Why Choose SafetyShield® for School Safety?
SafetyShield® is an impact-resistant laminate film that strengthens windows and glass doors, delaying unauthorized entry and helping protect those inside. This innovative safety film keeps glass fragments together upon impact, reducing the risk of injury from shattered glass and providing a crucial barrier against intruders.
- Intrusion Resistance: SafetyShield® reinforces windows to slow down forced entry attempts, giving staff and law enforcement more time to respond during emergencies.
- Shatter Protection: In the event of an impact, SafetyShield® prevents glass from shattering, reducing the risk of injuries caused by flying glass.
- 24/7 Passive Protection: The film provides continuous security, integrating seamlessly with existing safety measures to enhance campus protection around the clock.
