The weakest points in any building are glass windows and doors. While beautiful, they are susceptible to natural occurrences such as storms, and man-made threats such as active shooters and bomb blasts.
One way churches and their schools can enhance the security of their facilities is by installing security window film. This specialty film helps mitigate attacks on glass windows and doors while still preserving the look and aesthetics of a building.
The film works by holding shattered glass in place which protects individuals from flying shards. It also helps deter intruders by slowing down attackers, which gives those inside more time to react and seek out safety. This important time also gives law enforcement critical minutes to respond to a situation.
Because it is nearly transparent when installed on glass, there is no detraction to views from the inside out, and natural light can still flow through the entire space. In addition when compared to other measures such as security glass, security window film is a cost-effective investment.
The professionals of Eastern Solar Glass can provide a recommendation for a security window film that fits the specific needs of your religious institution. Call us at 856-767-3442 or email [email protected].
