Security glass is widely used as a method of cordoning off areas, using a material that is visually appealing and functional. Security glass is defined by two terms; safety and security.

• The term “Safety” is applied to glazing used to reduce the risk of accident by impact, fracture, shattering, or in a fire
• the term “Security” is applied to glazing, which in addition to “Safety”, is able to withstand a variety of deliberate attacks such as manual, ballistic or blast resistant.

Using the right type of glass for security applications is usually not enough to ensure the necessary resistance to severe attacks and pressures. This is because the glass can behave differently in different framing systems, it is usually the case that high performance glazing is combined with high quality framing systems to attain a high level of protection.

A high quality frame and glass is a far safer alternative to the cheaper variations. Allowing for a secure and reliable system.
