Campus safety is a top concern of schools, universities, healthcare facilities, and many other types of campuses across the country. Several states have increased school funding through grants to pay for significant safety and security upgrades that keep students and teachers safe.

Strategies to harden a campus against outside threats can include keeping doors locked, a fenced perimeter, video surveillance and an onsite police presence. However, an often-overlooked security measure that should be considered as part of a school’s overall security envelope is the application of safety window film.

There are many benefits to utilizing safety and security window film for schools, including:

Safety and security window film is designed to deter and delay unwanted intrusion, reduce damage from natural disasters, and increase protection against accidents on school campuses. The film also adds a crucial layer of protection in the unfortunate event of an active shooter situation by making windows more difficult to breach.

There are a variety of safety film options available to strengthen your campus security. A professional installer can recommend the appropriate film to meet your security, aesthetic and building requirements.
