The cost of most ballistic products increases as the level of protection increases. Bulletproof countertops are no different.

Most standard building materials are not bulletproof. If you're creating a physical security barrier, plasterboard, drywall, and wood framing will not stop a bullet. Cinderblocks do resist bullets, but they aren't a practical solution for countertops or reception areas.
The solution is bulletproof countertops. Stainless steel, wood, or plastic laminate counters are reinforced with a "hidden" layer of bulletproof fiberglass under the surface. If an attack occurs, frontline workers can duck under the counter and still be protected by bulletproof counters and walls. And because TSS can match the counter with your existing interior, this extra layer of protection is unobtrusive and blends right into the environment.
Our ballistic fiberglass falls into two main categories.
The right level of protection depends on your environment and threat level. Since the majority of retail, financial, and healthcare gun violence happens with a handgun, Level 3 provides comprehensive protection at an accessible price point. But if you have specific concerns about rifle fire, a higher protection level might be a better choice. When in doubt, it's always better to consult a safety expert. Our team is ready to discuss your concerns and help you decide how to best protect your staff.
After decades of experience, TSS has become the go-to source for designing and installing bulletproof barriers that look great and protect people at work.
