What Is Security Window Film And How Does It Work?
Security film is a superficial layer that can be applied to glass doors and windows, to secure vulnerable entry points of buildings as an added safeguard against dire situations. Security film is a dependable alternative to shatter-proof windows and entryway reconstruction, which can be cost prohibitive for many schools. These special films are 4 to 15mm thick and are up to 40 times harder than a run of the mill glass surface making it difficult for intruders to enter. Security window film can hold against attack for up to 2 minutes, providing additional critical time for emergency responders to arrive on the scene.
Some Kansas City schools may be in severe weather zones, and security window film serves a dual purpose as a protectant against tornadoes. The film prevents glass from shattering, as an adhesive layer helps keep the glass in place, preventing additional injuries and damage.
