Glass on thousands of K-12 facilities is now protected with window film. As an added benefit, window film is designed to hold onto broken glass reducing the possibility of injury or damage caused by flying glass shards. These films can significantly slow a criminal armed with a hammer or other heavy tool from breaking through glass. This product has been on the market for years, but now is available with up to 42 micro-layers of strong, tear-resistant safety film. One solution is window film that’s applied directly to glass to make it more difficult to break. The security industry has responded with two solutions to slow down a criminal looking to break into a school building. Criminals can break glass to climb through or reach in and unlock the entry. Windows and glass doors are among the most vulnerable access points in a school.
