Security Films & Anchoring (Attachment) Systems....
GlassLock offer two different types of anchoring systems: a
mechanical
system that uses extruded aluminum batten for attaching the security film to
the window frame, a structural adhesive system.
Often
fragment retention film / security film is applied directly to the surface
of a window to reduce glass fragments and to increase the overall
performance
of the glass. Anchoring to the frames helps keep the glass shards and
security film in the window opening (depending on the size of device /
blast) and significantly reduces glass hazard due to those events.

Mechanical Systems...
The film is anchored there with an aggressive transfer adhesive. The
base-plate is bolted to the window frame, mechanically securing the film and
glass in place.
A cosmetic cap (anodized or painted to match the
frame) is installed to cover the screws, base-plate and film, and a vinyl
gasket is added to provide a clean sharp appearance. The finished
installation becomes part of the window system and is virtually invisible to
building occupants

Structural Adhesive Systems
With the structural adhesive system the gaskets on the existing window unit
are removed or cut to allow adhesive to extrude into the frames' rebate. The
FRF is applied to the glass and allowed to dry. Next, a black architectural
structural hardening adhesive is applied over the film, over the existing
frame, and into the frame rebate.
Note; Every installation
configuration is specific to the requirements of the site.
