A glass management film, designed for fire and rescue services, has turned out to be a fitting solution for a company of window installers. When taking on refurbishment and fitting jobs, fitters often deal with broken glass and glazed units, particularly when removing old glazing units. The usual method of smashing the glass onto a plastic sheet for disposal is slow and potentially dangerous. A team from Wessex Windows was working in a fire station when they saw Packexe Smash in use during extrication training. Firefighters apply the film to car windows to stop glass breaking over workers and passengers during rescue, which is know in the industry as time-critical glass management. As a result, Wessex Windows now uses the specially designed self-adhesive film to make glass management easy. They simply apply the roll of Smash protection film across the glass so that it is stronger and less likely to break. If it doesn, the glass sticks to the film and is easily removed to safety.
