FAQs
Does your security glass meet federal guidelines for school and government facilities?
Yes. Our high-impact and shatter-resistant glazing solutions directly align with the standards set by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the SAVER program. Our installations qualify under FEMA Authorized Equipment List (AEL) Category 14 (Physical Security Enhancement Equipment) and AEL Number 14EX-00-BSIR (Systems, Building, Blast/Shock/Impact Resistant), making them fully compliant with federal procurement and safety grant criteria.
Can you retrofit existing entryways, or do we need to replace the entire window frame?
We specialize in seamless, non-disruptive retrofits. In most cases, we install advanced polycarbonate overglaze systems directly over your existing window and door frames. This means you get elite forced-entry and ballistic protection without the massive expense, mess, or downtime associated with full structural demolition.
What is the difference between forced-entry glass and bullet-resistant glass?
Forced-Entry Glass: Engineered to withstand prolonged, heavy physical attacks from tools like sledgehammers, baseball bats, and crowbars. It prevents intruders from breaking through the pane to gain access.
Bullet-Resistant Glass: Specifically rated under UL 752 standards to stop bullet penetration from handguns or high-velocity rifles.
Many of our school vestibules and courthouse installations combine both technologies for maximum security.
Do your security glass products block natural light?
Not at all. Our security glass and polycarbonate overglazes provide 100% optical clarity. This allows you to dramatically harden a school campus or municipal lobby without sacrificing natural light or creating a dark, restrictive environment for students and public staff.
What are the specific security ratings for your transaction windows?
Our transaction and visitor check-in windows feature certified ballistic glazing that can be tailored from UL 752 Level 1 through Level 8. They are engineered with bullet-resistant frames and specialized, clear voice-transmission speak-thrus so your staff can process paperwork and ID vetting safely without breaking the secure line.
How long does the installation process take, and will it disrupt public operations?
We design our public works and school installations to cause zero operational downtime. Because our systems fit cleanly over existing architecture without demolition, installation is exceptionally fast. Our factory-trained, background-checked crews can coordinate after-hours, weekend, or school-break installations to ensure the building remains fully operational during normal business hours.
