Security & Bullet-Resistant Glass
Some businesses need more than standard glass: banks, pharmacies, cash-handling retail, offices and public buildings. We supply and install forced-entry and bullet-resistant glazing and transaction windows.
Levels of protection
- Laminated glass resists smash-and-grab and delays forced entry.
- Multi-layer security glazing of glass and polycarbonate resists sustained forced-entry attacks.
- Bullet-resistant glazing tested and rated to recognized ballistic standards, from handguns up to higher-powered rifles.
- Polycarbonate sheet for high-impact resistance at light weight.
The frame matters as much as the glass
Rated glass in an ordinary frame does not give rated protection. Bullet-resistant and forced-entry rated installations require frames, anchors and in some cases wall armoring rated to the same level, so there are no weak points around the glass. We supply complete rated assemblies where a rating is required.
Transaction windows and pass-throughs
Banks, pharmacies, check-cashing stores, gas stations and reception areas often use transaction windows with deal trays, speak-through devices and pass-throughs. We install rated transaction windows and the counters and trays that go with them.
Choosing the right level
Higher ratings mean thicker, heavier and more expensive glazing. The right level depends on the actual threats the business faces. We discuss the risks with the owner and security consultant and recommend glazing that protects without over-building.

Security & Bullet-Resistant Glass questions
Do not see your question? Call and talk to a glazing specialist.
What makes glass bullet-resistant?
Multiple layers of glass and polycarbonate bonded together, tested and rated to ballistic standards.
Is laminated glass bulletproof?
No. Standard laminated glass resists smash-and-grab but is not ballistic-rated.
Can bullet-resistant glass go in my existing frame?
Usually not. Rated glazing is heavy and needs a rated frame and anchors.
Do you install bank transaction windows?
Yes, including deal trays, speak-through devices and pass-throughs.
