Schools here in Austin and across the US are places of higher learning. From Westwood High School to The University of Texas at Austin we are lucky enough here in Austin have any number of esteemed institutions to choose from too. However, as great as these schools may be, they are only as good as they are safe. Which is why safety and security window film is an amazing addition to windows on schools in Austin. However, there are different films for different applications and depending on the individual needs of your school–the choice you make for window film may vary from a school right down the street. Read below to find out a little bit more about safety and security film options and applications and how it may work for your Austin area educational environment.

Basic Safety and Security Window Films For Schools

These fully translucent protective window films are powerful enough to keep intruders out of campus buildings where smash and grab theft may be an issue– like school stores or dorms. However, since they are clear they allow for unobstructed views and they don’t “advertise” the weak points in school buildings. Additionally, they are great at mitigating danger from natural disasters and everyday accidents too!

Anti-Graffiti Film For Keeping Austin School’s Lovely

Graffiti is rampant on school campuses around the US and here in Austin is no different. Graffiti protection films are applied right on top of the existing metal, glass or mirrored surfaces than easily removed and replaced should the area be defaced. Best of all? The unwanted graffiti comes away with the film!

Bomb and Bullet Resistant Films For The Ultimate In Protection

When the safety of your students in the event of a bomb or bullet attack is something you want to address, you need a strong, tear resistant film that will hold broken glass together so windows won’t shatter. Used with a specialty attachment systems and C-bond adhesive and the windows on your school are about as fortified as they can get from a potential schools shooter attack, without investing in thick, often times less transparent glass systems.
