The unfortunate reality in the USA was 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.

The shatter protection window film we provide are manufactured by the leaders in the window film industry.

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.
