School Safety Is A Priority

More Info & FAQs On School Window Films

Benefits of Security Window Films for Schools

Tragically, schools and universities have been subject to shootings and violent attacks in recent years. In turn, reinforcing school safety and security is a top priority for today’s educational facilities. This has made precautionary measures like security window film a beacon amidst a time of urgency. Next to employing trained personnel and other conventional security measures, school window film is one of the best ways to increase the safety and security of students, teachers, and administrative staff at any educational institution.

While clear glass windows allow natural light in, if left untreated, they can be ineffective at keeping intruders out. Window Film Depot provides a number of options to optimize and reinforce one of the weakest point of entry in a school: glass windows and doors. Anti-shatter and active shooter mitigation products from BulletShield, DefenseLite, and 3M can be the best investment an educational facility can make in deterring aggressors from accessing school buildings and classrooms.

In addition to armed aggressors, most schools are subject to damaging weather, such as wind storms, snow storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. During such occurrences, airborne objects can break untreated glass windows, resulting in dangerous shards traveling at high velocities. One of the major benefits of safety and security window film is its ability to maintain integrity and prevent shattering, thereby protecting students and faculty from flying glass.

Heat & Energy Efficiency Benefits of School Window Film

Beyond protection from threats—both natural and man-made—NGS Films and Graphics offers school window film solutions that deliver a wide range of benefits:

  • Reduced Hot Spots: Afternoon sun can cause uncomfortable temperature spikes of 20–30 degrees. NGS solar control films minimize these hot spots, creating a more comfortable and focused learning environment.

  • Lower Energy Costs: By blocking excess heat in summer and retaining warmth in winter (with options like Low-E film), NGS solutions help schools save on HVAC costs year-round.

  • UV Protection: Our films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays—helping protect students, staff, and school interiors from sun damage and fading.

  • Glare Reduction: Reduce screen glare and enhance classroom visibility, especially during peak daylight hours, improving comfort and productivity.

  • Temperature Control: Consistent indoor temperatures support both energy efficiency and a healthier academic setting.

At NGS Films and Graphics, we specialize in security window films for schools—tailored to meet safety codes and aesthetic preferences. From threat protection to climate control, our experts can help you design the right solution for your campus.

Does window film meet state school safety requirements?

Yes. NGS installs security window films that comply with mandates like Florida HB 1421 and Texas School Safety Standards. We also help school leaders navigate compliance and documentation during procurement.

What kind of window film is best for school security?

For most K-12 schools, we recommend 4–15 mil safety and security film combined with an anchoring system. For higher-risk environments, NGS can install ballistic-resistant systems, such as TRI-SHIELD™ or Riot Glass™. 

Can this be funded through school safety grants?

Absolutely. NGS provides full support with identifying eligible grants and building compliant proposals. We’ve helped over 300 districts secure funding to install window film with little to no out-of-pocket cost. 

How long does installation take?

Our installation timeline depends on the project size, but it is typically fast and non-disruptive. Many schools complete security film upgrades during breaks or off-hours. NGS manages the process from site assessment through final walk-through.
