Bulletproof glass
Laminated ballistic glass built from glass plies and interlayers. Choose the class against the threat; we settle thickness, weight, size and shape together. The class is documented per project with the test report of the glass supplied.
- BR1 to BR7 and SG1
- NS and S
- Flat or curved
- Insulated option
Choose the threat first; the glass thickens to match.
Compare EN 1063 classes. Thickness and weight are supplier reference values; the exact build-up is confirmed by the test report.

Highlights
Class matched to the threat
Eight classes, from handguns to long-barrel rifles. The right class follows the risk and use of the protected space.
NS or S
NS sheds no spall on the protected side. S is thinner and lighter but may spall. The choice depends on who stands behind the glass.
Flat or curved
Flat for counters, booths and facades; curved for special architectural openings.
Insulated option
An insulated (double-glazed) build is available in every BR class.
Made to size
Cutting, edge work and packing follow your project sizes, shipped in export packaging.
Documented delivery
Class, thickness and build-up are documented per project with the test report of the glass supplied.
Glass alone does not protect
Protection comes from glass, frame, fixing and installation working to the same class. We plan all four under one quote.

Questions
What is the difference between BR4 and BR6?
BR4 is tested against a .44 Magnum handgun; BR6 against a 7.62×51 long-barrel rifle. Rifle classes are much thicker and heavier; typical values are in the class table.
Should I choose NS or S?
If people work behind the glass (counters, booths), NS is recommended because no spall reaches the protected side. S is thinner and lighter and suits places where spall risk is acceptable.
Are the thickness and weight in the table exact?
No, they are supplier reference values. The exact build-up depends on the manufacturer and the test report, and is confirmed with the quote.
Is the glass enough on its own?
No. Protection comes from glass, frame, fixing and installation working together. For doors and windows the system class under EN 1522/1523 is assessed separately.
How do you ship to West Africa?
By sea to Dakar, Abidjan, Lomé or Cotonou, then by road to Bamako, Ouagadougou and Niamey. Packing, documents and the shipping plan come with the quote.
