The unfortunate reality in the USA is the high rate of shooting incidents at schools.
This was the harsh reality and whatever one’s political persuasion concerning weapons, mental health and second amendment debates; our primary consideration is student and teacher protection.
One significant aspect of a security approach beyond law enforcement or onsite security personnel is an increase in perimeter protection and access.
Glass is the weakest point of entry for any facility.

There are differences in appearance between these films that are primarily based upon the solar safety combined films.
This type of glass safety film combines a thin film solution in combination with a thick shatter film.
The nuances in appearance include the appearance of the shatter film, privacy level and reflectivity.
This aesthetic consideration is important when school safety administrators determine what type of “look” they want for their school.
Privacy considerations become critical for keeping potential threats from observing what is happening within the school.
Highly reflective films will prevent scoping and simultaneously lower interior glare and heat which is a great concern for schools in warmer climates.
Advanced Film Solutions offers the most choices in shatter film appearance while maintaining the highest level of protection.
Property managers, asset protection, and security management have the critical responsibility to ensure safety for people and assets at soft target locations.
By soft target we are referring to facilities that may be targeted by extremists for potential explosives where security personnel are not typically employed.

It is highly recommended that the film installation is attached to storefront frames using an approved attachment system.

Reflective, dual reflective coatings:
Our portfolio of films covers a wide range of light transmissions and heat filtering capabilities.
Dual reflective films present a reflective appearance from the exterior view and a lower reflection from the interior. These films allow for night vision and will give the homeowner daytime privacy while factoring out heat.
No other company in Florida has as many choices. The se films range from our 5% straight through light transmissions of 58-60%
Non- Reflective coatings:
Our Ceramic Huper Optik coatings and Vista ceramic and spectrally selective films are less reflective than glass.

It should be noted that darker films in any composition factor out more heat than lighter versions of these films. This includes our spectrally selective films that filter out IR wavelengths.
There are some 3M dealers who confuse IR wavelengths with heat. This confusion leads them to make erroneous claims that a lighter 70% film can block 97% of the heat. This is clearly untrue.
