Safety film considerations

Armorcoat 8mil & 14mil Safety Film

Safety film may help retain broken glass in a tested glazing assembly. Performance depends on the glass, film, frame and attachment system. Request the applicable test report and installation specification; film does not make glass unbreakable.

Impact and blast demonstration videos

Supplied film demonstration footage. Confirm the product, glazing assembly and relevant test report before using any result in a project specification.

Sledgehammer impact demonstration

Saint-Gobain Armorcoat Multi-Ply Membrane

This demonstration shows glass under repeated impact. The outcome applies to the assembly shown; ask for the associated test report before specifying a safety-film system.

Blast demonstration

Supplied glazing demonstration

This demonstration shows a glazing assembly exposed to a blast. Building protection requires a qualified assessment of the complete glazing and attachment system.

Third-Party Verified EPD for LEED & BREEAM Ratings

The downloadable Environmental Product Declaration is S-P-06660, issued 12 April 2023, with a stated validity date of 11 April 2028 subject to continued registration. It covers the internal solar films and clear safety films up to 4 mil listed in the document. It is product documentation, not certification of Fianco or a guarantee of building credits.

LEED and BREEAM outcomes depend on the applicable scheme, eligible products and the whole project assessment. Review the declaration with the project assessor.

  • LEED: energy and comfort outcomes require a building-level assessment.
  • Product documentation: confirm that the selected film is included in the EPD scope.
  • BREEAM: the project assessor determines compliance with the applicable scheme.
