Solar Gard protects from glass injuries during earthquakes

Over 14,000 earthquakes of sizable force have rocked the United States over the past 100 years. Broken glass related injuries are one of the most common hospital treatments after natural disasters.

The twisting or “racking” of buildings during an earthquake creates tremendous stress and compression, imploding unprotected glass windows and doors – sending harmful shards of glass into your environment. Solar Gard Armorcoat window film offers seismic protection, reducing the possibility of injury by helping to hold dangerous shards in place.

When applied, safety window film will contain more than 99% of the area of a panel of glass broken as a result of an earthquake.*

Help keep your family, personnel and property protected and put Solar Gard to work for you.

Check out the impact of a strong blast on a window with and without Solar Gard Safety window film.
