Cherry Creek School District Awards Nation’s Largest School Security Film Project to Epic Security & Architectural Films

Cherry Creek’s evidence-backed process confirmed Epic and 3M’s S2400 solution as the top-performing choice for intrusion resistance and student safety.

AURORA, CO, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cherry Creek School District No. 5, one of Colorado’s most highly regarded and accomplished school systems, has awarded its district-wide school security window film project to Epic Security & Architectural Window Films and Graphics (Epic). The award marks the largest school security window film project ever undertaken in Colorado—and the largest of its kind in the United States.

Cherry Creek’s decision followed a rigorous selection process that included advanced field testing for ballistic and impact resistance. Epic’s installation of 3M™ Scotchshield™ Security Window Film S2400 significantly outperformed competing products, providing the district with clear evidence that the solution will deliver the safety and long-term value it required.

A key factor in the decision was Epic’s proprietary installation of 3M’s Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) system, which anchors the film to window and door frames to hold broken glass in place and reduce the risk of flying glass shards. While other products failed to maintain the integrity of the security film and glass, Epic’s IPA installation ensured the film’s full protective performance. Few districts nationwide conduct this level of testing, a reflection of Cherry Creek’s data-driven, evidence-based approach to protecting its students and staff.

Cherry Creek’s decision reflects the same high standards it applies across academics, athletics, and operations. By conducting rigorous testing and requiring proven performance, the district ensured its investment in security would meet the same level of excellence that defines its classrooms and community. “That diligence is exactly why this partnership is so meaningful,” said Chris Eder, Chief Visionary Officer of Epic. “Cherry Creek demanded evidence, and the results showed that our installation process with 3M’s S2400 and IPA system provides unmatched protection. It’s a standard we’re proud to deliver on.”

About The Technology
The film selected to protect the Cherry Creek School District is 3M™ Scotchshield™ Security Window Film S2400, which features a polyurethane design that provides greater tear strength and elongation over PET films of similar thickness, enabling it to absorb impact to resist tearing. Properly installed with 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant as a key component of the system, it helps increase security, provides extra response time for authorities, and helps to prevent flying glass shards. Optically clear and UL972 tested, it strengthens doors and windows without compromising aesthetics. “Cherry Creek’s rigorous evaluation affirmed what our research has shown — that the 3M™ Scotchshield™ Security Window Film S2400 provides the strength, flexibility, and clarity that customers are requesting to support delayed entry,” said Tony Adleta, Architectural Markets- National Sales Manager, 3M Transportation and Electronics Business Group. “We’re proud to partner with Epic to bring this innovation to one of the nation’s most respected school districts, helping protect students and staff while preserving the welcoming environment of their campuses.”
