Application solutions from Covestro
Application
Safety-hardened entrance for high school
Background
In the wake of recent events, school safety has become a critical topic. Facilities have taken measures to protect the occupants during school hours installing security cameras and locking doors, but there are two areas of weakness, glass doors and windows.
Challenges
Building supervisors need to install security glazing that will provide authorities a window of opportunity to respond in a crisis situation. A specially designed composite sheet that is optically clear, virtually unbreakable and carries a forced entry rating for protection is the solution.
Solution
Tuffak® polycarbonate sheet
• Virtually unbreakable
• Exceptionally durable
• Optically clear
