Backglazing: Retrofit Ballistic Protection for Windows

If windows simply can’t be replaced with a bulletproof option, a common suggestion is to use security window film instead. While film is a great product in the right application, it’s not suitable for protecting human lives as it does not stop a bullet. Because backglazing is made from bulletproof glass that undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its performance under fire, you can trust that if the unthinkable happens, your people will have bulletproof protection.

Plenty of buildings simply can’t replace their existing windows with ballistic alternatives. Whether the construction is too delicate, the windows have historical significance, or the aesthetics make replacing with bulletproof material impractical, backglazing lets you preserve what matters most while adding a layer of protection. 

Protecting the planet and protecting people can go hand-in-hand. Adding backglazing to existing high-efficiency windows protects your investment and makes your facility that much more prepared for events in an uncertain future.

Removing existing windows and frames requires significant specialized construction services. Backglazing is a simpler process with fewer risks. This shortens your project timeline and reduces your overall costs without compromising your protection.

When considering options for ballistic protection, facility owners and managers commonly run into the issue of how to balance security with the building’s current exterior aesthetics. The new TSS removable backglazing system is an efficient and cost-effective solution for your unique ballistic protection needs.
