We Increase Local School Safety and Security With Window Films

In today’s world, school safety is more important than ever. Across the country, families, educators, and communities are calling for better protection in schools, —without turning classrooms into high-security zones.

At MGT Window Solutions, we hear these concerns and share your commitment to creating safer learning environments. That’s why we offer innovative, non-invasive security solutions like safety window films. These films help strengthen vulnerable entry points without changing the look or feel of your school.

The MGT Films family is passionate about the tools we have that can be implemented to increase school safety and security. It is an unfortunate reality of our time that we must be diligent about integrating technology to help keep students and faculty safe. We have recently been installing numerous jobs across the United States in an effort to have these films installed before the students return from Summer break. However, our teams can also integrate installations even after the school year starts again during evenings and weekends.

We understand that discussing school security and student safety strategies is difficult without appearing to have an agenda or be trying to sell something. While we want to be sensitive to this, it is important to share information that can have a positive impact on these incidents in the future. Our goal is to give you the facts you need to make informed decisions about student and staff safety, —without adding fear or confusion.

What Are Security Window Films?

Security window film is a clear or tinted layer made of strong polyester that sticks to glass. You apply it directly to windows and glass doors. Its main job is to strengthen the glass, making it harder to break. If the glass does break, the film holds the pieces together, which helps prevent injuries and makes it harder for someone to get through.

Types of Window Films

There are different kinds of window films, and each serves a specific purpose:

• Safety/Security Films: These are thick and tough. They help protect people and property by holding shattered glass in place. They’re often used in homes, schools, and businesses to stop break-ins or reduce damage during accidents or storms.
• Solar Control Films: These films block heat and harmful UV rays from the sun. While their main job is to improve comfort and energy savings, they also add a layer of safety by making glass a bit stronger.

How Security Films Improve Safety

Security films offer real benefits when it comes to protection:

• They Hold Glass Together: If someone tries to break in or if something hits the window, the film helps keep the glass from falling apart. This can stop or slow down intruders.
• They Buy Time for Help to Arrive: Because the film helps to delay entry, it gives police, security, or emergency crews more time to respond.
• They Reduce Injuries: In events like earthquakes, storms, or accidents, broken glass can cause serious injuries. Security film helps prevent this by keeping sharp shards from flying around.

Real-World Implementation Across U.S. Schools

MGT Films has been busy installing security window films in schools across the United States, helping to enhance safety and protection for students and staff. Recent projects have included schools in states like Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, and Wisconsin, where the need for stronger security measures has been a top priority. These installations focus on reinforcing glass windows and doors, ensuring that schools are safer in the event of an emergency.

Whether it’s a large district or a smaller community school, MGT Window Solutions tailors each project to fit the specific needs of the school. From high-traffic entrances to classrooms and gyms, our films are designed to add a layer of defense where it’s needed most.

Conclusion: A Safer Future for Our Schools

At MGT Window Solutions, our mission is simple: to provide schools with the tools they need to enhance safety and security. By installing high-quality security window films, we’re helping protect students, teachers, and staff from potential threats and accidents.
