In light of recent tragedies, safety in schools is of primary concern to many across the nation. There are many ways in which people are trying to protect their children from harmful or violent acts while in school, and one way that they can accomplish this is to strengthen the most vulnerable points of entry: windows.

3M Safety and Security Window Film Series

These fragment retention films are designed to shatter into tiny little pieces that remain stuck together, rather that simply falling apart in large sheets of glass once struck by an object. This means that in order for a force to break through the window, it needs to repeatedly exert an incredible amount of effort to do so, thus slowing the entry of such a violent force.

The safety and security window films help to protect against both natural and unnatural acts of violence. Uncontrollable changes in weather systems can cause truly dangerous situations such as tornadoes or hurricanes. Powerful winds can easily throw large debris in all directions, which can seriously injure those that are not properly protected.

It is very unfortunate, but unnatural events such as break ins and shootings are also now a reality within schools. Much like natural disasters, the safety and security window films work to drastically slow and inhibit burglars and shooters from entering the building. This provides precious additional time for people to escape and for the authorities to reach the scene.

These fills are also a very cost effective solution because they are easy to apply and do not require any sort of window or glass replacement. To see these window films in action, please watch the 3M Safety and Security Film Video by clicking here.
