Nashville Ballistic Film: A Critical Layer of Protection from Active Shooters

Sadly, active shooters are a reality in our country today. They are in our nation’s schools, workplaces, churches, medical facilities, and business establishments. Year after year we hear the details of terrifying accounts, and we’ve been shocked and deeply saddened. During these unsettling times, concern grows for our children, family, friends, and coworkers. 


In an active shooter situation, every second counts. Response time is critical, and any way to slow down an intruder can save lives. At Solar Insulation Window Films , we furnish and install ballistic window films that offer a layer of resistance upon impact, significantly increasing the amount of time it takes an intruder to get inside.


If you're searching for security window film, ballistic, blast proof, or a bulletproof glass install for schools; or school safety grants, contact us today.

The Benefits of Ballistic Window Films

When an active shooter fires at a window, glass shatters instantly, and the intruder is inside in seconds. A ballistic film application uses sophisticated technology to prevent glass from shattering, making the intruder work much harder to gain entry. This added layer of protection slows down the active shooter and allows emergency response teams more time to arrive at the scene and defuse the situation. Demonstrations show that ballistic film slows active shooters down by more than 90 seconds. 

Ballistic film also acts as a deterrent against intruders, offers maximum protection against shattered glass from explosions and storms, protects you from harmful sun exposure, and is cost-effective. The applications are so great that the military and government have used ballistic films extensively since 9/11.

Solar Insulation Window Films: Upgrading Security in Nashville Area Schools & Businesses with Ballistic Window Film

Active shooters target areas that are confined and heavily populated, such as schools and workplaces. They also look for an easy way to gain entry, like through a window or glass door. All it takes is one shot, the glass shatters, and they are inside. It’s a moment.

History shows us that active shooters do not discriminate between establishments that are open to the public and those that are closed. They’ve struck schools and colleges, companies, government buildings, hospitals and many other facilities. Having security at entrance points and using key fobs just isn’t enough anymore. You need to secure your windows and doors.
