Why Security Window Films Is A Good Idea For Austin Schools

Safety Is Key for Austin Students And Staff

Austin was ranked to have the strongest metropolitan economy in the country this year as profitable tech jobs and businesses continue to grow in the area. The city’s current 3% job growth rate which is double the US average, and abundance in Texas-sized portions of scrumptious barbeque and Tex-Mex food as well as fun ways for the family to burn off those calories, with family-friendly activities at destinations like Zilker Metropolitan Park, it’s no wonder people continue to move to the area.

School safety ranks high as a factor families consider before setting roots in a city. What is highly unfortunate is that our country averages over 20 mass shootings a month, and moreover the lethality of these shootings has increased. Because these shootings can happen anywhere, it is of utmost importance that schools take due diligence in being as safe as possible for students, teachers, and staff. Window Film Austin is a leading expert in security window film, with over twenty years experience in the industry.

What Is Security Window Film And How Does It Help?

Hundreds of schools across the country have begun to use security window film to vamp up on safety against the potential danger of unwanted intruders. Window film is an affordable and highly effective safety measure for schools. Security window film makes glass surfaces up to 40 times stronger than when it is left unprotected. They can be quickly applied to first-floor entryways and windows for added protection against blunt force damage for up to two minutes of repeated attack. Additional time is invaluable in an emergency situation as it provides the opportunity to find a safer space while waiting for law enforcement to arrive.

School safety film not only strengthens vulnerable glass surfaces but also prevents the glass from shattering on impact. This added benefit protects people from injuries and damage from sharp pieces of glass that would otherwise be strewn across a damage site. Furthermore, window films protect against UV damage from the sun so your school’s furnishing can last longer too.
