Blast Window Anchor System
CINTEC America’s Blast Window Retention Anchor Systems offer a customized solution for each client, using a special installation technique and masonry substrate to provide maximum resistance to explosions. The company’s personnel inspect a structure and model its windows to assess how they might fare in an explosion and what would be the best way to reinforce them. Onsite, the company inserts windows fashioned out of a steel bar and enclosed in a mesh fabric sleeve into the building masonry and then connects them to the frames. It then injects a non-polymer, cementitious grout into the sleeve under low pressure. The grout fuses with the mesh, expands, and shapes itself around the steel to fit the space.
