Nashville Security Film Experts Protect Schools, Businesses & Other Establishments from Criminal Activity & Severe Storms

Look around your establishment: How many windows do you see? As glass provides easy access for criminals and increases the risk of damage to your facility during severe weather, every window and glass door is a security risk.

At Solar Insulation , we’ve been increasing safety and security in schools, businesses, churches, and other facilities for more than 40 years. As Nashville’s leading expert in security film installations, we want to make you aware of the potential threats of glass and how you can best protect your facility from criminal activity and severe storms.

High-quality security film prevents glass from shattering upon impact and significantly slows down intruders. While offering a high level of protection, security film is also practical when considering costs. The benefits are so extensive that government buildings have relied heavily on security film since 9/11.

Even when they’re locked, windows and glass doors are an open invitation for criminal activity.  Whether the goal is a smash-and-grab robbery or someone trying to get inside, an intruder can strike a pane of glass with a blunt object and gain entry in minutes.

When applied to glass, security film offers a thick, resistant layer that slows criminals down. Upon impact, the film holds the glass in place and stops the shattered pieces from falling to the floor. The film acts as a shield, making criminals work much harder to get inside and more likely to find another target.

As we live in a time where active shooters are a reality, schools, businesses, churches, and other facilities are looking for cost-effective security solutions. When a bullet is fired, glass shatters instantly, and an intruder can gain entry in just seconds.  While security film won’t stop a bullet, it will hold the glass in place upon impact, making it much harder to gain entry.  Past events have shown us that security film slows down active shooters by more than 90 seconds, significantly increasing emergency response time when every second counts. The impact from a bullet also causes the glass to distort, blocking the shooter’s field of vision and giving people inside time to hide.

In the event of a bomb or other explosion, security film offers protection from either side. If an explosion occurs outside the facility, the glass is held in place, protecting everyone inside.  If there is an explosion inside a facility, the film contains the impact, keeping everyone outside safe.

Storms can have devastating effects.  Impact from high winds and trees falling against an unprotected window or glass door can result in significant damage to your facility and injure the people inside. During heavy rains, water will also soon find its way inside through damaged glass and wreak havoc on furnishings and electrical equipment.

High-quality security film offers a sophisticated technology that holds glass in place and adds a resistant layer from outside forces.  Acting as a shield, security film prevents objects from penetrating glass, keeping your establishment safe and everyone inside out of harm’s way.
