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

Shatterproof Glass For Vintage Home Remodeling Codes

Security Window Film For There are so many beautiful old homes in the Salt Lake City and a fair number of homes that used to be beautiful but are now just diamonds in the rough waiting to be renovated. And as Salt Lake City sees a rise in economy and an influx of home buyers, these old gems are being remodeled ever more frequently. As a contractor, doing a vintage home remodel can be rewarding but also extremely challenging. This is because it is incredibly difficult to recreate a style from a long time ago without working very hard in the process. The more time you spend on the minute details, the less money you make and balancing that attention to detail with your estimated time is a very difficult balancing act, with little room on either side for mishaps. One especially difficult parts of a vintage home remodel is bringing an old house up to today’s codes. Sometimes you are looking at 50+years of codes that have been simply never been applied to the home you are remodeling! At Salt Lake Window Tinting, we understand the delicate balance between time, effort and pricing when it comes to the contractor end of vintage home restoration, which is why we offer an alternative to a common problem encountered in the process involving a vintage home’s glass and that is–shatter proofing with security film.

Security Window Film Instead Of Shatterproof Glass

As you well know, many, if not all of the glass features in a vintage home are unsafe because they break in large, dangerous sheets of jagged glass rather than today’s glass which shatters into small, safe, pebble like pieces. As such, the building codes of today require shatterproof glass in areas of high breakage risk such as bathroom doors. This scenario also arises when there are windows along stairs and at the end of each landing. Totally replacing the glass in all the areas of the house that require safety glass is expensive, time-consuming and many owners don’ want the original glass to be removed. The answer to this conundrum is–security window film. Today’s security window film is approved to satisfy the code requirements for windows in “hazardous areas”. Additionally, it is significantly less expensive than total replacement and takes a fraction of the time. Best of all, you get to keep an original feature of the vintage house intact, giving it that much more of an antique look and feel.

If you are a contractor or vintage homeowner in the Salt Lake City area and are looking into security window film instead of window replacement for building code adherence, contact us today!
