Weather the storm.

  • A video shows how windows can break due to high winds, but 3MTM Safety & Security Films and 3MTM Impact Protection Attachment Systems provide protection.

    Keep your calm before, during and after the storm.

    Your building, and especially your windows, are vulnerable to the elements every day of the year. When windows break due to high winds, severe storms or accidental impacts, the cost to replace them could pale in comparison to the costs of lost business, physical harm and damaged property. Protect yourself and your business from the risk of flying glass that could cause injuries and damage with 3M™ Safety & Security Films and 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment Systems.

  • Despite piles of debris outside a building, the glass doors remain intact.

    During an earthquake, windows can be subjected to tremendous stress. They may shatter and fall out of window frames, causing dangerous openings in the building. Falling shards of glass can also present serious risks to occupants, pedestrians and property.

  • A video shows how impurities in tempered glass can result in spontaneous explosions.

    Fortify your glass to reduce the risk of injury or damage.
