3M School Security Film Case Study Summary

Real-life applications are one of the best ways to understand how window film can be powerful in Nashville schools. Case studies observe window film usage in actual educational settings, which allows you to see why and how it was done. The school security window film case study below is a great example that illustrates how window film protects students not only in Nashville but around the nation.

3M School Security Window Film Case Study Situation

Due to the recent increase in school shootings, many schools are focusing on reinforcing their security measures. Glass windows and doors tend to be the weakest points of a building’s security, so they should be addressed first. However, sadly, Jewish organizations need to take extra precautions against potential threats. This is why a security consultant (and former FBI agent) suggested that Jewish schools look into window film solutions as added protection against guns and bombs.

The search for better security measures led the Jewish Schools to decide on 3M’s Scotchshield Safety & Security Window Film. They chose it because it was both cost-effective and appeared to be the best option available. A local school then installed an impact-resistant window film system that included a specialty adhesive holding broken glass together in case of a bullet hit and delaying anyone from breaking into the school through a window.

The results of the school’s new film were astonishing. The administrators love that it is impossible to see, meaning potential attackers would never know it was there. It also ended up being the cheapest and most effective solution to secure the glass windows and doors around the building. Students and faculty can finally have peace of mind knowing their school is guarded against gun violence threats.
