Unprotected glass can lead to catastrophic injuries and damage. Every piece of glass is susceptible to the forces of nature whether it arrives from inclement weather or everyday use. Today, all film manufacturers provide warranties on their window film products as well as Seal Failure and Glass Breakage. Call Solar Energy Control today for a free window film quote (763) 354-2838.
These films can be used to enhance the shatter resistance of glass and hold glass together when broken. Safety products have been tested to meet various safety glazing criteria which may be required by building code or other regulations or simply by the specific needs of the customer. Details and specifications are available in the supporting documents of this product line.
Safety & Security Window Film
We live in a far from perfect world. Whether it’s man or nature, destructive forces are all around us. For over 30 years, window film manufacturers have been engineering products to increase protection against everything from criminal acts, to catastrophic events.
Hurricanes. Earthquakes. Chemical explosions. Bomb blasts. Theft. Vandalism. All of these events can cause massive damage to our homes and businesses, and in many cases, can prove lethal. The addition of Safety Films dramatically improves security for buildings of all kinds.
Madico is, and always has been, the pioneer and world leader in the development of window protection systems. Where most manufacturers test for minimum code requirements, Madico’s SafetyShield films meet or exceed the requirements of more US and international standards for safety and security than anyone.
No matter where you are, or what your window protection needs are, Solar Energy Control has the safety window film products to fit them.
| UPGRADE WINDOWS TO ANSI CODE:
Bring any new or old glass units up to ANSI Code by adding safety film. Whether for business or residential, building remodeling often requires existing or new windows be ANSI approved for specific locations. Solar Energy Control can install safety film for windows that are required to meet ANSI Code, including the window label documentation.

UNPROTECTED GLASS:
PROTECTED GLASS:
Madico Graffiti-Free
Graffiti vandals cost American retailers more than $600 million annually in replacement costs associated with scratched glass. Solar Energy Control has the answer – Graffiti-Free security window film. It is perfect for storefront windows, display and restroom mirrors, glass and polycarbonate displays, glass elevators & escalator railings, and bus shelters.
Graffiti-Free is a 2-ply, 6-ml., laminated film designed to protect both glass and polycarbonates. Anti-graffiti films act as a sacrificial barrier to protect glass from etching and high-traffic wear. After such abuse takes place, it can easily be removed and reinstalled rather than replacing the expensive glass.
Safety Glazing
In buildings where the government mandates tempered glass, safety films can bring buildings up to requirements at costs far below than that of replacing existing windows.
Madico’s Safety Films have been extensively tested by independent testing facilities and meet Safety Glazing criteria as defined by CPSC, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Council and Underwriters Laboratories.
SafetyShield and Blast Protection
The powerful blast from a bomb can cause immeasurable destruction. It would seem that windows shattering would be the least of it, but a single square foot of glass can produce up to 200 deadly, razor-sharp fragments. Flying glass shards are what many times causes severe injury, and even death.
Safety & Security attachment systems are specifically engineered and tested to meet stringent federal and state mandated standards, more so than any other manufacturer in the industry.
SafetyShield film products are tested and adhere to the protocols outlined by the U.S. General Services Administration’s Standard Test Method for Glazing and Window Systems Subject to Dynamic Overpressure Loadings.
Solar Energy Control has three different glazing system solutions – FrameGard, WetGlaze, and LifeLine – each with its own level of performance. These systems are in place at some of the most highly protected buildings in the world.
Solar Energy Control has three different levels of Safety & Security products.

Petro-Chemical When working with flammable chemicals, there is always the risk of an explosion, and every plant or refinery is required to have a plan in place to minimize loss of life. SafetyShield® Safety & Security systems should be a key part of any safety plan. SafetyShield® prevents glass from shattering in high-powered internal and external explosions, which would propel thousands of sharp fragments at high speeds, potentially causing additional serious injuries and fatalities. With four Anchoring Restraint Systems to choose from, Solar Energy Control has the solution that’s right for your facility.
Anti-Intrusion
Windows are, and always have been, the quickest way for people to gain access to someplace they’re not supposed to be. And if they’re going in through a smashed window, it’s usually because time is something they don’t have much of.
SafetyShield® 1500 stops these intruders in their tracks. When struck, the glass will break, but not shatter, preventing the intruder from entering quickly, and leaving him wondering what to do next. In most cases, the answer is simple: move on. SafetyShield® 1500 is among the first films in the world to pass the UL972 standard for Anti-Intrusion – making it the easy choice to help secure your home or business from theft and intrusion.
