How Window Film Can Help Protect Students and Staff During Emergencies

Windows are the most vulnerable point of any school building. They’re a point of entry for intruders. High winds or falling objects can cause them to break. And glass shards can easily become deadly projectiles.

In all these instances, window film can help keep students safe. Once installed, security window film acts like a protective shield for vulnerable glass. The film absorbs impact, decreasing the risk of shattering. And if the window does break, either as a result of physical trauma or shockwaves, the film will hold the broken glass pieces in place. Additionally, the film creates a tear resistant layer that keeps intruders from entering the school.
