Bullet Resistant Glazing Materials

POLYCARBONATE: Captures the bullet, no spall, no ricochet.

This laminated material is available in Levels 1, 2 & 3. Good for interior and exterior use. Can be used with minimal framing. Unframed edges will polish to clear. Can be fabricated for natural voice communication using voice ports and back plates or offset designs. Polycarbonate has a slight tint which can be better for high glare areas and has proven to provide better CCTV camera resonance for better resolution of photos for identification and/or surveillance purposes.

Bullet Guard uses laminated polycarbonate in six levels of protection ranging from containment rated sheet to UL Level 3 bullet resistant material capable of withstanding multiple rounds from super powered handguns. Hard coated surfaces offer resistance to abrasion, UV degradation, delamination and discoloration. Lightweight and easy to fabricate for new or remodel applications. High production standards and newer extruders eliminate ripples and defects making Sheffield's sheet goods more acceptable to open designs than the competition.
