Changing Face of School Security an Allegion podcast with Devin BowmanIn this episode of Paul Timm’s podcast – The Changing Face of School Security, he talks with Devin Bowman of TGP about the important role that glass plays in school security.

S1 Ep. 25 Beyond the Door: How Glass Shapes School Security, and the Codes that Bind Them

While a properly locked door may be at the forefront of the conversations surrounding school safety solutions, glass plays a significant role in the foundations of security.

Though it may seem intuitive, not all applications demand the same type of glass. In this episode, Devin Bowman of Technical Glass Products (TGP) and AD Systems covers different types of glass used in schools, including annealed, tempered, wired, laminated, and acrylic. Tempered and laminated glass are more commonly used in schools today.

More episode highlights include:

  • Building codes and standards outlining the appropriate glass products for school safety and security
  • Technology-based evolutions to commonly used solutions
  • The importance of collaboration between the glass industry, architects, administrators, and first responders to make informed decisions about school security measures
