Shatterproof glass windows: resistance without neglecting transparency

13/07/2022

 

One of the fears, or even prejudices, that those unfamiliar with our products may have when it comes to shatterproof glass windows concerns transparency.

The general belief is that a window capable of resisting external attacks must necessarily be “dark” and offer poor visibility to those within a building, train or any other place requiring utmost protection. Allow us to reveal the many qualities of our shatterproof glass, in which safety goes hand in hand with transparency.

 

The undisputed star of jewellers, banks and museums

 

Anyone requiring shatterproof glass windows knows that our first-rate products meet every requirement in terms of resistance, transparency and beauty.

OmniLite® is Isoclima’s innovative solution to prevent even repeated break-ins, ensuring utmost protection and minimising the dangers deriving from external attacks and more besides. Furthermore, double-glazed shatterproof glass guarantees optimal levels of thermal and acoustic insulation.

The benefits of OmniLite® include clean and sharp visibility, with no visual disturbances, as well as unrivalled lightness.

How do we make it? With multilayer technology, consisting of external glass sheets and a central polycarbonate one. Depending on the type of protection required, we create various stratified panels to meet different levels of safety.

We also create this useful, practical and customisable product for private buildings, working to special specifications alongside nationally and internationally renowned architects and window manufacturers.

 

What to do when a pane of shatterproof glass breaks

 

Does this mean that OmniLite® is indestructible? No, but shatterproof glass windows made with OmniLite® are produced following scientific applications designed to protect people.

In the event of breakage, OmniLite® does not shatter thanks to a special film containing polycarbonate.

When one of our safety glass panes breaks, there are no splinters that can harm people. The film keeps the structure together, and this "yields" en bloc rather than creating hundreds of dangerous fragments.

OmniLite® is also the go-to choose for the security portals of banks, and is selected by window manufacturers for its ease of installation, also in special security windows requiring high levels of glass protection (shatterproof).
