Commercial security doors are often overlooked, but they’re an essential part of any property’s safety plan. Without proper protection against break-ins, a business doesn’t have the time it needs to react to robbery or other intrusions. Who doesn’t want to minimize the chances of burglars accessing their store?
Across the USA, a high frequency of shooting incidents and security risks happen in schools each year. Elementary and high school security is of critical importance for this reason, protecting students and staff and providing parents with the peace of mind that the threats are being taken into consideration. This article will provide a guide to some of the key ways in which high school security can be increased.
Ballistic Resistant Windows
One way in which high school security can be increased is in the reinforcement of windows so they are able to withstand ballistic attacks. At Armortex, we sell ballistic-resistant windows and doors which have been engineered to be strong, robust and provide secure access control to any school. This means that schools can be sure there are no unidentified visitors to the school without disrupting daily operations. Ballistic resistant windows and doors act initially as a deterrent, meaning individuals are less likely to carry out acts of violence in schools. It also means that if shots are fired from outside the school, students and staff are protected.
Fiberglass Panels for Enhanced High School Security
Fiberglass panels can strengthen the ballistic resistance of your school in the event of an active shooting incident. These panels can be used as cladding to reinforce walls. At Armortex, our fiberglass composite panels are woven in-house, to create a ballistic-grade fiberglass panel. This means we can maximize the ballistic performances of our fiberglass panels, through proper de-lamination and reliable projectile retention.
Bullet-Resistant Furniture
Bullet-resistant furniture is another way in which schools can give added protection to their staff and students. Fiberglass can reinforce standard furniture which in turn adds enhances high school security in an active shooter event.

When replacing the windows and doors in a commercial building, the first consideration is always cost. Does a potential replacement provide tangible benefits to the business? New window frames can refresh the look of your building, particularly if you opt for uPVC fittings. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, typically abbreviated to uPVC, is the go-to material for refurbishing tired windows and doors. It can lend a refreshed feel to building exteriors while improving the insulation considerably. Yet uPVC windows leave something to be desired from the perspective of security.
School security is an often controversial topic of conversation, with the lengths that faculties go to protect students being open to intense debate. More security guards? Armed teachers? All of these questions have been asked in the wake of increasingly panic-inducing security issues on school campuses.
We are living through politically turbulent times, both domestically and around the world. Regrettably, the polarization of Americans has forced many to reconsider how they protect themselves and their property. This stems from the individual level right up to the federal scale.
Bulletproofing is the latest iteration in a long line of systems designed for damage prevention. It reflects the complex relationship between innovations in weaponry and defence, where advancements in one typically lead to steps forward in the other. But the underlying protection concept of bullet resistance is unique in that it went against centuries of conventional wisdom in armouring and led to something of a paradigm shift in warfare.

Security in sports arenas and stadiums traditionally focuses on the mass entrance and exit of spectators. There’s been a concerted effort to safeguard against overcrowding, crushing, sudden surges, or stampedes which can lead to severe injury. Preventing uninvited or unlawful entry has also been on the radar. That is why most physical security solutions and measures that are visible involve turnstiles, fencing, barriers, on-site security guards, closed-circuit television (CCTV), and other access-control or surveillance techniques.
