Nashville School Security Window Film

What Security Challenges Are Nashville Schools Facing?

Nashville schools face security challenges. This includes the need for security vestibules for added protection. Private schools have fewer requirements for safety plans, exempting them from Tennessee’s regulations. The recent tragic shooting at Covenant School emphasizes security concerns in private schools. Some lawmakers advocate increased funding for school security and resource officers, but no plans to assign officers to schools have been made at this time. These are challenging concerns and leaders are working hard to address them.

Provide More Time for Response

In emergencies, every second counts. By installing school security window films that strengthen the window glass, schools are giving their staff and students extra time to respond to potential dangers and evacuate safely.

Dual Premium Security Film (Interior and Exterior)

We recommend this option for schools with dual-pane glazing. In addition to installing an interior film, an external film is added to the outer pane for extra security.

• Interior and exterior application of premium security film with an anchoring system.
• Goal is to increase response time by three minutes or more.

Explosive Resistance Film

Our blast-resistant systems provide protection for single and dual-pane structures, both in the interior and exterior, making your facility safer. Our anchoring system pairs with premium security film to increase the shatter resistance of glass and flexibility.

• Goal is to enhance the performance and safety of the glass.

Ballistic Resistant Security Film

We use specialized priming agents, layered security window film, and thick glass to achieve ballistic resistance of our windows. The system is custom-made to offer added protection against handgun attacks. It’s important to note that the window frames are not ballistic resistant and that the system is not designed to be assault-rifle-proof.

• Goal is to boost defense response time and ballistic resistance. Applied in interior and exterior locations.
