KEI Security Laminates is
standing guard right now. Safeguarding buildings and homes from
threat risks such as vandalism, break and enter crimes, severe
weather storms, civil riots and even terrorism.
All of our Security Laminates
block 99% of the suns harmful ultraviolet rays, thus preventing
colors from fading i.e. shutters, drapes, carpets, furniture and
paintings. Our tinted laminates will reject up to 76 % of solar
energy in the summer while its Low E (emissive) insulating
properties will radiate room heat back into a room preventing
its loss through the glass in the winter.
When considering purchasing a
security laminate to safeguard your home, auto or commercial
needs, please research and insist the company meets these
standards.
1.
It’s a security laminate and not just a safety film. No
safety film can meet burglar resistance standards or blast
capabilities.
2.
Insist on a non-drying, non-hardening adhesive of at least a
9-mil thickness for security laminate. If the adhesive
hardens and dries over time it will lose its elasticity
causing the laminate to delaminate and bubble as it will not
expand and contract with the glass.
3.
Insist on UV inhibitors with an absorption rate of at least
99 percent. Insist that the absorption be in the adhesive
used throughout the laminate; not just between the glass and
laminate.
4.
They should have a minimum visual light transmission of 92
percent.
5.
Only a single sided interior application should be required
to pass the testing requirements of ULC-S332-93 standard for
burglary resistance.
6.
Insist on laminates with surface hardeners for durability of
the application.
7.
Security Laminates should be chemical resistant i.e.
sulfuric acid, acetones, ammonia, chlorine bleach to name a
few.
8.
As installation techniques are key to a quality application,
be certain that installers are factory certified and
professionally trained in security laminate application.
9.
Be sure the company has a manufacturer warranty and not just
a dealer warranty.
