PROTECTS AGAINST EXPLOSIONS

With the growing threat and risk of attacks and explosions in densely populated urban environments, the need for advanced security glass in windows, doors and glass partitions is also increasing. In sensitive urban locations, in government buildings, embassies, banks and the like, Hammerglass offers highly effective protection which will not fragment or splinter in a blast. What is more, the whole solution is thinner, and weighs significantly less, than comparable solutions based on normal glass. In addition to explosion protection, the system provides effective barrier protection against break-ins.

Explosion tested safety glass

In a powerful explosion, conventional glass panes will splinter even at a great distance from the explosion, often with serious splinter injuries as a consequence. In properties located in the immediate vicinity of the explosion even splinter-free panes will be forced in, despite being made from toughened or laminated glass. Hammerglass explosion resistant solutions will hold the panes firmly in position even in a powerful explosion.

A series of tests in accordance with EN 13124-2 has been conducted on Hammerglass screens. A number of explosions were carried out, at varying distances from the Hammerglass screen. As a result it was demonstrated that 12 mm Hammerglass screens withstand the pressure wave generated by 3 kg TNT being exploded at a distance of 3 metres.

Unique splinter-free lightweight solution

Explosion protection panels are available in a number of different configurations and thicknesses, depending on the required level of protection. Hammerglass anti-explosion solution, comprising a 12 mm Hammerglass glazing pane mounted in a sturdy steel frame, is compatible with the building façade. The steel frame holds the whole package in place even in a powerful explosion. This splinter-free solution is thinner, and weighs substantially less, than comparable solutions based on normal glass.

Protects both man and property

More and more shops in sensitive urban locations are now opting for Hammerglass in steel profile for their display windows. Our system provides effective barrier protection against break-ins. At the same time it offers explosion protection without the risk of fragmentation and splintering, and considerably higher security for personnel working in the shop. Installation does not cause any visible damage to existing display windows.
