How Security Window Film Can Make Fort Worth School & College Campuses Safer
Over the past year, many questions have been raised about the safety of US schools. Following the events that took place in Florida, California, and Maryland, concerns grew greatly among the parents of school aged children across the country. The fact that these events have transpired is, after all, abominable. Schools are sacred places where children go to learn and no child should have to ever feel unsafe in a classroom.
After these events took place, our staff at Fort Worth Window Film received many calls regarding our security window films. Security window film has long been used for homes and commercial buildings. Administrators wondered, could these same security window films be just as beneficial for Fort Worth schools and colleges? The answer is yes!
Installing a security window film is a great way for Fort Worth schools to improve campus safety. Security window films provide 24/7 protection and have been known to provide a significant level of safety during emergencies like bomb blasts, intrusion, and natural disasters. They’re perfect for school campuses.
What All School Administrators Should Know About Security Window Film
Windows are undoubtedly the most vulnerable area of any building. It doesn’t take much to break a window – any small rock or hard object will do the job. So of course when disaster occurs, windows are usually the first point of fail.
Explosions and high winds can cause windows to implode and send glass everywhere. Windows are also a go-to entry point for intruders. These areas have to be strengthened in some way in order to keep a school campus secure. Bullet proof glass is ideal, but its expense goes far beyond what most schools can afford.
That’s where window film comes in. Window film helps to strengthen the glass section, or panes, of school windows. The film is like a thick layer of armor for the window. It absorbs shock and deflects impact. In the event that breakage occurs, the film keeps the broken glass in place, preventing intrusion and injury.
Types of Security Window Film for Schools
There are many different types of security window film for schools. Quality of materials and impact resistance determine the effectiveness of a film. Typically, most schools invest in one of the following types of film
-Break in protection film
-Glass strengthening film
