School & Church Security Window Film in Indiana
Glass doors and windows are the weakest point in most buildings. SOLARIS security film holds broken glass together and slows forced entry, giving people inside and first responders more time. It's clear, keeps your natural light, and is installed over school breaks or around your schedule.
What security film does
• Holds shattered glass in the frame instead of letting it fall away
• Slows anyone trying to break through entry doors, sidelights and ground-floor windows
• Reduces injuries from flying glass during storms, accidents or break-ins
• Stays nearly invisible, so classrooms and sanctuaries keep their light and views
• Solar safety films are also available for added privacy and energy efficiency
Security film is not bulletproof glass. It is one layer of a safety plan, alongside locks, cameras and access control.
Paying for it: grants
Indiana schools: Secured School Safety Grant. Public school corporations, charter schools and accredited private schools can apply for up to $100,000. A local match is required, from 25% to 100% depending on school size and grant amount. The most recent application window ran June 1–30, 2026; expect the next one around June 2027. Indiana schools have used this grant to pay for SOLARIS security film.
Churches, synagogues and nonprofits: Nonprofit Security Grant Program. This federal program lists shatter-resistant and blast-mitigation window film as an allowable cost. Recent rounds have funded up to about $150,000 per site. You apply through your state's homeland security office, which sets its own deadline, usually in spring.
