Unfortunately, there is no way to foresee another mass shooting event in the US. But we do recognize that public buildings have become a primary target for violent assault with firearms. This is because these areas are open and accessible to anyone, thus making them highly susceptible to attack from gun violence. One of the weakest security points in any public building is its windows, yet, window film installation can secure these weak spots and provide added protection against gunmen for those inside.

What is Security Window Film?

Security window film provides an extra layer of protection for glass windows and doors that is stronger than regular window film. It consists of several layers of tear-resistant polyester applied to the surface, which makes it formidable enough to resist bullets or bomb blasts when combined with the right security components, like specialty framing.

Ballistic-resistant security film systems need a robust framework for optimal performance. The frames are typically constructed with materials like steel, aluminum, or fiberglass and designed to contain the film and shattered glass when struck by bullets. Most critical, though, is it holds the entire sheet of film and glass in place, decreasing potential risks of harm to bystanders from pieces coming loose.

How Does Security Film Work to Keep Gunmen Out?

Utilizing security window film reinforces your glass up to 250%, making it more difficult for trespassers to penetrate. The glass may break, but the shards will remain in place due to the adhesion of the film – hindering an assailant from entering and providing you with precious time. Although nothing is bulletproof, this extra layer of protection takes multiple minutes to get through, giving those inside a chance to hide or flee before assistance arrives!

The Science Behind Security Window Film

To make security films more resilient to bullets, a polycarbonate layer is applied. This layer allows the film to absorb and diffuse the force of an incoming bullet using multiple layers. The process is called co-extrusion but is also known as laminating for simpler terms. When combined with C-Bond 2‘s superior adhesive technology, these systems can save lives in times of emergency by halting bullets in midair – it truly makes them life savers!
