Guidance for specification option:

A transparent polypropylene SAFE+ film can be applied to the painted side to deliver enhanced safety, with two benefits:

  1. If the glass is broken, the shards adhere to the film, preventing injury.
  2. It protects the painted side of the glass from scratching.


AGC painted glass products with a SAFE+ film comply with standard EN 12600.

Installation

Manufacturer's standard.

Guidance for specification option:

See AGC Fix-In products for recommended installation products.


Due to the special pigments used in its production, the metallic colour Taupe Metal must be processed and installed in a specific orientation.


The other colours in the range are applied isotropically (i.e. the coat of paint does not have a direction or orientation).


The SAFE+ film should be used for Taupe Metal to provide additional protection to the back of the glass when applying silicone.

Please make sure the paint is not scratched during processing and installation.
