Specification
Offer maximum security to your customers and clients with bulletproof glass. Embassies, offices, and other high-risk areas; anywhere security is a concern, IQ can help you discretely integrate this glass technology, with the full clarity and light weight of luxury glass.
Traditional bulletproof glass has a reputation for being heavy and dense, in order to form a sufficient barrier. IQ offers a higher standard, with an advanced polycarbonate incorporated into the laminate. Through this, you can achieve greater design freedom with slim and lightweight panels, ensuring a rich and relaxing experience for occupants.
With the widest range of options on the market, we can deliver bespoke bulletproof glass tailored to your exact criteria. Whatever finish or glazing system you need, whether you need tinted or switchable glass included, our technical experts will work with you to balance design and performance.
Security Testing
Eliminating the slightest unnecessary risk, our bulletproof glass is tested rigorously tested to meet the EN 1063 (BR) and EN 1522/1523 (FB) standards, ensuring performance you can rely on. These European classifications range from BR1 to BR7, covering threats from small handguns to high-powered rifles with armour-piercing rounds. Where required, full systems are tested to FB standards, to confirm resistance across the entire frame, not just the glass.
