What Security Standards Should Ballistic Glass Meet?
At Ballistic Glass Company we comply with strict security regulations, such as UL 752 ratings, which classify glass into multiple levels, ranging from Level 1 (resistant to small handguns) to Level 8 (protection against high-powered rifles).
NIJ ballistic protection standards set guidelines for government and law enforcement applications, ensuring compliance with anti-terrorism security measures. EN 1063 European security ratings categorise glass based on firearm resistance and impact durability, commonly used for banks, armoured vehicles, and government buildings.
Can A Ballistic Glass Company Retrofit Existing Windows?
At Ballistic Glass Company, we offer retrofitting and full-frame replacement services to upgrade existing windows with ballistic glass. Retrofitting involves installing security glass overlays onto current window structures, making it a cost-effective solution for enhancing security.
In cases where higher protection levels are required, full-frame replacement may be necessary to reinforce the entire structure. Ballistic glass retrofits are commonly used in banks, convenience stores, and office buildings, providing an added layer of protection without extensive modifications.
How Long Does It Take To Install Ballistic Glass?
Standard ballistic glass replacements can take a few hours to one day, while a custom security glass may take several days to weeks due to fabrication and structural modifications.
Factors, such as on-site assessments, material availability, and specialised installation techniques, can impact the overall completion time.
Does Ballistic Glass Require Special Maintenance?
For proper maintenance of ballistic glass, non-abrasive cleaners should be used to prevent scratches and clouding, while routine inspections help detect potential structural damage or impact weakening.
Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade laminated interlayers, and ensure that frames and seals remain in optimal condition. If visible cracks or delamination appear, a professional evaluation is recommended to assess whether replacement is necessary.
