The TempGARD™ system has been designed to work where “walls of glass” are installed in buildings and there are no window frames to attach an anchoring system. Normally there are fixing bolts through the toughened glass often referred to as “planar” fittings. There are normally four, six or sometimes eight bolt fixings per pane. The individual panes of glass are often held together by way of a bead of structural silicone.

A problem, which is solved by this system, is that toughened glass can break either by impact or sometimes by an impurity in the manufacturing process called Nickel Sulphide. This impurity can cause the toughened glass to spontaneously explode due to the Nickel Sulphide crystal suddenly expanding. Such incidents have occurred up to fifteen years from when the glass is first made.

The patented TempGARD™ system uses blast protection film which has been cut around the bolt fixings. After the film is installed an adhesive washer is applied over the bolt fixing and attached to the film. The TempGARD™ system then holds the film in place in the event of breakage.
