How Window Film Can Help Protect Students and Staff During Emergencies

You may be wondering, how can window film make Colorado schools safer? This is, after all, a valid question since the type of window film most people are familiar is auto window tint. Safety and security films are similar to traditional window tint, but they work in a different way.

Security films are specially engineered to absorb impact and strengthen glass. The most common way that intruders try to break in is through the windows of a building. Glass can easily be broken with a swift kick or a hard blow from a heavy object such as a hammer. With just a hard smack, an intruder can easily get inside and cause serious damage.

That’s why schools are installing security film. Security film increases the shatter resistance of glass and creates a tear resistant barrier that prevents forced entry. If an intruder is spotted on campus, security guards can lock off the entrances of the school and usher children to safety. There are even certain types of security film that make school windows resistant to bullets.
