What Is The Process For Installing Ballistic Glass?

Ballistic glass installation begins with a site assessment and security evaluation to determine the appropriate glass thickness, frame modifications, and installation method.

After custom fabrication, the glass is fitted into secure frames, ensuring precise alignment and reinforcement. The final stage includes sealing, impact testing, and certification to verify compliance with ballistic standards.

At Ballistic Glass Installation, we ensure structural integrity and maximum protection for buildings and vehicles.

Where Can Ballistic Glass Be Installed?

Commercial ballistic glass installations include banks, government offices, retail stores, and embassies, where reinforced glass helps protect staff and assets.

Residential applications are becoming more common in high-security homes and luxury estates, offering protection against break-ins and ballistic threats.

Vehicle installations cater to law enforcement, military, VIP transport, and armoured vehicles, where ballistic glass is integrated into car windows and windscreens to ensure occupant safety.

What Types Of Ballistic Glass Are Available?

Ballistic glass is available in laminated, polycarbonate, and acrylic materials, each offering different levels of protection, durability, and optical clarity to meet UL, NIJ, and EN security standards.

These options include further details:

• Laminated ballistic glass consists of multiple glass layers with a polycarbonate interlayer, providing high protection against gunfire and blasts.
• Polycarbonate ballistic panels are lightweight, shatter-resistant, and highly durable, making them ideal for retail shopfronts, security booths, and armoured vehicles.
• Acrylic ballistic glass offers high optical clarity and impact resistance, commonly used in banks, kiosks, and government offices.
• Security ratings follow UL (Underwriters Laboratories), NIJ (National Institute of Justice), and EN (European) standards, ensuring compliance with ballistic security levels.

How Much Does Ballistic Glass Installation Cost?

The cost of ballistic glass installation ranges from £500 to £5,000 per panel, depending on thickness, material, and security rating.

Additional expenses may include custom fabrication, labour, frame modifications, and permit fees. For high-security commercial buildings, embassies, and armoured vehicles, costs can be higher due to specialised materials and compliance requirements.

What Are The Security Benefits Of Ballistic Glass?

Ballistic glass installation provides enhanced protection against forced entry, gunfire, and explosions, making it an essential security feature for high-risk environments.

These benefits include:

• Bullet resistance – Designed to withstand various firearm calibres, ballistic glass prevents penetration and reduces the risk of injury.
• Forced entry protection – Its impact-resistant structure deters break-ins, vandalism, and smash-and-grab robberies.
• Blast mitigation – Multi-layered laminated glass absorbs shockwaves from explosions, reducing flying debris and structural damage.
• Enhanced safety – Protects occupants in commercial buildings, government facilities, banks, and vehicles by creating a secure barrier.
• Additional benefits – Some ballistic glass options provide UV protection, noise reduction, and thermal insulation, improving both security and comfort.

What Are The Legal And Safety Regulations For Ballistic Glass Installation?

Ballistic glass installations must be compliant with UL 752, NIJ, and EN ballistic ratings, which ensure the glass meets firearm and impact resistance requirements.

Government buildings and financial institutions must adhere to security glazing regulations, while armoured vehicle installations follow law enforcement ballistic protection guidelines.

Ballistic Glass Installation helps you with obtaining the necessary permits and certifications, ensuring legal compliance and insurance validation.
