Madico Safety & Security Window Films help reduce the risk of personal injury, property damage and loss caused by natural disaster and crime. Available in a wide range of tint, style and grades, our films are specially designed to deter everything from the high winds of hurricanes to the costly eyesore of graffiti. And we back every one of our enduring film solutions with a manufacturer’s warranty that is second to none.
Anchoring Restraint Systems
Madico is a world leader in the development of window films and anchoring restraint systems designed to increase glass and window safety. Our efforts, over the last three decades, have led to the creation of the SafetyShield™ Safety & Security Systems. These systems consist of a Madico SafetyShield® window film working in concert with any one of three anchoring restraint systems; FrameGard, GullWing, WetGlaze, and LifeLine.
The SafetyShield® Safety & Security Systems have been designed and tested to meet or surpass more government and international safety standards than any other products in the industry. Whether your threat is Bomb Blast, Natural Disasters or Intrusion, Madico has a system designed to address your needs.
In order to insure the proper implementation of these systems, Madico has created a SafetyShield® Network of trained professionals that will evaluate your specific threat and offer the best possible solution.
SafetyShield® FrameGard™ System
FrameGard has been specifically engineered to keep the filmed glass within the frame during an event. The primary advantage of this system is during installation the film is wrapped behind the FrameGard, which is then attached to the window frame with screws. This system also utilizes a rubber gasket attached to the FrameGard, decreasing the shearing effect along the perimeter of the window. These are major advantages over the other systems. This system also allows engineers to precisely determine torque settings for each individual application, which can then be tested after the installation. Another advantage of this system is that it can be reused in most cases, where only the glass has been damaged.
SafetyShield® GullWing™ System
The principle of the GullWing System is to maintain the structure of the fragmented glass with the application of film and then to stabilize the glass within the window frame during the event. This is accomplished by attaching the filmed glass to the window frame with a reinforced polymer extrusion bonded to the frame and film with either a multi surface tape or structural silicone. The strength of this bond helps to hold the shattered glass within the window frame throughout the event dramatically decreasing the risk of injury from the shattered glass. The performance of this system lends itself for use in higher risk Blast, Hurricane or Anti-Intrusion applications.
SafetyShield® WetGlaze System
The SafetyShield® WetGlaze System utilizes Dow Corning 995 Structural Silicone to create a bond that connects the filmed glass to the existing window frame. During a natural or manmade disaster, the WetGlaze System is designed to maintain the structure of the shattered glass while the Dow Corning 995 reduces the shearing effect along the edges of the window frame.
This system may be specified for use in Blast Mitigation, Hurricane Protection and Anti-Intrusion applications.
SafetyShield® LifeLine™ System
The SafetyShield® LifeLine System employs synthetic cords that span the width of a filmed window. The system is designed to arrest the inward travel of the filmed glass after it has sheared at the edges during the positive phase of a blast. The cords used in this system are designed to elongate or stretch in order to absorb this energy until the negative phase pulls the shattered glass from the structure, therefore reducing the risk of injury to the occupants of the building. The design of this system also lends itself to retrofit applications where there is an existing film application.
The SafetyShield® LifeLine System is primarily specified for use in Blast Mitigation applications.
Natural Disaster Protection
During hurricanes, when high-powered winds are allowed to enter a structure, they can collapse it from the inside. By preventing the glass from shattering, Madico's Protekt film not only prevents potential physical harm, but also keeps winds from rushing inside and doing serious structural damage. And during an earthquake, Protekt holds glass together under the most extreme conditions, minimizing injury to those nearby, both inside and out.
It's convenient, permanent, and most importantly, a more effective alternative to boarding or taping your windows.
Graffiti-Free
Vandalism is more than just a nuisance and eyesore, it's also a huge financial drain to public and private budgets. The cost of repeatedly replacing windows and glass that has been scratched up or marked with spray-paint can end up being prohibitive, not to mention time consuming and disruptive.
Graffiti-Free is Madico's window coating for the commercial and retail marketplace. When vandals do strike, it won't be permanent. The window stays put, and just the film is replaced, at a fraction of the cost.
Safety Glazing
In buildings where the government mandates tempered glass, Madico films can bring buildings up to requirements at costs far below than that of replacing existing windows.
Madico's Safety Films have been extensively tested by independent testing facilities and meet Safety Glazing criteria as defined by CPSC the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Council. and Underwriters Laboratories.
