Known as “ballistic window film,” this high-strength security film strengthens existing glass by holding it together upon impact. It slows unauthorized entry attempts and provides critical extra seconds during emergencies. While it isn’t bulletproof on its own, when combined with proper glazing, it significantly enhances resistance to forced entry and reduces injury risks from shattered glass. Ideal for schools, houses of worship, commercial spaces, and residences in St. Paul, Minnesota, this film is a valuable investment in protecting people and property. For maximum protection, it can be paired with ballistic glass to achieve superior defense.
As incidents of school shootings rise, more educational institutions are adopting bullet- and shatter-resistant glass and films to improve campus safety and protect students and staff. Decisions to install these solutions are typically made by school administrators in partnership with local education agencies—including districts, charter schools, service centers, colleges, and universities—as well as security professionals and safety organizations focused on protecting vulnerable populations.
The term “bulletproof glass” is misleading—no glass-film combination offers complete protection from all types of ballistic or physical attacks. However, bullet-resistant films and glass are effective at delaying and deterring active shooter incidents. Available in multiple thicknesses, these films are applied to existing glass on entryways, classrooms, lobbies, and doors, creating an invisible, secure barrier. Professionally installed films are anchored to window frames with strong adhesives, keeping shattered glass firmly in place during attacks.
Additional benefits include:
• Complimentary on-site glass security evaluations
• Assistance with grant applications and documentation
• Film thickness options ranging from 4 to 41 mil
• Lifetime warranty for residential use and 15-year commercial warranty
Often called “ballistic window films,” security window films are not ballistically rated unless installed with certified ballistic glass. These films are ideal for schools, religious centers, and other sensitive locations, helping to prevent glass from shattering dangerously during attacks. Like ballistic glazing, they delay intrusion by holding broken glass intact, slowing an attacker’s progress. While they don’t stop bullets alone, these films reinforce doors and windows against break-ins, blasts, and severe weather, adding a crucial layer of defense.
