HOW SECURITY WINDOW FILM CAN HELP PREVENT SCHOOL SHOOTING TRAGEDIES

The Federal Commission on School Safety and the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission report both recommend security window film for schools. 

Security window film can help prevent school shooting tragedies by delaying forced entry, reducing visibility, and containing spall.

DELAY ENTRY AND INCREASE RESPONSE TIME

Security window film has been shown to delay entry by between two to six minutes. This prevents perpetrators from gaining immediate access to the school and gives schools additional time to initiate emergency response plans and first responders to arrive at the scene.

REDUCE VISIBILITY

Window film not only provides privacy but also enhances safety. Darkened windows make it more difficult for potential shooters to target individuals within a school, acting as a deterrent to those with harmful intentions.

CONTAIN SPALLS

Glass can break due to various reasons such as bomb blasts, windstorms, gunshots, or human impact. This breakage results in the formation of "spall" which are glass pieces that can pose a serious threat to individuals in the vicinity. Security window film acts as a barrier to contain spall and prevent it from turning into dangerous projectiles flying around.
