SAFETY & SECURITY FILMS FOR SCHOOLS
Shade9 Window Tinting providing safety and security film for West Virginia schools
Why Schools Implement Safety & Security Window Films?
Safety and security window films, when combined with proper attachment systems, are designed to reinforce existing glass and reduce vulnerabilities commonly found in school buildings. These systems do not prevent glass from breaking, but they help hold shattered glass together, slow forced entry attempts, and reduce the risk of injury from flying glass fragments.
By strengthening door glass, sidelites, and other vulnerable glazing areas, schools can gain valuable response time during an incident—without altering the appearance of the building or limiting natural light.
Safety & security window films can help schools:
Delay unauthorized entry through glass by forcing intruders to spend more time creating an opening
Reduce injuries caused by shattered glass during forced entry, accidents, or severe weather
Anchor broken glass to the frame when attachment systems are used, improving glass retention
Support existing safety protocols by providing additional time for staff and first responders to act
Every Second Counts.
National surveys consistently show that parents, educators, and administrators are concerned about school safety. During critical incidents, response time matters and even small delays can make a meaningful difference.
Safety and security window film, when paired with a properly designed attachment system, can help slow forced entry attempts through glass. While these systems do not prevent glass from breaking, they are designed to hold shattered glass together and force additional effort to gain access, providing valuable time for staff, students, and first responders to act.
By reinforcing vulnerable glazing areas such as door vision panels and sidelites, schools can add a layer of protection that works alongside existing safety protocols without altering daily operations or the learning environment.
Popular security Films for delay entry
Our Llumar® security window films, when combined with a structural attachment system, create a critical layer of protection for schools by strengthening the glass and securely bonding it to the window frame.
This added reinforcement helps keep glass intact under impact, significantly slowing down intruders and providing valuable time for lockdown procedures and emergency response. Available in clear and dual-reflective options, these films deliver both enhanced safety and solar control, making them an ideal solution for securing classrooms, entrances, and vulnerable areas.
