GOVERNMENT
Just like in commercial businesses and residential houses, windows are all around us; and government buildings are no different. And for the many regulations and requirements that government buildings need to meet, S&T can take at least one thing off your mind— the window film! Whether it’s security film for courthouses and police stations, or privacy film for offices and conference rooms, S&T can be of service. S&T’s got it covered!

See below for a few examples of codes and regulations S&T can help satisfy
(this list is not exhaustive, if you have any questions about other regulations we can help with, see the contact page).
Section 2406 - SAFETY GLAZING
S&T offers many window film options to satisfy safety glazing requirements for the Washington State Building Code (2018). The thickness of affective safety film usually ranges from 8 mil to 14 mil, and which one is right for your building depends on the risk level of the surrounding environment. Any of the mils in this range will qualify your glass as ‘tempered’.
Low threat environments: Buildings in more secluded areas and gated facilities. 8 mil will bring your windows up to spec and provide sufficient protection from threats.
High-threat environments: Buildings in central urban locations and facilities in cities downtown. 14 mil will bring your windows up to spec and provide a high-level of protection from threats.
It is important to keep in mind that there is no window film that prevents breakage if your windows are attacked and damaged. The glass will still break, however, entry of the assailant will be severely delayed, and in some cases even prevented altogether. If your building is in a particularly high-risk environment for glass vandalism or you’ve already replaced the glass multiple times, Defenselite might be a better solution.
