Not all transparent security products are created equal.
From a distance, many clear security solutions look similar. What most people cannot see is the material behind them, and that is often what makes the biggest difference.
At SheerGuard, we believe it is important for our clients to understand exactly what they are investing in. That is why we use genuine EXOLON® polycarbonate in our transparent security solutions.
So, what makes it different?
EXOLON® polycarbonate is recognised for its exceptional impact resistance and high tensile strength. Instead of cracking or shattering under impact like traditional materials, it is designed to absorb force and flex, making it remarkably difficult to penetrate.
One of the best ways to appreciate the performance of this material is to see it tested.
In the video below, an 8 mm EXOLON® UV-coated polycarbonate panel is subjected to an extended attack using a range of common hand tools, including hammers, crowbars, chisels, a blow torch, drills and an axe. The demonstration is based on a recognised Level 3 security test, designed to evaluate how the material performs under sustained attack.
Rather than breaking apart, the panel continues to absorb repeated impacts. It dents. It scratches. It flexes. Yet after twenty minutes of continuous attack, it remains intact, demonstrating why EXOLON® polycarbonate has earned its reputation as one of the world’s strongest transparent materials.
Watch the demonstration:
At SheerGuard, we know that security is about far more than appearance. The quality of the material is just as important as the design, installation and workmanship behind it.
Whether it is protecting a family home, a retail storefront or a commercial property, choosing a proven material provides confidence that extends well beyond the day it is installed.
