The Importance of Installing Window Film in Salt Lake City Hospitals For Safety

Window film Makes Salt Lake City Hospitals More Safe And Comfortable

Hospitals in Salt Lake City are so very important to our community and a place where those the sick and enfeebled are able to heal to hopefully thrive once more. They also house some of the finest doctors, nurses and administration staff in the entire state of Utah. This is why safety for hospitals is a big deal and something for administrators to take a hard look at considering all those in their care. One simple way to add a significant amount of safety to a hospital building is safety and security window film. The benefits from safety and security window film are both numerous and profound. Read below to find out just how window film is able to make hospitals here in Salt Lake City a safe place for people to thrive.

The Safety And Security Benefits Of Window Film For Salt Lake City Hospitals

Bomb and Bullet Resistance: The chances of a gun or bomb attack on a hospital in Salt Lake City is fairly slim BUT, we also live in a time where this type of violence happens seemingly a random all too often. Preparing for the worst case scenario, like a bomb or gun attack is always a good idea and therefore, should be a consideration for any commercial space–hospitals included.

UV Protection: One of the most potent and harmful hazards to the health of skin and eyes shine right through windows onto patients and staff–UV rays. Window film blocks the detrimental rays of the sun, giving the equivalent of 1000 SPF, while still allowing in natural light which helps patients recover faster.

Accident Mitigation: Slip and falls into glass windows, doors and other glass fixtures at hospitals are very common in hospitals because of the advanced age and poor health of the patients. A way to mitigate the damage done by breaking glass is to have window film applied–which will then act much like tempered safety glass; causing the glass to fracture into tiny pieces and stay adhered to the film.

Natural Disaster Protection: Natural disasters and severe storms happen all the time here in Utah and with them comes a lot of damage. First among these potentially dangerous side effects from natural disasters is–broken glass. It often hurts and kills people during storms. Safety and security window film protects by keeping glass, stuck to the film and within the frame, which stops it from flying around and hurting people–or worse.

The Importance of Installing Ballistic Resistant Window Film In Salt Lake City’s Government Buildings

October 18, 2018 in Aggrigate, Safety And Security Window Film

Why Salt Lake City Government Buildings Need Security Window Film

To understand the constant threat that government buildings are up against on a regular basis, the very least of which is a gunman attack, you need not look any further than Google.  The Google results for “threats against government buildings” are prolific and each one is a reminder that some of our most at-risk areas here in Salt Lake and most other cities in the US are our municipal and government buildings.  This puts our government employees at risk for injury and death from these attacks, whether they foreign or homegrown terrorists wielding a gun. Sadly this type of ballistic violence has little if nothing to do with them personally–which is why protecting government employees here in Salt Lake against bullets and even bombs is a high priority before these threats are realized.  A powerful and cost-effective way to do this is with ballistics resistant window film, which, when installed correctly is virtually bulletproof and an excellent way to keep government employees safe in the event of a terrorist gun attack and the resulting collateral damage too.

How Ballistic Resistant Window Film Protects From Harm

Bullet Resistant window film is a great way to reduce the risk of glass-related injuries and damage during a gun attack.  It reinforces windows and holds glass together even after the high-velocity impact of a bullet. The window film does this through a few different mechanisms. First, the window film is bonded to the window’s surface with a high-tech adhesive called C-bond that actually increases the flexibility of glass and uses nanotechnology to make it strong.  Second, the window film itself acts as a casing for the glass so even after it is struck multiple times by bullets, the glass stays adhered behind the film. Lastly, the entire piece of glass window or door is secured around the edges with an advanced and powerful framing system. This prevents the entire window from giving way and crashing in, should a terrorist ballistics threat come to fruition.  

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
