Good morning Jeanni,?

This is a great question!? Each of our meeting room spaces in our Campus Center has a slim window, so a few years back, we added some frosting on them.? I honestly don’t know the tier level, but you are not able to see through them.? We spoke with our campus police and they shared with us, that it’s up to us if we want to keep it on there or not.? We like it for the safety and security, but it also makes it hard because we can’t see in the space to see if someone is in there using it.??

Good morning friends,

Do any of your facilities use  a tiered approach to glazing windows/doors for security ?  We are looking at adding security glaze to windows in classrooms but I’m looking for any suggestions, best practices around which tier works best and for what spaces. I appreciate any and all suggestions, advice, and thoughts.  

Thank you.

Thank you, Chrissie. I believe we were initially looking at the glazing for transparency/privacy as well. But come to find out there are shatter proof features with each tier. Not sure if we need them- but wanted to see what others with experience might have to say. Again, Chrissie, thanks for weighing in.

You may want to consider a frosting effect that covers most of the window, but not 100% of the view,? for looking in,? but also for looking out.? Consider a visible margin around the edge of the frame.

If you completely block the view,? you have no means to monitor the nature of the activity happening inside the room AND if someone were in the room due to a perpetrator outside the space, you’ve taken away their ability to peek outside to assess safety.?

Context may help decide this – is it public common spaces, meeting rooms or individual private offices? In the first two, you have a right to know what’s happening within spaces you manage.?
