Our advanced polycarbonate glazing solutions offer unparalleled protection against ballistic threats, bomb blasts, and forced entry; all while maintaining optical clarity.

Some of our newer technologies also offer glass-like aesthetics, optics, abrasion resistance, and outdoor durability, with the advantage of being half the weight of glass and without the potential of breakage during delivery, installation or during the life of the installed product.

Compared to traditional glass, polycarbonate glazing delivers superior performance in every aspect of safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Why Polycarbonate for Safety and Security?

Ballistic Resistance: Polycarbonate glazing systems can stop bullets without shattering, protecting occupants and assets in high-risk areas.
Bomb Blast Protection: Designed to absorb and disperse the energy from explosions, polycarbonate minimizes fragmentation and injury risks.
Forced Entry Defence: Its high impact resistance makes it virtually unbreakable, offering a formidable barrier against intrusions.
