When people hear safety and security, they initially think “bullet-proof”. However, safety and security window films are NOT BULLET PROOF. Security film can stop a variety of dangerous factors, however bullets are not one of them.
As mentioned in the Statements on Protection from and against Ballistics from the International Window Film Association: “Safety/security films are being used in conjunction with various designed and tested bullet resistance glazings, but primarily as a “spall shield” to reduce the “spalling” off of small fragments of the glazings on the interior side in the event of being penetrated by ballistics.”
Safety and security window film is engineered to retain glass integrity, curbing potential harm from shattered glass during severe weather conditions and deterring break-ins. These films also create a formidable barrier that impedes criminals, and can lessen the impact of break-ins or vandalism.
Key Benefits of Security and Safety Window Film:
- Fortified Entry Defense: Bolster resistance against forced entry, discouraging intrusions and safeguarding occupants.
- Prevent Spontaneous Glass Breakage: Curtail the risk of sudden glass shattering, minimizing potential hazards.
- Mitigate Seismic and Weather Impact: Shield against seismic events and inclement weather, maintaining glass integrity.
- Explosive Force Protection: Elevate security with the capacity to withstand bomb blasts and explosions.
- Code Compliance: Embrace a heightened level of safety that meets and exceeds regulatory standards.
- Safe Enough For Schools: We use these same security window films to protect students in area schools.
Types of Establishments that could benefit the most from Safety & Security Window Film:
- Schools
- Churches and Religious Buildings
- Government Buildings
- Dispensaries
- Security Companies
- Police Departments
- Corporate Offices
- Storefronts
- Hospitals
