Applications

Strong enough to protect what matters most. Flexible enough for a variety of applications.
Education. Healthcare. Retail. Office. Just a few of the segments where owners can trust what they value to ArmorGarde™. Whether in our complete ArmorDefend™ system, where the glass and metal are tested together, or in retrofit applications, ArmorGarde™ and ArmorGarde™ Plus can be installed to add security and delay forced-entry. Whether for a school or a hospital, a retrofit or a new building, our forced-entry-resistant glass, ArmorGarde™, and our complete glazing system, ArmorDefend™containing our ArmorGarde™ or ArmorGarde™ Plus glass, are tested to, and above, recognized industry standards so you can specify and install with confidence.
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.
We rely on the industry-recognized ASTM F1233 standard, where higher classes resist more challenging impacts, when testing our products. This standard tests glazing resistance to items like ball-peen hammers, pipes and extinguishers.
• ASTM F1233:
ArmorGarde™: Class 1.4 HG3 (9mm handgun)
ArmorGarde™ Plus: Class 1.4 HG3 (9mm handgun)
To help our customers compare our products with other similar products in the market, we have also tested to 5-aa1, which measures time to failure for glazing impacted by common items like bricks, bats and sledgehammers.
• 5-aa1:
ArmorGarde™: 6 minutes, 43 seconds
ArmorGarde™ Plus: 13 minutes, 8 seconds (Lab technician unable to continue due to exhaustion)
