Laminated Product Detail

Bullet Resistant Glass

Bullet resistant glass is built by laminating multiple layers of glass and specialist interlayers to absorb and disperse ballistic energy. It is intended for high-security applications where visibility and protection against forced entry or ballistic attack are both required.

Security GlazingBallistic ResistanceForced-Entry Protection
Bullet resistant laminated glass
Specified for high-risk environments where performance is driven by threat level, visibility needs, and operational security.

Overview

Bullet resistant glass is a specialist laminated product designed to resist penetration and maintain a protective barrier after impact. Different thicknesses and configurations can be produced to suit different performance demands and threat conditions.

In addition to ballistic resistance, these assemblies can help protect against smash-and-grab attacks and other security-driven threats where standard glazing would not be appropriate.

Key benefits

  • Engineered to resist different levels of ballistic impact depending on specification.
  • Helps maintain a barrier after impact, reducing the chance of penetration.
  • Provides added protection against forced-entry and smash-and-grab attacks.
  • Maintains visibility in security-sensitive environments.
  • Available in project-specific specifications to match the required security level.
