Bomb Blast

Protection at the Next Level

Government buildings and schools are often the recipients of bomb threats. Texas has the second-highest occurrences of bomb threats in the U.S., based on an ATF Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives statistic. These threats create significant anxiety in the buildings and community. Bomb-resistant impact protection and shatterproof anti-tear safety film mitigate such threats. Specifically engineered for blast resistance, the C‑Bond BRS system helps hold broken glass intact on impact. As most injuries are related to flying glass shards, the C‑Bond BRS system is an industry-specific application of multi-layers of 15-mil tear-resistant film and a technologically enhanced window adhesive solution. When applied in a consistent step-by-step process, the system helps increase security and provide added protection against bomb blast.

Since schools and government buildings are at high risk for such attacks, solutions for safety precautions need to be within established budgets. The C‑Bond BRS is a cost-effective alternative to polycarbonate or laminated security glass. The system achieves impressive blast-resistant testing results by strengthening the glass at an atomic level before applying security films. The C‑Bond Secure adhesive solution hardens glass to deter or slow down unlawful intruders and hinder forced entry attempts. Keeping our school-age children and government officials and sensitive materials safe and protected are America’s top priorities. Patriot Glass Solutions takes on the responsibility of bringing these solutions to schools and government facilities at a budget-controlled cost.

Shootings

Keeping Schools and Government Buildings Safe

Working in two industries where shootings are prevalent comes with added responsibility for safety precautions. The Washington Post indicates that since the Columbine shooting in 1999, more than 292,000 US students have been exposed to a school shooting. Also, statistics reported by the FBI show that government and educational buildings comprise 30% of all active shooter incidents from 2000 to 2018. The continued school shootings emphasize that bullet-resistant systems are necessary for schools today. At the same time, recent threats to the government remind us that state and office buildings may also require added security. Protecting the establishment’s windows and doors with C‑Bond BRS ballistic-resistant security film provides renowned shooter protection.

Ballistic resistant window tint places parents’ and employees’ minds at ease, knowing the building is almost impenetrable. With the C‑Bond BRS system installed on all entry and exit points in K-12, college campuses, state buildings, courthouses, police stations, and daycare centers, inhabitants stay safe, and communities in-whole feel safer. Scientifically tested and verified to withstand multiple shots, the C‑Bond BRS commercial window tinting system shows zero penetration under direct gunfire. Respectively, holding off numerous shots provides crucial time to get children or employees to safety during a threat in progress. C‑Bond products repeatedly demonstrate the ability to protect human lives under gunfire, violent attacks, and rioting. The C‑Bond BRS system slows down shooter entry allowing time for police officers to arrive on the scene.

Hardening Glass and Increasing Flexibility to Elevate Government Employee Safety

Government buildings often have many windows. Yet, numerous buildings also have historical significance. These buildings require special historical preservation accommodations by the General Services Administration GSA to enhance window security. Additionally, there are also safety guidelines for federal employee’s safety. Keeping in mind such precautions, C‑Bond BRS meets the GSA’s retrofit security window film standards. The ballistic resistant system controls impact from bomb blasts and projectiles.

Furthermore, the patented adhesive solution forms a more secure bond with the window film and the glass. The stronger glass-to-film bond keeps broken glass shards safely in place after impact. Eliminating flying glass shards reduces injury and risk significantly for all employees and visitors inside the building.

C‑Bond BRS has a unique one-way ballistic capacity. This one-way ballistic capacity allows us to boost unique advantages for better employee safety. For example, in the case of keeping employees safe, this feature means two things. First, under gunfire, an intruder may be shot at from inside, but not be able to shoot into the building. Secondly, for safety during a fire or other emergency where exiting through a window may be necessary, patrons can still break the window from the inside to escape. In a dangerous situation or under unlawful attack, these two unique advantages have the means to save many lives.

Confidential Proceedings and Classified Documents Need Privacy Window Tint

Covert proceedings and classified documents require strict confidentiality. Sometimes staying safe inside a building also calls for privacy. Applying a privacy window film can restrict viewing of who and what is happening inside the room. Great for conference and meeting rooms, tinted privacy window film comes in multiple shades. You may also explore decorative film to keep the overall integrity of the building’s aesthetics while maintaining confidentiality. For exterior windows in the public’s view or interior windows in private offices, such films eliminate the need for closing blinds and feelings of being closed in or hidden from view. Create comfort with various window films for different degrees of isolation. You can use the C‑Bond Secure adhesive solution with any of these films to increase glass strength and enhance the film’s adhesive properties.

Protecting yourself from the public eye can be integral to safety protocols for government and federal buildings. Also, government officials should take extra safety precautions to protect classified documents and proceedings. Create a safe and unique meeting space by installing tinted, mirrored, frosted, or decorative privacy window film on windows and doors of meeting rooms.

Additional Benefits of Office Window Film

Increase Cost Savings to Your Budget

Reduce harmful UV rays to lower replacement costs

Government buildings often come with a prestigious interior, including furnishings, art, and decor. Harmful UV rays fade furniture, art, decor, drapery, and even carpets. However, window films often have UV protection. UV protection can lower replacement costs. Replacement carpet throughout a large building becomes very costly, for instance. Similarly, replacing antique and luxury furnishings often falls outside budget guidelines. Rest easy that your furniture and decor last longer with UV protection. Installing such films spares you the expense of replacing these items ahead of their time.

Lower energy expenses

Further, using energy-saving film lowers initial energy costs by helping to eliminate hot and cold spots throughout the building. Eliminating the high and low temperatures increase building comfort and raises productivity levels. Increased productivity creates high performance and keeps your employee’s attention on their tasks increasing productivity per hour. Furthermore, you’ll see reduced energy prices that provide cost savings in your overhead and overall budget plan over time.

Getting more for your money, increase productivity

Lastly, solar control film provides glare reduction and increases natural light raising employees’ overall productivity. Consequently, the increase in natural lighting also significantly reduces common office complaints revolving around poor lighting, such as eye strain and headaches. Window tint comes in various shades and can significantly reduce glare while allowing natural light into the room.
