SECURITY FILM
Security Window Film in Indianapolis
An additional safety measure for your school, institution, office or storefront. Glass doors and windows are particularly vulnerable to unwanted intruders, but retrofitted security window films can help slow progress. These specialty window films help to protect students, staff, employees and family members by improving the building's glazing security.
Security (or safety) window film is applied to glass doors and windows in the same way as a traditional window film - the adhesive bonds the film and glass together. When an intruder attempts entrance, the film will keep the glass shards in place, rather than simply shattering - and drastically slows progress.
Institutions across the Midwest who prioritized student, staff and employee safety have entrusted SOLARIS to assess vulnerabilities and provide proven solutions, with security window film. We can help you, too.
How Security Film
Buys Time
Security window film delays forced entry, reduces visibility and holds broken glass in place.
Risk of Visibility
They need to be fast...
Security window film makes the intruder spend TOO MUCH TIME trying to break the glass. That risk of visibility increases the chance of being seen by cameras, security personnel, staff or neighbors - eliminating the power of surprise.
Frustration
It takes too long...
When faced with frustration because the glass didn't immediately shatter, many intruders will leave the premises.
TIME
Safely exit and get help
Safety window films slow the progress of intruders, providing staff, employees, students and family members the additional time they need to find safety and call for emergency assistance.
Every second counts.
RESOURCES
INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Secured School Safety Grant Program
Since being signed into law in 2013, the Indiana Secured School Safety Grant (SSSG) Program has served as a critical resource to ensure Hoosier schools are safe and secure. The program has awarded about $133 million in matching grants to Indiana school districts across the state to address potential safety threats and help them prepare. The program supports a dedicated state grant fund that provides matching grants to school corporations, accredited non-public schools, charter schools or a coalition of school corporations.

School Shooting Revealed Glass Door and Window Vulnerabilities.
The Federal Commission on School Safety and the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission report both recommend security window film for schools. Following the Uvalde tragedy, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) mandated safety and security window film in schools. Security window film can help prevent or mitigate mass shootings by delaying forced entry, reducing visibility, and containing spall.

Is security film bulletproof?
No. It holds broken glass together and slows forced entry, buying time for people inside to get safe and call for help. It's one layer of a safety plan, alongside locks, cameras and access control.
How long does installation take?
It depends on how many doors and windows we treat. We schedule around your hours, and schools are usually done over breaks or weekends.
Can grants pay for it?
Often, yes. Indiana schools can use the Secured School Safety Grant, and churches and nonprofits can use the Nonprofit Security Grant. We help with the paperwork.
Will it change how my glass looks?
Clear security films are nearly invisible, so you keep your light and view. Tinted versions can also add privacy and cut heat and glare.
