How expensive is bullet proof glass?

The cost of bullet-resistant glass varies considerably based on the UL 752 protection level, the material composition, and the size of the panel required. Level 1 acrylic or polycarbonate laminate panels — the most common choice for convenience stores, pharmacies, and ticket windows — start at roughly $25 to $50 per square foot. At the higher end, multi-layered glass-clad polycarbonate rated for Level 6 through Level 8 threats can exceed $150 per square foot before installation. For a typical commercial transaction window or security partition, total costs including framing and installation commonly land between $2,000 and $8,000 per opening. Factors like custom shapes, pass-through drawers, speaker systems, and specialized coatings (anti-graffiti, anti-spall) all add to the budget. Getting quotes from multiple ballistic glazing specialists is recommended for any sizable project.
