Description Anti-burglary Window Film QS7
Short description
When a pane of glass or a window is broken, a hole is created through which burglars can gain entry to the interior of your premises. It only takes them a few seconds and, more often than not, goes unnoticed by passers-by. It means that, unfortunately, thieves can all too often gain access to your valuable belongings. Anti theft window film will slow down a burglar’s actions enough to force him to give up his attempt and increase the chances of his being discovered by passers-by. Anti theft window glass holds the glass together like a shield, as it were, making it very difficult to actually penetrate the window and, as a result, considerably hindering access to the inside of the building. The film is officially classified in the 2B2 DIN EN 12600 class; this certification is issued by the testing laboratory for safety glass at MPA-NRW. The official certification for the glass security film can be found at the bottom of this page. Protect your valuable belongings with QS7 security film.
Security categories
Our anti-theft window films are divided into 3 different security categories: +Class, ++Class & +++Class, of which +++Class film offers the best protection. The differences between the three categories lies in the thickness (microns) of the glass security film. +Class has a thickness of 198 microns. It is a window film that offers decent protection. This class of security film is popular in homes and offices. This security film has good delaying properties to deter burglars.
Application
This glass security film is transparent and consequently does not change the visibility or amount of daylight, either from inside or outside. The film does not alter the architectural features of a building, so this anti theft window film can be used in historic or listed buildings without a problem. Another advantage is that this film blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays, so it will stop your furnishings and furniture from fading. QS7 security film should always be applied to the inside of the pane of glass.
Security film is an additional protective measure against burglaries and may slow down a burglary. SCALASOL® cannot be held liable for any successful burglary and any damage or costs arising from it.

Application
Preparation
Before applying the QS7, you must carry out the necessary preparations. The glass should be thoroughly cleaned using SCALASOL® TO-PREPARE and the SCALASOL® glass scraper.
Application on the inside of the glass
The QS7 should be applied to the inside of the window. It is suitable for all types of flat glass, including Low-E (high-efficiency) glass.
Recommendation: Seal windows with structural sealant-
The security film must be applied over the entire glass pane (including between the rebate). If this is not possible, you can use the following special structural sealant: DOWSIL™ 995 Sealing Sealant | Black | High impact. This structural sealant ensures that the window does not come loose from the frame during a burglary attempt. The structural sealant works as a seal between the glass and the frame. This method of sealing helps prevent the glass (in combination with security film) from coming loose from the frame in the event of a high impact. The structural sealant must be applied to the inside (window film side) of the glass (indoor). DOWSIL™ 995 structural sealant has a very high tensile strength and is therefore ideal for absorbing impact energy such as that released by; explosions, extreme weather conditions, vandalism & burglary attempts.

* The light measurements (VLT & VLR) were performed using laboratory equipment and are based on monochromatic light. However, it is important to emphasise that these results should be interpreted differently in practical use. Therefore, below we provide a realistic indication of light transmission in practical applications on a bright, sunlit summer day.
