It Works Like Sunscreen for Your Home
Increased comfort begins the instant that Tint Wizardwindow film is installed. The impressive solar control properties dramatically soften the effects of direct sunlight, providing a much more pleasant atmosphere, in your home.
You don’t have to worry about strong glare, washed out television screens and uncomfortable hot spots in your home. Best of all, home temperatures are easier to regulate and maintain, and that results in energy savings and lower air conditioning bills.
Tint Wizard window film is fitted to the inside of the existing glass and is virtually maintenance free.
Security Film
Made in the USA, ArmorGard Safety and Security films are incredibly tough and are relied upon throughout the world to protect lives and property from shattered glass.
ArmorGard Safety and Security films are the result of years of research, development and field testing under the most stringent conditions.
Manufactured to meet the high standards demanded by government authorities and industry alike, the range of ArmorGard Safety and Security films has been developed to suit a variety of applications.
Furthermore, ArmorGard Safety and Security products are continually being subjected to various tests by leading independent research organisations in the USA and Europe.
ArmorGard Safety and Security films meet Grade A status for Australian New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2208 - 1978 Safety Glazing Materials for Use in Buildings (Human Impact Considerations).
This ensures durability, and because they also reject 99% U.V. light ArmorGard Safety and Security films protect curtains, furniture, carpets and valuable retail stock from fading.
Performance Under Pressure
An impact test was devised by the James Cook Cyclone Testing Station at Townsville, Queensland, to simulate the effect of flying debris during a severe tropical cyclone.
Although the glass was shattered by the impact, the safety film kept the glass fragments intact and in the window frame.
High Impact Human Safety
Glass doors, floor to ceiling windows, and glass walls are a feature of many modern homes and buildings.
Such architectural highlights however, can be potentially hazardous - particularly to children running, playing or riding bikes.
In human impact situations our film retains shattered glass to minimise cutting and piercing injuries.
The Ultimate Test of Strength
While most homes and business will never be subjected to anything as extreme as a bomb blast, the following tests underline the phenomenal inherent strength of ArmorGard Safety and Security film.
ArmorGard Safety and Security films have been tested at the Bomb Data Centre by the Australian Federal Police.
Using 6mm float glass without ArmorGard Safety and Security film, the explosion caused the glass to shatter and travel with such force that any persons in the vicinity would probably have received fatal injuries, and property damage would be enormous.
The same explosion test carried out with ArmorGard Security film fitted demonstrated an impressive result as the glass was completely retained in the window frame with no possible chance of injury or damage to property
Staying Cool Under Fire
When fire breaks out inside a home or office it relies on increasing amounts of oxygen to sustain its growth.
However, when ArmorGard Safety and Security film is applied to ordinary glass the risk of shattering is greatly reduced, thereby minimising fire damage.
ArmorGard clear 100 Micron Safety and Security film was tested by the C.S.I.R.O. to Australian Standard 1530.3 - 1996 Early Fire Hazard Properties of Materials.
The outcome showed that the damage and danger from a fire was enormously reduced with ArmorGard Safety and Security film protected glass versus unprotected glass.
Protection Around the Clock
Our Safety and Security film fitted to plate glass shop windows makes rapid smash and grab theft unlikely. It normally requires several hard hammer blows to crack the glass, and several more to produce an opening large enough to reach through, or permit entry.
Tinted ArmorGard Safety and Security Films
We also offer sputter-coated Safety and Security films which, in addition to protecting your home or business, give the added benefits of solar control films -stopping up to 75% of the sun's solar energy.
That means your home or office will stay cooler and you'll save money on expensive energy bills.
