Security by retrofitting.

Makrolon Hygard makes it possible to protect windows in an easy and discreet manner against dangers from the outside.

Weighing 40 kilograms per sqm, Makrolon Hygard MS 1250 weighs half of a comparable glass glazing sheet.

No heavy equipment (such as a crane or lifting platform) is needed for installation.

All that is needed is a new framework in which to fit the new polycarbonate sheets.
