Architectural Glass: Bullet Resistant, ArmorResist®

Laminated glass can be designed to resist attacks by a wide range of weapons. There are many standards and test methods available. Almost all of these have two main requirements: (1) the glazing must resist penetration by a specified bullet and (2); the spall or flying shards of glass leaving the rear face, as a result of the impact, must be limited. Bullet-resistant laminated glass can typically meet both of these requirements. It is important to note that some ArmorResist® glazing materials are not classified as forced-entry resistant.
