Make Break-Ins More Difficult!
Splintered, flying glass is one of the dangerous consequences of, both natural and man-made, disasters. Vista films are specifically designed to hold broken glass in place, lessening the chance of injury and property damage. It also makes forced entry more difficult for would-be vandals and burglars, which is especially important for retail establishments.

Edgelock Attachment System
When events such as vandalism or bomb blasts cause glass to break, the films flexible construction and pressure-sensitive mounting adhesive help hold the shards on the film. This reduces the potential for personal injury and property damage. Safety film is also referred to as anti-shatter film, glass fragment retention film, blast mitigation film and Mylar. The Window Film Specialists provides a number of different attachment systems.Edgelock Attachment System: This method used for enhanced glass retention secures the safety film to the window frame with a structure sealant, silicone adhesive (similar to caulking). The safety film is first installed to the glass as a daylight installation and then secured to the frame with a structural sealant - Dow 995 is one of the products commonly used. Sealant is applied around all four edges of the film, overlapping the film and touching the frame to create a bond between the film and frame. This method is also referred to as a chemical attachment system.
Testing Safety/Security Films
Vista believes the most important aspect of their business is in the testing of their products, and they go to lengths to make sure it's the most extensive testing possible. They hire independent consultants to test their films under the most extreme conditions. Instead of swinging a sandbag into a pane of glass from 5 feet, Vista films are subjected to detonations of up to 10 psi - enough to take down most buildings. Vista films meet and surpass more government and international standards than any other films. When you install any of Vista products, we guarantee you the best the industry has to offer. In coastal areas, such as ours, the potential for glass breakage during storms is particularly high. Vista Security Films are an excellent, invisible choice for improving security, because they seal out wind and water even when the glass is broken.
