How effective are security films in protecting schools, retail storefronts, and commercial buildings from forced entry and impact-related threats? In this critical test, we evaluate three security film thicknesses—8 mil, 14 mil, and 24.6 mil—using the ASTM-F3561 Impactor Portion Test to measure their ability to withstand forced-entry attempts.

We're proud to announce that we're the authorized dealer-installer of Invisicade! Their retrofit glazing security solution, Crisis-Shield CS-650, is quite impressive: ??

A big thank you to RTM Business Group for a well-organized conference and superintendent forum in Atlanta, GA. The 3 day event was filled with valuable discussions & great networking.

Security films are effective when used in the right context but should not be marketed as “bulletproof” solutions. Or, in the words of our CEO, James Beale, “if you took the brakes off a Chevy Malibu and put it on a Porsche and raced it, the brakes would fail. That doesn’t mean the brakes don’t work.” Window Film Magazine https://hubs.ly/Q038nDfk0

We're excited to announce our exclusive partnership with Invisicade, making NGS the nationally authorized dealer and installer of their innovative retrofit glazing products. This collaboration brings cutting-edge security and energy efficiency solutions to schools, retailers, and commercial facilities across the nation. https://hubs.ly/Q037-DRb0

We're so proud to have helped saved the lives of thousands of birds by installing Feather Friendly? Bird Collision Deterrent Markers at the McCormick center in Chicago. ?? https://hubs.ly/Q034LFk90

??? A Record-Breaking 95% Reduction in Bird Collisions! ??? ? It’s official: McCormick Place has gone from being a collision hotspot to a global leader in bird-safe design, thanks to our markers. To be precise, there has been a 95% reduction in bird collisions compared to previous years! ? “The 18 deaths at Lakeside Center this fall compare with 1,280 in fall 2023 and 771 in fall 2022.”?- Dave Willard, Field Museum Ornithologist ? Why is this critical? ? ?? From 1,280 fatalities to just 18 in one year means a significant rise in successful migrations ?? This is a game-changing milestone for urban wildlife conservation. ? What’s next? This project has now become a benchmark in bird collision mitigation, and many large buildings are now lining up to become bird-safe. ? Several have even asked us for the “same thing that you used for McCormick”, which, as you might already have guessed, is our Large-scale Pro Markers: https://lnkd.in/gg9bJVZT ? This is not the time to rest on laurels, however. We are preparing ourselves to treat every bit of glass that exists. Here are just a few of the many news reports doing the rounds: ??? https://lnkd.in/gmsryFcR ??? https://lnkd.in/gD4ZpUrs ??? https://lnkd.in/gvKc5V34 ??? https://lnkd.in/gDHPCQJV ??? https://lnkd.in/g-HJbyh6 ? #conservation #savebirds #featherfriendly #sustainability #Chicago
