Steel, Aluminum, or Hollow Metal: Choosing the Right Frame for Bulletproof Windows
A bulletproof window is only as strong as the frame that holds it in place. While glazing absorbs the initial impact, the surrounding structure, whether stainless steel, aluminum, or hollow metal, must contain and redistribute the resulting forces. This
How does Armortex Engineer Reliable Bulletproof Doors
Every secure structure is defined by its weakest point, and in high-security environments, that point is often the door. While surrounding walls provide uninterrupted resistance, doors must function as dynamic systems that do not introduce vulnerability. This dual requirement
How are Bulletproof Doors Tested and Rated?
What determines whether a door can stop a bullet is not thickness, but physics under pressure. Projectiles traveling at over 2,800 feet per second impose forces that materials must absorb and dissipate almost instantly. Without controlled testing, even robust constructions can fail catastrophically. This is the reason why ballistic resistance
Does Producing Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass Panels In-House Create Value for Customers?
Two bullet-resistant fiberglass panels can carry the same UL 752 rating and perform very differently in the field. The difference often comes down to how they were made. Variations in fiber alignment, resin bonding, or curing cycles can introduce weaknesses that are not immediately visible. Armortex manufactures bullet-resistant fiberglass panels
Best Locations to Install Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass Panels in Commercial Buildings
Modern commercial buildings prioritize openness, with glass façades, expansive lobbies, and lightweight interior partitions influencing how internal spaces are structured. While visually effective, such open-plan design elements introduce structural vulnerabilities
The Hidden Cost Savings of Lightweight Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass Panels
The cost of ballistic protection extends well beyond the bullet-resistant fiberglass panel itself. Hidden expenses tied to shipping, handling, equipment, and structural support frequently exceed the initial material cost. Much
What Materials Are Used in a High-Performance Bulletproof Door?
A modern bulletproof door is a carefully engineered ballistic barrier designed to protect people and assets, all the while still operating like a conventional architectural entry system. In security-sensitive facilities, such as government buildings, financial
A Deep Dive into the UL 752 Ratings for Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass Panels
Bullet-resistant fiberglass panels provide a discreet yet powerful system for reinforcing interior structures against ballistic threats. In modern ballistic construction, these laminated composites strengthen walls without altering a building's design
