Government buildings are among the most threatened in the Fort Collins but bullet resistance window film is a way to keep them protected.

Ballistics-Resistant Security Window Film For Fort Collins Government Buildings

 

To get a grasp on the constant threat that government buildings are under almost every day ( the very least of which is an attack with a gun) all you need to do is look on Google.  The Google results for “threats against government buildings” are copious and each one reminds us that our government buildings here in Fort Collins and across the US are real and looming. This essentially means our government employees at risk for injury and death from potential attacks, whether from foreign or homegrown terrorists wielding a gun.   Sadly, violence of this nature has little or nothing to do with them personally. So in order to keep our government employees safe, who are really just doing their jobs, safe protecting them against bullets and even bombs before an attack comes to fruition, should be a high priority. One powerful and cost-effective way to do this is with ballistics resistant window film.  When installed correctly these incredibly thin films are practically bulletproof and a good way to keep government employees safe in the event of a terrorist gun attack and protect them and the building against the resulting collateral damage too.

 

How Ballistic Resistant Window Film Protects Fort Collins Government Employees From Harm

 

Bullet Resistant window film is a strong defense in order to reduce the risk of glass-related injuries, deaths by bullet and damage during a gun attack.  It does more than just reinforces windows–it holds glass together even after the high-velocity impact of a bullet.  The window film works in a number of ways to do this and with a few different added mechanisms. First, the window film is adhered to the window’s surface with a high-tech adhesive called C-bond which increases the flexibility of glass and uses nanotechnology to make it stronger.  Second, the window film itself acts as a sort of casing so even when it is struck multiple times by bullets, the glass stays adhered to the film layer. Lastly, the edges of the glass windows or doors are installed into an advanced and powerful framing system that prevents the entire window from giving way.  Should a terrorist ballistics threat come to fruition, with a system like the one above–our Fort Collins government employees are about as protected as they can be.

All of these engineered parts work together to:

 

  • Reduce risks from impact energy
  • Stop bullets with hyper-tear-resistance
  • Helps prevent glass shards from becoming lethal projectiles
  • Lower your buildings operational downtime after an attack
  • Stop attackers from entering the building for precious seconds

Another great benefit of these high-velocity strike systems is they work just as well against bomb blasts, natural disasters, and accidents like slip and falls–so the protection ubiquitous. .For more information on bullet-resistant window film for your Fort Collins government or commercial building, contact us at Scottish Window Tinting for a free window safety evaluation today!
