Security glazing with Saflex™ PVB interlayers — a clear defense against modern threats

Schools and universities today prioritize security more than ever. With the possibility of threats such as forced entry, ballistics and blasts, it’s important to be prepared for the unexpected.

As architects and designers, you want to integrate safety and security features into your designs. That's where Saflex PVB interlayers for laminated glass comes in.

Security glazing with Saflex™ PVB interlayers offers advanced solutions that can help protect students and teachers while still allowing natural light. Unlike monolithic glass, laminated glazing with Saflex™ interlayers reduces the risk of injury by adhering to the interlayer after impact, even impact from bullets. This not only protects the building envelope but also acts as a critical line of defense, deterring potential attackers and allowing staff and students more time to react and seek safety.

Creating a comfortable and conducive learning environment is important to students and staff, and aesthetics play a role in achieving this. Saflex PVB interlayers offer an ideal solution by acting as an invisible shield, providing continuous protection against unexpected threats without compromising the building's design or look. Saflex interlayers can also be combined with Vanceva™ color PVB interlayers to create safe and colorful architectural design.

Key benefits of security glazing with Saflex PVB interlayers:

• Create an invisible shield: Provide around-the-clock protection that can effectively slow down or stop intruders.
• Meet forced-entry testing standards: Saflex interlayers in different configurations meet multiple forced-entry standards for security, providing architects with a proven and reliable security solution.
• Maintain clear aesthetics: Design with aesthetics in mind, seamlessly integrating security features into your designs without compromising the visual appeal of the space.
• Design with more freedom: Saflex and Vanceva color interlayers can be combined in a variety of applications — giving you the opportunity to achieve structural support, acoustic and solar control, UV and storm protection, and beautiful aesthetics.

Design with peace of mind.
