These panels meet stringent government and military standards, offering greater security than conventional windows by reducing hazardous glass fragments during blasts.
Specifications: The panels are made of glass blocks framed by a 2-piece aluminum channel, available in various finishes including mill finished, anodized clear, bronze, and powder coating. They are customizable to meet specific project needs and are suitable for daylighting strategies, contributing to LEED points.
System Design Features: The panels are visually appealing, easy to install, graffiti-resistant, damage-resistant, and easy to clean. They can be installed from either the interior or exterior of a building and are available with a range of visibility and privacy options. Real glass is used, which is easy to maintain and does not yellow over time.
Security Features: The panels meet GSA and UFC 04-010-01 blast glass standards, offering enhanced protection and greater security than conventional windows. They reduce hazardous glass fragments and showed no cracking or loss of glass during testing.
Applications: These panels are ideal for high-risk buildings such as military facilities, airports, government offices, embassies, courthouses, correctional facilities, arenas, financial centers, offices, and other high-profile public and retail spaces.
Performance: Engineering analysis and independent laboratory testing have confirmed that the panels perform to ASTM "minimal hazard" or GSA "performance condition 2" or better. They are effective against various threat levels at specified standoff distances, including petrochemical applications.
