Bullet-Resistant Glass

Bullet-resistant, also known as bullet-proof or ballistic glass, can provide an enhanced level of security and protection when the threat of crime is high. Often ideal in neighborhoods where criminal activity is more common, such as areas of Chicago, many business types – including gas stations, jewelry stores, embassies, banks, police departments, fast food restaurants, hotels, and even schools – choose this type of glass for security and peace of mind. Ballistic glass can save lives, and we take the installation of this glass type very seriously, using only the highest quality products and the best installation practices.

How Does Bullet-Resistance Glass Work?

One of the best features about ballistic glass is that it is clear and transparent, resembling a standard panel of glass or window. When the glass is struck with a high level of force, ranging from being hit by a baseball bat (for break in purposes) or shot with a bullet, its elasticity allows the glass to flex rather than shatter.

It should be noted that the glass is not completely impenetrable; the thicker the glass, the stronger it will be, and therefore the more force it will resist. We can assist your business in understanding the different types of ballistic glass and which type is most appropriate for your business and location in Illinois or Indiana.

Ballistic glass is constructed using layers of laminated glass that is reinforced with a polycarbonate. When more layers of glass are used, the thicker the glass and the stronger the resistance to force. In addition to layers of glass, a polycarbonate is used to resist abrasion and keep the glass from scratching or showing other visible signs of damage.
