Glass That Stays Put When It Breaks

Text 05

Glass is usually the weakest part of a building, and in Utah it faces both the everyday risk of a break-in and the less frequent one of a serious earthquake. K-Shield is Kepler's clear 8 mil safety and security film, fitted to the room side of the glass you already have, where it helps hold the broken pieces together when a pane is struck so the opening stays covered.

Glazing is one part of a building to assess when planning protection against forced entry. With K-Shield behind it the pane still breaks, but the film helps hold the pieces together, so an intruder can be left working at a pane that does not simply drop out of the frame. A quick way in becomes a slower, noisier job. How a filmed window behaves depends on the glass, the frame and how the film is attached, so any resistance to entry depends on the complete system and is not guaranteed.

Alarms Tell You It Happened. Film Slows It Down.

Text 09

An alarm reports a break-in and a camera records it. Neither does anything to the window itself. K-Shield works at the glass, helping hold a broken pane together so there is more time for the alarm, and whoever answers it, to do its job.

K-Shield asks nothing of you once it is on. There is no arming, no battery and nothing to remember at closing time, just a clear film doing the same job at three in the morning as it does at noon. Kepler backs it with a 10-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in the film.

The Film Behind the Glass

Text 15

K-Shield is fitted to the room side of your existing glass, so nothing about the window changes from the street. Kepler publishes it at 88% visible light transmittance, which is close to invisible, and at 99% UV rejection, taking out one of the causes of fading in stock, signage and flooring. What it is really there for is the moment the glass breaks.

K-Shield: Kepler's 8 Mil Safety & Security Film

Text 18

Ordinary window tinting is chosen for heat, glare or privacy, and it is thin because it has no other job. K-Shield is built for one thing: keeping broken glass where it is. Kepler makes it in a single 8 mil construction, clear enough at 88% visible light transmittance that most people never notice it, and covers it with a 10-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in the film. Kepler lists it as a fit for storefronts, schools and offices, which covers most Utah buildings where a lot of glass sits between the street and everything you care about.

Where K-Shield Earns Its Keep in Utah

Text 51

Utah is hard on glass in two quite different ways. Break-ins are the everyday one, and a shop or office window is usually the quickest way in. The other sits under your feet: the Utah Geological Survey puts the chance of a magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquake on the Wasatch Front at 57% over the next 50 years, and Utah's official guidance is to move away from windows and glass partitions because they can break. K-Shield answers both the same way, by helping to keep broken glass in the frame.

Kepler lists schools among the buildings K-Shield is made for, and the reason is the glass: entrance sidelights, corridor screens and classroom windows are the quickest way into a locked building. Holding a broken pane together will not stop someone determined, but it turns one blow into sustained, noisy work, and time is what a lockdown procedure runs on. The same film keeps fragments out of the room if a pane goes during an earthquake.

Someone at a window is working against the clock. Plain glass gives way in a strike or two and leaves a clear opening; glass with K-Shield behind it breaks but tends to stay in one piece, stuck to the film. Getting through then means going back at it again and again, in public and making noise, which is the sort of attention a break-in cannot afford. Be clear about what film is and is not, though: K-Shield slows entry down. It is not glazing, and no film makes a window impossible to get through.

Utah's largest population centers sit right beside the active segments of the Wasatch fault zone, where the Utah Geological Survey puts the odds of a magnitude 6.75 or greater earthquake at 43% over the next 50 years. Its advice for the shaking is blunt: move away from windows and glass partitions, because they can break. Modern buildings, it notes, can still take significant non-structural damage including broken glass. K-Shield does not make a building earthquake-safe. It does mean glass held to a film instead of glass across the floor.

A storefront is mostly glass, and it is the part of the business a thief looks at first. K-Shield helps keep that glass in its frame when it is hit, so a smash-and-grab turns into a long, loud job at the window with the stock still behind it. It changes nothing about how your display looks from the pavement.

See what protecting your Utah storefront would come to by starting a quick quote for K-Shield security film.

Utah offices tend to open with a wall of glass: full-height entrance screens, sidelights and glazed doors at street level. Those panes are the most exposed thing on the building and among the most expensive to make good. K-Shield helps keep a struck pane in one piece so the entrance stays closed until the glass can be replaced, and at 88% visible light transmittance the lobby still looks the way it was drawn.

Public buildings carry two problems at once: heavy footfall behind the glass and a duty of care to everyone inside. City offices, courthouses and libraries are glazed for daylight, which leaves a lot of surface that can go at one time. K-Shield keeps the fragments attached to the film, so a broken pane is a repair rather than an evacuation. Have the glazing surveyed pane by pane first, because what a window needs depends on its glass, its frame and where it sits.

Straight answers about K-Shield, your glass and what film can do.

Security window film is a thick, clear layer bonded to the inside face of your glass. Kepler's is K-Shield, made in a single 8 mil construction. It does not make glass stronger and it does not make a window unbreakable, because a struck pane still breaks. What it does is hold the broken pieces to the film, so the glass stays in the opening instead of falling out of it. That is the whole idea: an opening that is still covered, an intruder who has to keep working, and no fragments across the floor. At 88% visible light transmittance, most people never notice it is there.

Not on its own, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. What K-Shield removes is the easy option. Breaking glass is fast and quiet enough to be worth a thief's while; breaking glass that stays stuck to a film is neither. The pane goes white with cracks, the opening does not appear, and the person outside has to commit to minutes of noisy work in public. That will not stop someone set on getting in, but it can take your building off the quick list.

Kepler's Utah town pages are indexed on our find a tinter listing.

Wash it the way you would wash the glass: a soft microfiber cloth, clean water and a mild cleaner with no ammonia in it. Nothing abrasive, so no scouring pads, no blades and no gritty cloths, because the film surface marks more easily than glass does.

Kepler's 10-year limited warranty covers confirmed manufacturing defects in the film for the original purchaser, not damage done to it, and an approved claim provides replacement film with the fitting charged separately.

Tempered glass is the one that needs thinking about. It is stronger than ordinary glass, but Pilkington's technical guidance notes that when it does break it goes into very small pieces which can easily fall from a glazed opening under lateral pressure. Film holds those pieces to itself; whether the film is also held to the frame depends on how the edges are treated. Have your dealer look at the glass type and the frames before anything is specified.

Laminated glass already does part of this job. Two sheets of glass are bonded either side of a plastic interlayer, and Pilkington notes it can take a considerable load to force such a pane out of its opening even when both plies are broken. K-Shield adds a further retained surface on the room side, along with 99% UV rejection. Whether that is worth adding depends on the pane and what you are protecting against.

Thickness is the number everyone quotes, and on its own it settles nothing. What decides how a filmed window behaves is the film, the glass under it, the frame around it and how the two are joined, and those have to be looked at together rather than one at a time. Kepler publishes K-Shield as an 8 mil film at 88% visible light transmittance with 99% UV rejection, and backs it with a 10-year limited warranty on the film itself. Ask your dealer to look at your actual glazing before anything is specified.

They do different jobs, and the difference is which side of the glass they sit on. K-Shield is bonded to the inside, where it holds a broken pane together for as long as the film is on the window. Anti-graffiti film works outside the glass, as a thin sacrificial layer that takes the etching and the paint on the surface and comes away with the damage. Security film is thick and it is permanent while anti-graffiti film is thin and meant to be replaced. Because K-Shield is bonded hard to the glass, taking it off again is a proper job. Read about anti-graffiti films and how a sacrificial layer deals with marks left on the outside of your glass.

Broadly, yes. Both names describe film whose job is to keep broken glass in the frame. Where people draw a line, safety tends to mean protecting the people in the room from fragments, and security tends to mean delaying someone trying to get in. K-Shield is sold for both, because it is one behavior serving two purposes.

Unlike the solar films on our commercial window tinting page, K-Shield is not there for heat or shade; it is there for what happens to the glass.

The state's town-by-town pages sit on our find a tinter list.

Annealed glass is the ordinary float glass in a great many older Utah windows, and Pilkington describes it as breaking into large pieces, most of which stay in the glazed opening unless more force is applied. That suits the film: the shards are big, K-Shield has plenty to hold on to, and the pane tends to stay put as one cracked sheet. It is still worth having the frames and edges assessed, because a filmed pane is only as good as whatever is holding it in the wall.

This is the right question to ask, and the answer is not the same for every window. Film holds broken glass to itself, but it does not by itself hold the pane in its frame, which is why attachment to the frame is a separate decision on some glazing. Tempered glass is the usual case for it, because of the way it breaks. Kepler does not publish an edge-attachment specification for K-Shield, so treat this as a question for the dealer who surveys your glass rather than something to settle from a web page.
