Sadly, violent school invasions are on the increase in America’s school districts. As a result, hundreds of school districts are upgrading security in their buildings. Among the security measures school districts are implementing is the installation of safety and security window films on lower level glass fronts and entryways.
Commercial Window Shield has been the go-to security window installation company for our nation’s schools from the beginning. To date, we’ve protected hundreds of buildings and thousands of students, faculty and staff.
Educational buildings often contain extensive glass throughout classrooms, entrances, administrative offices, libraries, gymnasiums and common areas.

School districts, often supported by state school safety grants or local school safety bond measures, frequently turn to safety and security window film installation to help. These films:
The installation of these safety & security window films has an additional benefit of keeping glass in place if students, faculty and staff are in the building during a sudden high-wind weather event such as a tornado or hurricane. Shattered glass shards propelled by a violent wind becomes a dangerous weapon with potentially devastating results.
Window film installation in educational environments requires careful planning, coordination, and execution. Projects are sometimes completed in occupied buildings during limited scheduling windows, or alongside larger renovation and security initiatives. More common, safety and security window film installation takes place during a school district’s summer break of on average two months. In this case, tight and strict deadlines are automatically set in motion.

We have extensive experience delivering safety and security window film solutions to school districts nationwide. Our management and installation team works closely with administrators, facility managers, architects, and contractors to ensure projects are completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to daily operations and according to project specifications and budget.
