Broken Glass Containment Film for Shopping Centre Entrance
When a shattered entrance door panel at a shopping centre in West Melbourne could not be immediately replaced, Diamondguard 530 Series Kwik Fix Broken Glass Film was applied to stabilise the panel and keep the entrance operational. The film held the broken glass in place, prevented shards from falling, and allowed the door to continue functioning safely until replacement glass arrived.

The Challenge
A shattered entrance door panel at a busy shopping centre created an immediate safety risk. The glass was broken but still largely in place. Without intervention, loose shards could shift or fall at any point, putting customers and staff at risk and forcing the entrance out of service until replacement glass could be sourced and installed.
Glass replacement on a commercial entrance is not always a same-day fix. Lead times, glazier availability, and site access logistics mean a broken panel can sit unresolved for hours or days. The site needed a fast, reliable way to contain the panel and keep the entrance safe and operational in the interim.
The Solution
Diamondguard 530 Series Kwik Fix Broken Glass Film was applied directly to the broken panel. The film bonds across the entire surface, holding fragmented glass together and preventing shards from loosening or falling regardless of door movement or customer traffic.
Application is fast and requires no specialist equipment. Once in place, the film stabilised the panel immediately. When the glazier arrived, the film also made extraction safer by keeping the entire broken panel together as a single unit during removal, reducing the risk of injury from loose shards during the replacement process.
