Security Glass

What is security glass?

Security glass is glazing specified to resist a defined threat, such as manual attack or gunfire. Safety glazing reduces the risk of injury from accidental impact. Laminated glass can serve either purpose, depending on its construction and tested performance.

An interlayer bonds the glass layers together and helps hold fragments in place if the pane cracks. IQ Projects works with architects, specifiers and contractors to coordinate security glass, framing and installation as part of the wider glazing package for commercial and public buildings.

Bulletproof Glass

Specifying security glass for your project

Start with the security brief. Identify which openings need protection and what the glazing needs to resist. BS EN 356 classifies glass for resistance to manual attack. BS EN 1063 covers bullet resistance. If the brief calls for bullet resistance, see our Bulletproof Glass product.

Ask for the classification and supporting evidence for the proposed glass. Where the brief requires a rated assembly, check which glass and framing configurations the evidence covers and how the assembly must be fixed to the surrounding structure.

Share your drawings, opening sizes and security requirements with IQ Projects so we can discuss how the glazing fits into your project.
