Explosions pose a serious and unpredictable threat to glass facades and windows — whether caused by attacks, criminal acts, or industrial incidents. The blast wave generated by a detonation destroys glass fronts and window panes in seconds. The resulting glass fragments, hurled at high velocity, pose an extreme danger to anyone nearby. The risk of severe injury is high. In 2024, a single explosion in front of a fitness center in Germany completely shattered its glass front — it was pure coincidence, as the owner later stated, that no one was standing behind the windows at the time.

Glass facades can be protected proactively with PROFILON® safety film
Retail storefronts, glass facades of offices or cafés, and glass doors in the entrance areas of gyms, hotels, and commercial establishments can then pose a risk of injury. With this in mind, the safety and film specialists at HAVERKAMP have developed a highly effective and easy-to-install solution: safety films called PROFILON®. These prevent flying shards and thereby minimize the risk of injury.

Retrofit shatter and burglary protection without replacing windows
The films offer a relatively cost-effective retrofit solution that can be installed at any time on single-pane or insulated glass in high-risk areas. Windows do not need to be replaced. Installation is carried out by trained professionals. This does not disrupt normal daily operations or customer service. PROFILON® safety films are also transparent, flame-retardant, and impact-resistant, thereby providing protection against break-ins as well. The film is effective as soon as it is installed. In the event of an explosion, it prevents dangerous flying shards by holding the shattered pane in the frame and binding the glass fragments. Manufacturer HAVERKAMP produces safety films in various resistance classes and for different requirements.

Effectiveness is certified. Numerous companies have already been retrofitted.
The company has not only developed these films but also tested and certified them, and they have been in use for many years. The specialists can demonstrate their effectiveness with numerous test certificates. HAVERKAMP thus secures companies in the banking sector, critical infrastructure companies, government buildings, and many global players, as well as numerous businesses, jewelry stores, and retailers. HAVERKAMP regularly demonstrates the functionality and effectiveness of its products through blast and simulated break-in tests conducted on its own premises.
Upon request, the protective films can be combined with additional features, such as integrated privacy or sun protection. As a manufacturer, HAVERKAMP can accommodate individual requirements during production and provides personalized consultation to its customers.

Film saved lives during a bomb attack in Oslo
The fact that HAVERKAMP films can actually save lives was demonstrated, among other things, during a devastating bomb attack in Oslo’s government district in 2011. Eight people lost their lives in the immediate vicinity of the attack. In the adjacent buildings, whose glass facades were secured with PROFILON® film, everyone survived.
