Ballistic Window Film

Bullet-Resistant Window Film

With school shootings still on the rise, more schools are installing bullet and shatter-resistant film as a measure of increasing security and providing protection to students and staff.

The decision to install protective glass film is usually made by school administrators in consultation with local education agencies, including school districts and charter schools; education service centers; institutions of higher education; security professionals and nonprofit organizations in the safety arena.

Ballistic Window Film

Appropriate for schools, churches and other at-risk 'soft targets', ballistic window films help contain and, in some cases, prevent glass sharding which can cause severe or fatal injuries. Ballistic window film is designed to delay entry through glass upon attack. In most cases, bullets and other projectiles will penetrate these films when installed on typical glass.

Ballistic window film, also commonly known as security window film, is designed to hold the glass in place when broken, which creates delayed access into a building by an active shooter. Window and door glass can also be retrofitted with these ballistic glass security films to resist other threats, such as forced entry, explosions, and extreme weather.

Do Schools Have Bulletproof Glass?

No. Bulletproof glass is a popular and misleading term. No glass and film combination will stop all physical and ballistic attacks. School officials are learning how bullet-resistant protective glass films can help slow, disrupt or prevent active shooter situations.

Available in many thicknesses, glass protection or security film products are installed on the interior of the existing lobby, entry and classroom windows and door glass, creating a clear shield to intruders. Properly installed, these security film products are "anchored," or attached, to the existing glazing frame with a structural caulk that bonds the film and broken glass to the existing window frame upon attack.
