contains no metal, allowing natural light to flood into your building, while removing undesirable elements from the sun’s rays: heat, glare, UV and infrared.
