Certified safety films for glass from specialist HAVERKAMP are increasingly being used for building protection
Effective solution for companies that need to upgrade now and meet legal requirements
Protecting companies operating in sensitive industries such as energy, healthcare, finance, utilities or transportation is a top priority in the face of increasing global threats. Comprehensive security concepts are essential for these industries. A central component is the mechanical protection of company buildings against sabotage, unauthorized access, vandalism or eavesdropping. Solutions that can be implemented at short notice are important here in order to guarantee protection as quickly as possible.
Cost-efficient, quickly installed solution for securing glazing
Glazing and window fronts are a common weak point that needs to be secured. Replacing them with safety glass is time-consuming and cost-intensive. This is where film specialist HAVERKAMP has a much more efficient solution: since it was founded over 45 years ago, the company has been developing highly effective security films for retrofitting to glazing. "Glazing is always a sensitive area of a building. Unsecured, glass is simply fragile and easy to penetrate or destroy, no matter how useful and beautiful the material is," explains Ulrich Haverkamp, founder and managing partner of the company of the same name. This is why his company has developed flat glass films that enhance glass and give glazing higher protective properties: protection against flying fragments in the event of explosions, protection against break-ins or even shielding against data espionage through the glass.
Developed to protect people, goods and values
Today, HAVERKAMP is known worldwide as the manufacturer of PROFILON® high-security films. Among other things, the company's blast protection film saved lives during a bomb attack in Oslo's government district in 2011. "Our products protect people, goods and assets. There are a large number of national and international companies that we protect. We also increase the safety of mobile police, fire department and technical aid workers with our safety films for vehicles," says Haverkamp. HAVERKAMP regularly subjects the films to its own tests with explosives or firearms and works closely with top German federal authorities.
"With our portfolio, we are able to respond to every need."
Thanks to the range of its protective films, HAVERKAMP can always respond to the security requirements of different industries with an individual solution approach. "Of course, a research laboratory has different requirements for the protective properties of our safety film than a food producer, a retailer or the military," says Haverkamp. "With our portfolio, we are able to respond to every need." Almost any type of glazing can be retrofitted with PROFILON® security films. Depending on their thickness, structure and function, the films protect against penetration through glass fronts into the building, against life-threatening flying shards in the event of glass breakage, for example in the course of an explosion or a storm, or against eavesdropping attacks.
Use of security films meets legal requirements
Retrofitting is simple and cost-effective. The films are applied to existing glass fronts by trained installation teams, ideal for operators and companies that need to retrofit at short notice to meet legal requirements. Their use is a verifiable safety measure, which facilitates official inspections and notifications. HAVERKAMP now also advises companies that fall under the KRITIS Act.
Many years of experience and German production facilities convince
HAVERKAMP has been retrofitting buildings to protect against sabotage attacks, vandalism and burglary since the days of the RAF in Germany and has acquired know-how and expertise in the market over the decades like hardly any other company in this sector. Thanks to this expertise, HAVERKAMP films are among the most sought-after security films on the market. The fact that the films are manufactured in Germany is a further argument for many companies.
Discretion is a decisive factor
"We are very concerned about discretion," emphasizes Haverkamp. "After all, the areas we advise on and work in are highly sensitive." The high-performance films protect numerous international authorities, companies and organizations without this becoming public knowledge.
Unsecured glass panes are easy to destroy and therefore one of the most common weak points in buildings. With its security films, HAVERKAMP increases the service life of the glass; the protective films keep the glazing in place even in the event of attacks with stones, axes or steel balls. Penetration is prevented in this way.
Security films from the film developer HAVERKAMP are highly resistant, impact-resistant and reliably bind glass splinters in the event of breakage.
Depending on their thickness, structure and function, PROFILON® films protect against penetration through glass fronts into the building or against attacks with incendiary devices. HAVERKAMP can provide official test certificates for each of its films.
High-tech shielding films from HAVERKAMP protect against data tapping and exposure to electrosmog. HAVERKAMP has developed variants with a wide range of transmission properties from radiation levels to the shielding of high-frequency electromagnetic fields and has had them tested by government agencies.
Thanks to the rapid installation of the security films, protection against lightning burglary, vandalism or even attacks with incendiary devices can be realized very quickly.
