Ballistic window film offers Cleveland residents and businesses a solution to reinforce existing glass, holding shards together upon impact and slowing unauthorized entry. While not bulletproof alone, combined with advanced glazing, it greatly improves resistance to forced break-ins and reduces injury risk from flying glass. Ideal for schools, places of worship, commercial buildings, and homes, this film protects people and assets effectively. For maximum defense, it can be paired with ballistic glass to create a strong barrier. This upgrade enhances security without sacrificing natural light or aesthetics and offers a cost-effective alternative to window replacement or more invasive measures.
As school violence increases, many educational institutions invest in bullet- and shatter-resistant glass and films to improve safety. Decisions are made collaboratively by school administrators, local education agencies, security professionals, and nonprofit safety organizations to ensure compliance and effectiveness. This cooperation allows schools to adopt the latest technologies and best practices. Ongoing maintenance and regular assessments help ensure these protective measures remain effective and provide long-term security for students and staff.
The term “bulletproof glass” is often misleading, as no combination guarantees full protection against all ballistic threats. Glass protection or security films, however, delay and deter attacks effectively and are installed on existing windows and doors to create invisible barriers. Anchored securely to frames, these films hold broken glass in place, reducing injury risk and preventing quick forced entry. Combined with safety training and protocols, they form a key part of a comprehensive security plan that enhances protection for students and staff.
Additional benefits include:
• Complimentary on-site security evaluations
• Assistance with grant writing and funding
• Film thicknesses from 4 to 41 mil to meet various needs
• Lifetime residential and 15-year commercial warranties
“Ballistic window films” are not ballistically rated unless paired with certified ballistic glass. They are well-suited for schools, places of worship, and other vulnerable sites by minimizing glass fragmentation and delaying forced entry. While they don’t stop bullets alone, they provide critical extra time during an attack and reinforce glass against break-ins, blasts, and severe weather. These films can be installed quickly with minimal disruption, making them a practical security upgrade for many facilities. Furthermore, they help maintain the aesthetic integrity of existing windows while significantly enhancing safety. Many institutions also find that the added layer of protection provides peace of mind to students, staff, and visitors alike.
