What is Bulletproof Glass?

Bulletproof glass consists of multiple layers of tough glass with interlayers of various plastics. Sometimes there is a layer of polycarbonate (a type of hard plastic) or a layer of plastic film. Otherwise, it will cause the dangerous parts of the glass or plastic part to be shattered by the impact of a bullet. This sandwich layer is called laminate. It can be ten times thicker than a single ordinary glass and is often very heavy.

When a bullet hits a bulletproof glass, its energy radiates sideways through the layers. Because the energy is split between different pieces of glass and plastic and spread over a large area, it is quickly absorbed. The bullet becomes so slow that it no longer has enough energy to pierce, or if it does it will do too much damage. Although the glass panels break, the plastic sheets stop them blowing up. Think of bulletproof glass as energy absorbing glass. That way you can get a better idea of how it works.

Bulletproof Glasses

Bulletproof glasses are multi-layer lamination units that are produced according to EN1063 standard and provide protection against armed attacks. When necessary, glass layers can be used as tempered. According to the NS class in the EN1063 standard, it is also produced with polycarbonate sheet applied to prevent the dispersion of glass particles towards the inside.

Bulletproof glasses are generally asymmetrical and when applied in the right position they are in the bulletproof class.

When the bulletproof multi-layer laminating unit is applied to the double glazing, the laminate unit must be located on the other side of the potential impact.

Where is Bulletproof Glass Used?

Stadiums and arenas are often located in high-traffic areas with box office workers exposed to large crowds at once. These places often rely on specially sized windows so that payments and tickets can be exchanged effectively. These windows provide the added benefit of keeping employees warm, as well as when box offices are outside.

Hotels and motels should have staff on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hotel attendants get in the way of any foot traffic, as their lobby is always precarious. By putting these workers behind bulletproof windows, hotels and motels can keep front desk staff safe 24 hours a day.

The history of security problems in banks is well known. Bank robbery is not as easy as it once was, thanks to surveillance cameras and security guards, but it does happen sometimes. Bulletproof windows are now being installed in banks and credit unions to protect employees who interact with customers.

Like hotels and motels, stores often remain open 24 hours. Due to the security issues this situation brings, these places can have a hard time finding and retaining good employees. By installing bulletproof products, workplaces can provide a safe place for workers while providing an opening large enough to pass through larger items such as cigarette cartons.

While schools are a safe place for students and teachers, many tragedies over the years have proven otherwise. School administrators are now taking measures to protect school systems by requiring all visitors to pass through a front office to reach a locked area. With the installation of bulletproof windows, the gatekeeper can also safely protect all visitors.

While they’ve been needed for a long time, bulletproof windows in police stations are a relatively new development in many cities. By using bulletproof products in the lobby, police stations can keep visitors, officers and administrative staff safe while serving the public. There are options that can work within the local government budget to ensure that law enforcement officials feel safe working at the station.
