School safety window film

A cost-effective way to increase safety, reduce vulnerabilities, and promote an environment conducive to learning.

As an educator and school administrator, you spend much of your day focused on the wellbeing of your students and staff. School safety is a topic that weighs heavily into this conversation in communities and school districts across the nation. And for a good reason. Since 2013, there have been over 200 school shootings in the United States, with 2018 being the deadliest year of all.

3M™ Safety window film by Epic Solar Control can help provide a critical layer of protection for your school — without breaking your schedule or budget.

As an awarded BuyBoard & TIPS-USA vendor, Epic Solar Control window tinting services are available to schools at discounted rates, and without a lengthy RFP process.

Options for increasing safety in
our schools and universities

With a heightened sense of urgency, schools have been increasing school security initiatives at a rapid pace. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, these initiatives include controlled access, security cameras, enhanced identification badges, metal detectors, and the addition of armed enforcement officers and SROs among the top.

But many administrators struggle with balancing these extra safety measures with their mission of facilitating a positive learning environment, maintaining open access, and adhering to strict budgets.

How can safety window film help protect your school?

Cost-effective
solution

Safety and Security window film is significantly more cost-effective than replacing all windows and doors, adding bulletproof glass, or wire-reinforced glass.

Fortifies vulnerable
entry points

The micro-layered, tear-resistant film holds broken glass together, hindering intruders from entering through broken glass and gaining extra time for response teams.

Mitigates dangers of
broken glass

Protects people and property from flying glass shards during blasts or weather-related events by holding broken glass in place to prevent injuries.

Promotes positive
learning environment

The optical clarity of safety window film and numerous tint options allow natural light in to stimulate creativity and productivity for students and staff.

Reduces energy consumption
& utility costs

Combine safety window film with Sun Control tinting options to reduce glare, reject heat and UV rays while reducing heating and cooling costs.

Quick & Simple
Installation

Installation in most schools can happen in just a few days and can be applied over existing glazing by certified installer such as Epic Solar Control.

How do Safety & Security Films Work?

  • The combination of window film plus a strong adhesive forms a protective membrane on the glass.
  • The film is applied on the interior side of the glass, opposite of the attack face and protected from the elements.
  • School safety window film does not prevent the glass from breaking, but it does help hold broken glass fragments together.
  • Optional film attachment protection systems are applied along the perimeter of hte window to anchor the film to the window frame.
  • Safety window film forces the intruder to create an opening in the center of the broken glass to enter, thus giving responders precious additional time.

Special Note: 3M Safety & Security Window Films provide an added level of protection for schools and universities. Safety films are designed to slow down intruders, and give first responders additional time. Safety window films are not bulletproof or bullet-resistant.
