How Does Bullet-Proof & Riot-Proof Glass Perform
The process of creating bullet-proof and riot-proof glass includes laminating a polycarbonate clear plastic interlayer between sheets of strenghtened glass or clear acrylic. The strength of the material will relate to the number of layers and thickness of the glass. There have been eight different levels of ballistics resistant glass established by the U.L., each capable of withstanding security threats of different magnitudes. The higher the U.L. rating, the more protection the product offers.
Types Of Bullet-Proof Glass
- Solid Acrylic Bullet Resistant Glass
- Laminated Polycarbonate Glass
- Glass -Clad Polycarbonate
Normal glass may be around 3mm thick while Bullet-Proof glass may be around 21mm thick, or thicker. Depending upon your protection needs, we will discuss the Bullet-Proof solution that best fits your needs.

Bullet-Proof Glass Information
Bullet-Proof glass at a first glance appears to be plain ordinary glass. Depending upon the U.L. rating level of Bullet-Proof glass either the more or less secure the glass is. Bullet-Proof glass reduces the velocity by absorbing the energy from the bullet(s). The thickness of Bullet-Proof glass is of the utmost importance. Bullets from a rifle or other heavy weapon require a super thick glass versus a bullet fired from a hand gun. NO glass is 100% bulletproof! The simplest Bullet-Proof glass contains at least 3 layers i.e. one layer of plastic and two glass standard glass sheets. The plastic layer is sandwiched between two panes of standard glass.
- Small Handguns: Level 1 is used as a minimun to prevent small handguns attack.
- Large Caliber Handguns: Level 2 is the recommended minimun for large caliber handgun attacks.
- Super Powered Handguns: Level 3 or above is the minimun recommended for these attacks.
- Automatic Weapons or Assualt Rifles: Level 4-8 is the minimun recommended level for these types of attacks.
Although we can provide Bullet-Proof glass we cannot guarantee the performance of any of the Bullet-Proof glass performance, or be responsible for any negative results from a shooter(s) attack.
