As the political season enters full swing, you may have seen articles about “uparmored glass” being added to events for extra security. If you’re curious about what this bulletproof barrier is or are interested in specialty ballistic security for special events, you’re in the right place.
Uparmored Glass Is Another Name for Bulletproof Glass
There are many names for bulletproof glass. Bullet-resistant glazing is the industry term, but bullet-resistant glass, bulletproof glass, and even uparmored glass both apply. While “uparmored” materials usually refer to armored vehicles and body armor, you can usually expect “uparmored glass” to have some protective qualities.
The nature of those qualities will depend on the standard the glass has been tested to. At TSS, most of our bulletproof glass products rely on the UL 752 Standard for Bullet-Resisting Equipment. This standard lays out how many shots a certain material can withstand, from what type of weapon, at what distance, and more. It’s one of the most highly-regarded standards in the industry.
If you’re considering a bulletproof or uparmored glass barrier that doesn’t include details about testing or standards of bulletproof protection, that’s a sign that the barrier may not be able to provide the protection you’re looking for.
Contact TSS for Other Custom Bulletproof Barriers
If you’re looking for bulletproof protection at special events, you have options beyond bulletproof glass. Because we have extensive experience handling many types of bulletproof barrier materials, our team of designers and engineers can help you create totally customized solutions that look just like normal, non-bulletproof objects.
Bulletproof Podiums and Desks Provide Stealth Security
Ballistic fiberglass can be packed into all types of spaces to create a bulletproof barrier. We frequently use fiberglass in walls, counters, and desks. These are usually in an office environment, a line of teller windows, or some other public-facing support area, like the cash-out counter at a casino. But did you know that we can also add bulletproof fiberglass to other pieces?
TSS can also handle specialty projects like bulletproof podiums and standalone desks. Bulletproof podiums and desks are ideal for speaking events, speeches, and even late-night television. These can be built to your specifications with additional considerations for the additional weight of the fiberglass.
