Known commonly as “ballistic window film,” security window film provides Los Angeles homeowners and businesses with an extra layer of protection by reinforcing their existing glass. Engineered to keep broken glass intact upon impact, this film helps slow down unauthorized entry and buys valuable time during critical situations. While not classified as bulletproof on its own, when paired with the proper glazing systems, it greatly improves resistance to forced entry and minimizes the dangers of flying glass shards. Perfect for schools, places of worship, commercial properties, and homes, security window film is a smart investment in protecting people and property in Los Angeles, California. For even greater performance, combining ballistic glass with high-performance window film offers maximum defense.
As incidents of school shootings continue to rise, many educational institutions are opting to install bullet-resistant and shatter-resistant glass and films to enhance security and protect both students and staff. Decisions to implement protective window films and ballistic glass solutions are typically made by school administrators, often in collaboration with local education agencies, such as school districts, charter schools, education service centers, colleges and universities, security experts, and nonprofit organizations focused on safety initiatives.
No. “Bulletproof glass” is a common but inaccurate term. No combination of glass and film can completely withstand all physical or ballistic attacks. School administrators are increasingly turning to bullet-resistant glass and security films to help slow down, interrupt, or deter active shooter threats. Available in a range of thicknesses, glass protection and security film products are typically installed on the inside of existing lobby, entryway, and classroom windows and door glass, forming a clear barrier against intruders. When properly installed, these films are “anchored” to the window frame using structural caulking, bonding the broken glass and film to the frame during an attack.

Security window films are often referred to as “ballistic window films,” but it’s important to note that they are not ballistically rated unless applied to ballistic-rated glass. Ideal for schools, churches, and other vulnerable “soft targets,” security window films help control — and in some cases prevent — dangerous glass fragmentation that can lead to serious or fatal injuries. Similar to ballistic glass, security film is designed to slow down forced entry through glass during an attack. However, when installed on standard glass, bullets and other projectiles will generally penetrate the film. The primary purpose of security window film is to keep broken glass intact, creating a barrier that delays unauthorized access during active shooter events. Additionally, windows and doors can be retrofitted with these protective films to guard against other risks, including break-ins, blasts, and severe weather.
