Ballistic Protection Without Compromising Energy Performance
Insulated Bullet Resistant Glass
Manufactured for Seamless Integration
Patriot Armor’s Insulated Bullet Resistant Glass combines certified ballistic protection with high-performance insulating glass technology, delivering a complete glazing solution for facilities where safety and sustainability are equally important. Designed for exterior applications, these insulating glass units (IGUs) provide resistance to ballistic threats while helping reduce heat transfer, improve occupant comfort, and support modern building performance standards.
Whether protecting government facilities, schools, financial institutions, healthcare campuses, or corporate headquarters, Patriot Armor’s insulated security glazing provides uncompromising protection without sacrificing natural daylight or aesthetics.
Patriot’s All Glass Laminates, Ballistic Glass Clad Laminates, Forced Entry Laminates and StudentShield products can be insulated to form IGU’s. Product data sheets and specifications are provided to customers with calculations for U Value, Visible Light Transmission and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.
Why Choose Insulated Bullet Resistant Glass?
Unlike traditional bullet resistant glazing designed primarily for interior use, insulated bullet resistant glass integrates a ballistic-resistant laminate with an exterior insulating glass unit to create a complete building envelope solution.
Benefits Include
🛡 Certified ballistic protection
❄ Improved thermal performance
☀ Optional Low-E coatings
🌡 Enhanced occupant comfort
💡 Increased daylight transmission
🏢 Ideal for exterior building applications
Security Meets Energy Efficiency
Exterior glazing must do more than stop ballistic threats.
Patriot Armor’s insulated systems are designed to help improve:
Thermal Performance
Low-E coatings and insulated airspaces reduce heat transfer, helping lower HVAC loads and improve year-round comfort.
Condensation Resistance
Insulating glass units help minimize condensation on interior glass surfaces under varying environmental conditions.
Occupant Comfort
Improved insulation reduces cold wall effects and solar heat gain, creating a more comfortable interior environment.
Building Appearance
Large-format insulated glazing maintains the clean architectural aesthetics expected in today’s commercial buildings.
Available Ballistic Protection Levels
Patriot Armor manufactures insulated glazing systems utilizing multiple ballistic-resistant constructions.
Available protection may include:
- UL 752 Levels 1–8
- Higher threat custom solutions
- NIJ-compliant glazing (where specified)
- Custom-engineered ballistic make-ups
(Available protection levels depend upon glazing construction and project requirements.)
