Bullet Proof Glass for Banks

Even with the use of advanced technologies, such as silent alarms, visible security cameras, and weapon detection systems at entrances, banks and other financial institutions continue to be prime targets for criminals. Consequently, these facilities must take every precaution to ensure the safety of customers and employees.

At U.S. Bullet Proofing, we recognize the ongoing security challenges that financial institutions face. We can provide bullet proof glass for banks, including bullet resistant storefront windows, curtain walls, and teller transaction windows, offering reliable protection from a wide range of threats.

The Safety Benefits of Bank Bullet Proof Glass

Installing bullet proof glass enables you to take a more proactive than reactive approach to bank security. Our glass creates a physical barrier that stops threats before they breach your facility. Specific benefits include:

  • Deters crime: Glass windows serve as a highly visible barrier, making the facility a less inviting target for criminals.
  • Stops bullets and forced entry: If criminals do attempt a property breach or attack, our glass can absorb the impact of bullets and keep intruders out of secure areas.
  • Buys time: Our bank teller windows can slow down attackers during a robbery attempt, which could provide employees enough time to escape.
  • Increases customer confidence: The sight of bullet proof glass windows can make customers feel safer and have more peace of mind when visiting your bank.
  • Promotes visibility and communication: Glass provides a clear, unobstructed view and natural voice transmission, helping the operation run smoothly and safely.

Bullet Proof Glass That Meets the High Bank Protection Standards

Due to the inherent security risks, the banking industry has established a high standard for bank window glazing. The UL 752 standard categorizes protection based on the weapon type and the number of shots a material can withstand without failure.

Most financial institution transaction areas adhere to a 752 Level 1 through Level 3 rating, which can stop bullets fired from 9mm to .44 Magnum guns, which are the weapons most frequently used in commercial robbery attempts. Instead of shattering, this glass absorbs the bullet’s impact and captures the projectile to prevent penetration.

Rounds fired from high-powered rifles require glass with enhanced capabilities to safeguard customers and bank personnel. Solutions are available up to 752 Level 8 for these more challenging protection scenarios.

At USBP, we independently test and verify our glass windows to meet these rigorous criteria. You’ll receive a high-quality product that delivers liability protection and unsurpassed safety, exceeding generic market options.

We Offer Custom Protection Solutions for Banks

We understand that no two bank branches are identical. Rather than relying on generic, off-the-shelf products, we will collaborate with you to provide a customized solution tailored to your facility’s unique location, layout, and local crime trends. Our security engineers will provide their expertise to your glass window design.

We also recognize the importance of aesthetics in a bank setting. Our advanced custom fabrication capabilities ensure your windows will blend seamlessly with your existing architecture to help maintain a welcoming environment.
