Performance
In addition to glass’ comfort and design features, security glazed facades and glazed curtain walls—including blast-resistant curtain wall configurations—can deliver life-safety benefits that protect building occupants in the event of an emergency. Vetrotech’s high-security glazing options for façades go beyond the conventional functionalities of glass to provide occupants with uncompromised safety against manual attack, gunfire, and explosions. They offer a perfect aesthetic match to adjacent areas not requiring specific high-security performance and can be integrated into a wide range of façade solutions, such as stick or unitised curtain wall systems.
Our high-security glazed façades protect people and property against intrusion attempts using manual attack methods, in compliance with P6B to P8B resistance classes and beyond. They protect against gunfire of various calibres, in compliance with Classes BR1 through BR7, SG1 and SG2, as well as against Kalashnikov rounds. These solutions also add robust protection against explosions, meeting Class ER1 through ER4 resistance levels—making them ideal for blast-resistant curtain wall applications.
