SAFETY GLASS in Alexandria VA Ballistic or Bullet Resistant glass and windows are rated by their strength in withstanding impacts from bullets and projectiles of various calibers and velocities. These types of glass absorb the impact, so this does not mean the rounds will bounce off and fall harmlessly to the ground. Instead, they tend to get embedded in the glass. After an initial round hits the bullet-resistant glass, it typically diminishes its strength it and continues to decrease upon each ensuing impact. Ultimately, even the strongest ballistic glass becomes compromised after numerous impacts and won’t provide a secure protective barrier any longer. Generally speaking, the glass type for ballistic windows is referred to as an “all-glass laminate.” This glass consists of several laminated layers that can protect a building’s windows from incidents of forced entry, fired bullets, or other projectiles. Again this is dependent on the overall thickness and strength of the glass installed.
