Safety Film for Schools & More

Glass windows can be incredibly fragile, making them a great entryway for intruders who can’t get past a locked door. Even when a window is reinforced, that doesn't mean it will always hold up to many of the dangerous realities of this world.

In light of incidents such as the Sandy Hook school shootings in 2012, the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, and civil disturbances such as occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and other cities in 2014, applying a bomb blast mitigation or security film to windows could potentially save many lives by reducing injuries caused by flying glass, or by slowing down the perpetrator. This may allow more time for intended victims to seek shelter or safety, and more time for police to arrive.

In the case of the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, the assailant was able to gain entry to a locked school facility by shooting through the plate glass of the entry doors, shattering it so he could climb through.

It is entirely possible that many lives could have been saved had better reinforced windows with protective safety film been in place at the school, which would have prevented or at least significantly slowed the entry of the assailant into the building.

Windows with a safety film on them are able to provide precious time for people to avoid becoming victims as a result of such forced entry because they’re much more difficult to shatter, deterring or preventing an intruder from entering a room.

As an added bonus they’re also much better for heat insulation, so there are immediate benefits even if the unthinkable never happens.

Think about how helpful these film-reinforced windows could be in police stations, schools, banks, prisons, airports, offices, government buildings, or any other high security location.
