Break glass in emergency - we have all seen the signs but would you smash a piece of emergency glass to reach the safety equipment? Of course not! That is why Safeglass was invented.
Safeglass is the only material specially modified to mimic some of the properties of glass but it does not cause injury when broken. It was specifically designed for emergency break glass replacement.
Safeglass was designed for emergency glass replacement and in direct response to concerns about safety and break glass. Before Safeglass came along, few alternatives to real glass existed. Breaking real glass to reach emergency equipment can be dangerous.
Safeglass is used for break glass on trains , buses and in buildings for use on emergency equipment.
