Armouring Ordinary Glass

[Monique Bosch]

Many houses today have security structures (gates and various forms of internal and external burglar bars) that are easily broken and expose homes to anyone walking past, including criminals. These security structures are also not the most attractive means of protection and often give home owners the feeling of imprisonment or felling trapped. Windows that do not open are now convenient targets and points of entry for blatant thieves if not properly protected. So many home owners have resorted to "trellidoor" protection across entire windows areas. Panoramic views are very often compromised in order to provide sufficient security, particularly in high-risk areas.

By upgrading and armouring ordinary glass panes (in doors and windows) with GSS to protective shields that not only ensures effective protection but which are also aesthetically pleasing - one receives piece of mind and a "good-looking," safe living or working environment.

Glass Strengthening System is a high-tech invisible barrier that is UV and intruder resistant, energy efficient and provides state of the art protection against theft and attack. GSS-treated glass is strengthened up to 400% so that even when there is enough force to break the glass, it remains in the frame - making it virtually impenetrable. Even through multiple hits, required in order to completely destroy the intregrity of the glass pane, GSS buys value time to escape, get help or raise an alarm. The unsuspecting thief/attacker will most likely flee the scene when immediate entry is not achieved.

GSS offers a lifetime warranty on all installations - not to fade, discolour, peel, bubble, crack, ripple or delaminate because of the use of the highest quality film adhesives (not latex glue), patented cleaning-mounting-bonding solution (not baby shampoo or dishwashing liquid) and accredited installers. GSS also boasts the highest adhesive rating and the fastest curring time in the security film industry and offer 10x more protection than the nearest competitors.

Various levels of protection are available - from high impact safety glass to intruder and ballistic armouring of residential, commercial and automotive glass. Solar protection and increased privacy is also offered with various tinting options. Energy efficiency for "green" buildings (GSR) and safety compliance in old buildings requiring renovation, are additional benefits as GSS can be retrofitted to existing glass.
