1. Existing Laminated Glass - IMPORTANT: Lessor will confirm that all glass meets the following minimum requirements: a nominal ¼” thick laminated glass pane fabricated from two pieces of nominal ⅛” thick glass bonded together with a minimum 0.030” polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. If the window contains an insulating glass unit (IGU), then the innermost lite must be the laminated glass noted above and the outer lite may be monolithic glass. If the Lessor is unable to provide written confirmation that the existing glass meets this requirement, then glass fragment retention film must be installed as indicated below. With written confirmation from the Lessor / contractor stating laminated glass is present (on ALL windows / doors that are on the perimeter of the Government’s leased premises, regardless of the window being to the outside air or a shared common space with other tenants) and meets the required standards above, fragment retention film is not required.

2. Glass Fragment Retention Film - IMPORTANT: Without written confirmation of laminated glass installed, all glass in exterior windows and doors shall have fragment retention film applied to the interior (room) side in accordance with manufacturer's instructions by a certified installer. Fragment retention film can be either optically clear or, if approved by Lessor, with a light gray tint or a reflective surface. Film shall be 3M Safety & Security Window Film, series type Ultra S800 or Ultra Prestige S50. Film may be substituted that meets or exceeds the specified films (along with manufacturer’s flexible-mechanical or structural silicone adhesive anchoring systems), with prior approval of COE.

The anchoring system must use 3M Impact Protection Profile BP700 Attachment System, a flexible-mechanical, pre-molded profile strip with adhesive “legs”. If the flexible-mechanical method is unacceptable to Lessor, then the anchoring system shall use the 3M Impact Protection Adhesive structural silicone adhesive. Under NO circumstances are standard sealant or caulk compounds to be utilized for adhesive anchoring of the film. Note: If used, the structural silicone adhesive color shall complement existing framing system and adhesive shall be applied only after the window has been masked with 1” blue “safe release tape” applied to both film and window frame to assure clean, gasket-like appearance when tape is removed. For ‘wooden window / door frame systems’, an anchoring system need not be applied to glass fragment retention film edges (daylight application).
