Security is paramount in education; security window films provide a proven way to boost your school's protective measures.
Security is the cornerstone of any educational institution, and Madico's security window films offer a reliable solution to augment your school's safety measures.
Here's how they enhance the security of your campus:
A. Increased Protection Against Break-ins and Vandalism
1. Delayed Forced Entry: Our security films provide an extra layer of strength to windows, making it considerably more challenging for intruders to gain access. While not impenetrable, they significantly delay entry, providing precious extra time for law enforcement to respond.
2. Reduced Shattering: In the event of an attempted break-in or vandalism, our films keep broken glass together, reducing potential injury and making clean-up easier.
B. Enhanced Safety During Natural Disasters
1. Windborne Debris Protection: During extreme weather events like hurricanes or tornadoes, windows are susceptible to damage from windborne debris. Security film can help to reduce this risk, safeguarding your campus and its occupants.
2. Glass Shard Containment: If a window does break during a natural disaster, security film help to contain glass shards (spall), reducing the risk of injury to students and staff.
C. Protection from Active Shooter Situations
1. Reduced Visibility: Specific types of security film can make it more difficult for a potential threat from the outside to view inside, which can be a crucial factor in an active shooter scenario.
2. Increased Response Time for Law Enforcement: As our films make windows more difficult to breach, they can delay an active shooter's entry, providing extra response time for law enforcement.
Does security window film make glass bulletproof?
The answer, quite simply, is no. The International Window Film Association (IWFA) emphasizes that there's no bullet-proof testing for window film alone. If a salesperson states otherwise, insist on evidence. It's crucial to check if the windows in their tests are of the same type and thickness as your school's. The IWFA's detailed report, "Security Film in Schools," is accessible for download as a PDF from their website.
With that in mind, security window films add many features to guard against forced entry attacks, offering a robust line of defense that contributes significantly to the comprehensive security strategy of any school.
