Commonly known as ballistic window film, security window film strengthens glass surfaces to reduce the risk of shattering and slow down forced entry attempts. While not classified as bulletproof, this film—when used in conjunction with appropriate glazing systems—significantly improves resistance to impact and break-ins. It helps keep broken glass intact, buying valuable time in emergency scenarios. This proactive solution is ideal for schools, religious buildings, commercial spaces, and homes across Fayetteville, North Carolina. For even stronger performance, ballistic film can be paired with advanced glazing for greater stopping power.
With the rise in school-related violence, many educational facilities are implementing shatter-resistant films and ballistic-grade glass systems to enhance safety. The choice to install glass protection solutions often involves coordination between school leadership, local education agencies, charter networks, universities, and safety-focused nonprofits. These stakeholders are working together to improve physical security and reduce risk to students and staff.
Not exactly. The phrase “bulletproof glass” is widely used but often misunderstood. No single solution guarantees total ballistic protection. Instead, schools are increasingly adopting glass protection and security film products that slow attackers and enhance resistance. Available in a range of thicknesses, these films are applied to the inside of existing doors, windows, and classroom glass. When professionally installed, the film is anchored with structural adhesive, which helps hold shattered glass in place and keeps the pane within the frame during a forced entry attempt.
Included with Installation:
• Free on-site glass security evaluations
• Grant assistance for schools and nonprofits
• Thickness options ranging from 4 to 41 mil
• Lifetime residential / 15-year commercial warranty
It’s important to note that the terminology surrounding ballistic window films can be confusing. While security window film is sometimes called “ballistic window film,” it only meets ballistic standards when applied to certified ballistic-rated glass. However, even on standard glass, these films provide a critical layer of defense—containing broken shards and delaying intrusions. Designed to mitigate injury from glass fragmentation, they are effective at slowing entry in the event of an attack, and can also be used to guard against forced break-ins, bomb blasts, and severe weather events. Schools, churches, and other vulnerable facilities often retrofit windows and doors with these films to help keep occupants safer.
