Sending a child to school can be scary in these days when school attacks are on the right.  The odds of a school shooting or bomb attack are small but when they happen–much devastation ensues.  This is why schools here in Southern California need to do everything they can to protect their students.  Security guards work well, and metal detectors too. Also, active shooter drills may have their place. When push comes to shove, however, one of the best ways to keep kids safer in San Diego schools is through security window film.

How Window Film Protects From A School Bomb Attack

One of the most potent ways to protect vulnerable entry points against attack is window film. It is a strong measure for school administrators to consider.  It has many additional benefits but is proven to keep innocent bystanders safer from bomb and ballistic attacks. Find out more information on the benefits of safety and security for San Diego schools below.

The Key Benefits of Bomb Blast Films for Schools in San Diego

Bomb-blast window film prevents glass from exploding: When struck during a ballistics or bomb event.  You may not realize it but, the fall out of the shooting or bomb can be as deadly as the attack itself.  The displaced glass becomes a weapon in and does the damage of shrapnel. Bomb blast window film keeps glass adhered to films when paired with a special bonding agent called C-bond.  This significantly reduces the risk of injuries and/or deaths to students and teachers from exploding glass. 

Bomb blast window film buys time:  During a bomb or shooter attack on a school–even second matter.  Once a bomb has been detonated students and teachers are left scrambling for cover and a further attack could be imminent.  Not only does the security window film protect from the initial explosion but ensuing attacks as well. It takes multiple blows and more time for an attacker to penetrate.  This buys seconds to minutes. A minute may not seem like a lot–but it can easily mean the difference between life and death during an attack by giving students and teachers time to hide or escape.

Bomb blast window film protects against accidents:  Horse-play in a high school environment is normal. Kids will be kids–so being prepared with security window film on glass features is a good idea in schools.  It protects San Diego students from slips, falls, trips and even pushes into glass.  Although rated for the magnitude of a bomb or bullet, bomb-blast window film resists impacts of all sizes.
