Carroll County Schools Retains CWS for Security Window Film Project on 23 Buildings
WESTMINSTER, Md. – The Carroll County Public School district has hired Commercial Window Shield to install safety and security film in its school buildings to secure the glass and protect its students, teachers and other employees.
The project will involve installing 15-mil safety and security glass with a wet glaze attachment system to most of the fist floor windows and entryways of 23 school buildings. When completed, it will be one of the country’s largest school window safety and security projects, covering 2,068 panes or 14,836 sq. ft. of glass and 22,000 lineal feet of wet glaze attachment.
Commercial Window Shield attracted the school district’s interest after learning about the company’s successful safety and security project at nearby Calvert County Public Schools. Calvert officials endorsed Commercial Window Shield’s expertise and capabilities to Carroll officials, who asked the company to help them develop the specifications for their project.
The project was competitively bid, with Commercial Window Shield the low bidder. Funding will come from a state grant and the district’s capital improvement fund. The project will begin July 1 and will be completed sometime in the fall.
The Carroll project continues a national trend in which school districts are acting to protect their buildings from potential violent intruders with the installation of safety and security window film. Including Carroll, Commercial Window Shield has protected the glass in nearly 250 school buildings in nine states.
Elsewhere, the company has completed safety and security film projects at Geneva, Minooka and Lake Zurich school districts in suburban Chicago; Calvert County [Md.] Public Schools; Bath Local Schools, near Lima, Ohio; Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools, N.Y.; Glastonbury and Simsbury school districts in Connecticut; Henry County in Virginia; Beaverton, Ore.; Lansdale, Pa.; and Rockwall and Katy, Texas.
With more than 30 years experience, Commercial Window Shield is one of the nation’s leading safety and security, and solar control window film installers. Among its scores of protects, the company has protected windows at the U.S. Capitol, FBI headquarters, Pentagon, all House of Representative buildings, O’Hare International Airport, the Willis Tower [former Sears Tower], Denver Mint, Grand Central Terminal and George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.
