PRACTICALLY IMPENETRABLE
We attempt to destroy all of our products to prove a point: Just how indestructible they are. To ensure each system offers the highest level of delayed forced entry, we test our frame, entrance and glass together against multiple attacks – from bullets and bricks to sledgehammers – to name a few. No one does more to protect what you value most.
Whether for a school or a hospital, a retrofit or a new building, our forced-entry-resistant glass and glazing systems, ArmorGarde™ and ArmorDefend™, are tested to, and above, recognized industry standards so you can specify and install with confidence.
Single-source glass and glazing systems tested together to go above minimum industry test levels.

TOUGHER TESTS TO MEET A HIGHER GRADE
ASTM E2395 – Tests glazing and frame resistance
We use heavier, higher velocity missiles per ASTM E1996 – the Elevated Missile Impact portion of ASTM E2395.
ArmorDefend™ storefront: Performance Level 5 with Elevated Missile Impact Level D ArmorDefend™ Plus storefront: Performance Level 5 with up to Elevated Missile Impact Level E
ASTM F1233 – Tests glazing resistance to items like ball peen hammers, pipes and extinguishers. Higher classes resist more challenging impacts
ArmorGarde™ : Class 1.4 HG3 (9mm handgun)
ArmorGarde™ Plus: Class 1.4 HG3 (9mm handgun)
5-aa1 – Measures time to failure for glazing impacted by common items like bricks and bats.
ArmorGarde™ : 6 mins 43 seconds.
ArmorGarde™ Plus: 13 mins 8 seconds – Lab Technician unable to continue due to exhaustion.
To ensure resistance to forced entry, independent, certified labs test our glass and glazing systems together using industry-recognized standards so you can have confidence in the products you specify.
