WESTMINSTER, Md. – Commercial Window Shield has completed an extensive security window film installation project for the Carroll County Public Schools system that will protect its students, teachers and other employees.
The project involved installing 15-mil safety and security film with a wet glaze attachment system to most of the first floor windows and entryways of 23 school buildings. The effort is one of the country’s largest school window safety and security projects to date. The security film covered 2,068 panes or 14,836 sq. ft. of glass and included 22,000 lineal feet of wet glaze attachment.
Carroll schools officials were pleased with the result.
“You did a fine job, and it was a pleasure working with you,” said Duane Williams, supervisor of security and emergency management, in a letter to CWS.
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.
Carroll schools asked for competitive bids, and Commercial Window Shield was awarded the project. Funding was provided from a state grant and the district’s capital improvement fund.
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 275 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 and Bellmore public schools in New York state; 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 projects, 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.
