Security Glazing Solutions

Security Glazing Solutions

Threat level drives the right choice: forced entry, bullet-resistant,
or laminated safety glazing. Our teams help you balance protection,
aesthetics, and budget on every project to deliver effective
security solutions.

Safety is No Longer an Add-On. It’s the Baseline.

Eight in ten architects expect safety to play a bigger role in design over the next three years. Safety & Security in Design, our research report with the AIA, reveals how architects are moving beyond “fortress” hardening toward layered, open, welcoming security, and what it means for the products they specify.

Safety is No Longer an Add-On. It’s the Baseline.

Bullet-Resistant Glass

Laminated glass can be designed to resist attacks by a wide range of weapons. There are many standards and test methods available. Almost all of these have two main requirements:

  1. the glazing must resist penetration by a specified bullet and

  2. the spall or flying shards of glass leaving the rear face, as a result of the impact, must be eliminated.

Bullet-resistant laminated glass can meet both of these requirements. Our experts can help you navigate options, and understand whether bullet-resistant glass (not bulletproof glass – there is no such thing) is a viable option for your project.

Bullet-Resistant Glass

Understanding Complete System Resilience

Not all security glass, or film, is created equal. While bullet-resistant glass stops a bullet, ASTM F3561 ensures the entire system - frame, glass, and hardware - holds together after bullet impact to keep intruders out. We provide a detailed overview into the new ‘Active Shooter Standard’ so you can specify complete systems that prevent entry and keep students safe.
