Security and safety glazing
Security glass in Metro Vancouver is laminated glazing or security film that holds in the opening when annealed glass would shard. Spec’d for smash-and-grab and forced entry.
Holds together
Security glass
Security glass in Vancouver is laminated glazing or security film that holds after impact. Thicker annealed glass still shards. Spec the threat, then the product.
01
Laminated vs film
Laminated glass is two lites with an interlayer — the upgrade when you are replacing the pane. Security film is the upgrade when the glass is staying.
02
Smash-and-grab
The point is delay, not invincible glass. We spec interlayer and film so the opening holds long enough to matter.
03
Existing frames
Many storefronts and doors take laminated in the same rebate. Where they do not, film or a frame change is the honest option.
04
Overhead and safety
Laminated is also the right glass over heads — skylights, canopies, and some interior guards — because it holds if it breaks.
Not thicker float
Ordering a thicker piece of annealed glass is not a security upgrade. If it still shards, it still dumps the opening.
Holds together
Laminated glass and film, not just thicker glass.
Annealed glass shards. Laminated glass and security film hold in the opening after impact. We spec the interlayer and film for the threat — smash-and-grab, forced entry, or overhead — and we install it in the existing frame where it fits.
