Overview
Bullet and blast-resistant glazing systems are advanced multi-layer laminated glass assemblies engineered to protect buildings and occupants against ballistic threats, explosions, and forced attacks, while maintaining transparency and architectural aesthetics.
GSK Global FZC L.L.C., is a global leader in oversized high-performance glass—delivers next-generation security glazing solutions for high-risk and high-value projects, combining maximum protection, large-format capability, and façade integration.
Technology & Construction
Security glazing systems are manufactured using multiple layers of glass and high-performance interlayers, designed to absorb and dissipate energy from ballistic and blast impacts.
Multi-layer laminated glass construction
Specialized interlayers for energy absorption
Monolithic or insulated (IGU) configurations
Polycarbonate-free systems (advanced glass-only build-ups)
Integration with Low-E and solar control coatings
Modern systems provides splinter-free protection (NS classification) while maintaining clarity and durability.
Bullet Resistance Classification (EN 1063)
- BR2 – BR4: Protection against handguns
- BR5 – BR7 NS: Protection against rifles and armor-piercing ammunition
- STANAG Levels: Military-grade ballistic protection
- High-performance systems achieve up to BR7 NS, the highest civilian classification, capable of resisting armor-piercing rounds.
Blast Resistance Performance
- Blast-resistant glazing is engineered to:
- Withstand shock waves and pressure loads from explosions
- Prevent hazardous glass fragmentation (anti-spall performance)
- Maintain façade integrity and reduce risk of injury
- Absorb and dissipate dynamic impact energy
- These systems are commonly designed based on project-specific blast load calculations and international standards.
