Security Glass Rating Selector
Match your building security requirements to certified UL 752 bulletproof glass and bullet-resistant ratings. Ideal for financial institutions, government facilities, dispensaries, and retail storefronts.
Commercial security relies on UL 752 standards to classify bulletproof glass and ballistic assemblies. Certified bullet-resistant glass undergoes rigorous physical testing against set projectile speeds and calibers. Installing high-rating bulletproof glass protects occupants by stopping rounds while retaining structural integrity under direct attack.
What type of facility is this for?
This sets a starting point. You can refine it in step 2.
What's the primary threat?
If you know the specific concern — a firearm type, or a forced-entry scenario — select it directly.
Level 1 — Handgun Protection
9mm, 124-grain · 3 shots · ~1,175 ft/s
Typical for retail counters, pharmacy windows, and low-risk entryways where the main concern is a common handgun round.
Commonly specified in acrylic or ballistic insulated glass — the thinnest profile available at this level, around 1" to 1¼" overall.
