SUBURBAN PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL DISTRICT AWARDS 19-BUILDING GLASS PROTECTION PROJECT TO CWS
LANSDALE, Pa. Continuing its significant role in the school safety market, Commercial Window Shield has been awarded a glass protection contract by North Penn School District in suburban Philadelphia.
The contract involves installing security window film on 18 school buildings and one education services building one of the country’s largest school glass protection projects to date. North Penn is the state’s 7th largest school district.
Project specifications call for 8-mil safety and security film with a wet glaze attachment system to be installed on all building entryways and vulnerable first-floor windows. In all, over 10,000 square feet of window security film will be installed on more than 1,600 panes of glass.
Commercial Window Shield was the lowest bidder on the project, which originally stipulated that a nationally known brand of film be used. However, CWS engineers recommended an equivalent film with significant savings and no loss of glass protection. Post-analysis, North Penn officials approved the alternative security window film.
Work begins this week and will be completed by Sept. 30.
The North Penn project continues a national trend in which school districts are acting to protect their buildings from potential violent intruders. The North Penn project brings Commercial Window Shield’s school building glass protection count to 100 since 2013.
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, Hartford and Simsbury school districts in Connecticut; and Henry County in Virginia.
With more than 30 years experience, Commercial Window Shield is the nation’s leading security and solar window film installer. Among its many projects, the company has protected windows at the U.S. Capitol, Pentagon, and all House of Representative buildings, O’Hare International Airport, the Willis Tower [former Sears Tower], Denver and Philadelphia mints, Grand Central Terminal and George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.
