High velocity wind protection

The issue:

High-speed wind-borne flying debris

With high winds, hurricanes, severe wind storms and natural weather disasters affecting us throughout the world today, protecting ourselves against wind-borne flying debris should be considered part of your business continuity planning or simply a duty of care!

The intense winds and atmospheric pressures of a severe wind storm produce continuous and uneven knocking against glass for long periods of time. This, combined with flying debris, will cause standard glazing to break, and similar to the effects of a bomb blast, will expose your building, personnel, contents and even your business continuity to these destructive elements.

Relative to its size, the UK actually experiences the world's highest frequency of tornadoes with an average of 33 tornadoes each year.

The solution:

Retro-fit clear glass containment film.

Similarly effective in blast mitigation and attack, Pentagon Protection anti-shatter safety film provides immediate and cost-effective protection against high speed winds and flying debris.

Designed to withstand high wind loads, glass containment film performs well against the 'push' and 'pull' type of pressure-loading caused by these variable high-speed wind loads. However, the constant back and forth movement also exerts tremendous pressure on the framing system and this is where the expertise of Pentagon and their range of anchoring profiles can help to provide enhanced protection.

As an immediate and cost effective retro-fit solution it mitigates high-speed wind damage and destruction, loss of business continuity, personal distress, and rising insurance costs to a minimum.
