How Window Film Can Help Protect Students and Staff During Emergencies

For many people, window film is the last thing they think of when considering security options. For this reason, many schools turn to expensive equipment or structural changes like metal bars. But in actuality, window film is just as effective as these measures, if not more.

Security window films are much different than regular car tint. They’re actually designed to alter the molecular composition of glass. Upon installation, the film bonds directly to the glass. The window film primer penetrates the pores of the glass itself, and rewires its molecular fibers to make them stronger and more effective at resistant shattering.

Several studies have been conducted that have proven window film to be very effective in enhancing school security. Products like C-Bond are now proving that window film actually has the power to make glass ballistic resistant. In the event of an active shooter at campus, this can be an incredibly powerful tool to have.
