In the past few decades, schools across the country have become huge targets for mass shootings. This is an incredibly scary and dangerous time for young children to be attending school each day. To keep your students safe from threats, it is important to have have an emergency response plan in place. Having security window films installed provides another barrier to protect your students and staff. Although window films are unable to stop bullets, they can slow down or prevent a shooter from entering the building. Below is a breakdown of the types of films we offer that are perfect for schools looking for a greater sense of security to keep their students safe.
3M Ultra Prestige Series Window Films
This series has 42 micro-layers of tear-resistant Ultra safety film, making it the peak of technology in the window film industry. Despite these protective layers, it allows up to 70% of natural sunlight to pass through so your students won’t be left in the dark. They are also great for areas that experience lots of severe weather throughout the year. For areas exposed to extreme sunlight, especially in the South, this film rejects up to 97% of the sun’s Infrared rays.
3M Ultra Series Window Films
Just like the Prestige Series, the Ultra also has 42 micro-layers of tear-resistant safety film. Compared to regular polyester films, the 3M Ultra Series offers greater protection against impact and blasts. Whether you choose a clear or sun-controlled film, the Ultra Series lets in up to 50% natural light. This makes it perfect for schools that receive intense sunlight during the day. Whether public or private, your school will benefit in safety from a 3M Ultra Series Window Film.
3M Safety Series Window Films
Broken glass from natural disasters and human threats are a serious concern for administrators. However, the 3M Safety Series is designed to prevent just that. These films contain a thicker adhesive specially designed to hold broken glass together. This creates a harder obstacle for a shooter or tree branch to break through. Not only is it tough against intruders, but also UV rays that can cause fading on the inside of your school.
Thinking steps ahead of intruders and severe weather is key to keeping your students protected. All children deserve a safe space for them to grow and learn, and the 3M Security Window Films are designed with their well-being in mind.
