Bullet-resistant glass, forced-entry protection, and security laminated glazing for businesses, government facilities, and financial institutions across the DMV. UL 752 rated and ASTM certified.
Industry Ratings
Underwriters Laboratories rates bullet-resistant glass on eight levels based on the caliber and velocity of rounds it must withstand. We install every level.

Glass Construction
Three distinct approaches to security glazing, each engineered to resist different threat levels and attack methods.
Two glass plies bonded with a tough PVB interlayer. Cracks on impact but the interlayer holds fragments in place, preventing forced entry for 30-60 seconds.
Multiple glass plies with PVB and polycarbonate interlayers absorb and dissipate ballistic energy across the layup. Rated UL 752 Levels 1-8.
Polyester security film bonded to existing glass holds fragments together on impact. Delays forced entry without full glass replacement -- an ideal upgrade for existing windows.
