How Does Bomb Blast Window Film Protect Schools?

It’s a disturbing and extremely upsetting fact of life that schools are the target of a disproportionately high number of domestic and foreign terror attacks. It’s also a fact that simply wishing for attacks on schools to end will do nothing to solve the problem. It’s necessary and vitally important, therefore, for schools to take responsibility for their own safety and security. Practicing drills and posting security guards are both strong places to start, but neither of these will be effective in case of an explosion.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the benefits of installing bomb blast window film for Denver schools.

How Does Bomb Blast Window Film Work?

On their own, most windows are simply no match for the extreme pressure, heat, and shock waves generated by a nearby explosion. If a bomb is detonated nearby, traditional windows are by and large as good as nonexistent. Even worse, actually, because an explosion can turn a window into a bullet-like spray of dangerous glass shards.

Bomb blast window film is a protective layer that can be retrofitted to a school’s windows. In the case of an explosion, this reinforcing material can be relied upon to keep the window’s glass in place, preventing it from turning into lethal shrapnel.

Installing Bomb Blast Window Film in Denver Schools

What does the installation process actually look like? It’s much simpler than you might at first believe.

The first step will be for an installation expert to perform a professional assessment of the school’s windows and overall security.
