Enhanced Security for Sharonville Campus Access
This project involved applying Madico Safety Shield 1500 security window film to 7 windows across 192 sqft of a school campus in Sharonville, Ohio. The primary goal was to fortify the front entryway, creating a significant barrier against potential forced entry and enhancing overall campus safety.
How Security Film Works
Security window film functions by bonding to the glass and holding shattered pieces together. Even if the glass breaks upon impact, the film acts as a restraint, preventing the glass from immediately falling out. This is particularly important in deterring smash-and-grab tactics or delaying entry during critical events. The Madico Safety Shield 1500 is a 15-mil thick film, chosen for its robust performance in holding broken glass, thereby extending the time required for unauthorized access.
Strengthening Entry Points
The front entryway of the school was identified as a key area requiring enhanced security. By applying the 15-mil Madico Safety Shield film, the integrity of these windows was significantly increased. This type of film is designed not to make glass unbreakable, but to create a substantial delay for anyone attempting to break through. This delay provides crucial extra time for security responses.
Film Application and Benefits
Our trained technicians meticulously applied the Madico Safety Shield film, ensuring a clean, clear, and durable finish. The application process for security films requires precision to maximize their effectiveness. Beyond the enhanced security against forced entry, thicker safety films can also offer secondary benefits such as improved weather resistance and some reduction in solar heat gain, contributing to a more stable interior environment.
