PDF Security Glazing Article

Pinnacle Armor provides glazings to meet the varied ballistic, explosive blast and forced entry threat levels, while maintaining architectural considerations such as nominal thickness, weight and load bearing requirements, air-space/insulating building codes and detention requirements. Glazings are designed for either interior or exterior applications. Heat or chemical treated compositional make-ups are available. However, these treatments have both positive and negative physical performance capabilities that should be addressed prior to specification.

All security glazings are offered with four performance requirement options:

  • Non-certified - tested equivalent
  • Certified to testing requirements
  • Low spall requirements
  • No spall requirements
