Description

The Flexi25 flexible glass anchoring system is designed to allow the daylight window film application of window film to be restrained within the window opening, preventing glass fragments or debris entering the building interior. The FlexZone expands under pressure and delays the point at which the filmed glass pane enters the interior in the event of a bomb blast or glass failure. It works in combination with the window film to reduce the hazard to occupants within three metres of the window.


The system is available in a full range of sizes, colours and profile shapes and is designed to appear as part of the original window system, maintaining the appearance of a building.

  • High performance protection.
  • Used in conjunction with leading brand safety films.
  • Avoids unnecessary use of silicone.
  • Odour free.
  • Four size options in both standard 180 degree and 'Z' profile options.
  • Black, white and grey colours as standard, with the option to have the profile colour matched to the frame.
  • Structural modifications to existing window frames are not needed.
  • Free training and installation kits with orders in excess of 500 metres.
  • Must be installed by authorised installers; consult manufacturer for details.
  • Blast Tested to ISO 16933 EXV25 (2019).
  • Nickel Sulphide Glass Retention Tested (2023).
