Ballistic Glass - Bulletproof Glass - Bullet Resistant Glass
Madoors USA Ballistic and Bulletproof Glass is a comprehensive range of bullet-resistant safety glazing materials — covering glass, polycarbonate, laminate, acrylic, glass-clad polycarbonate, and insulated glass configurations — tested and certified to UL 752 bullet resistance specifications across protection levels 1 through 8. With over 100 bulletproofing projects completed per month on average and thousands of hours of fabrication and installation experience, Madoors USA specializes in recommending, fabricating, and installing the right bullet-resistant glazing material for every specific application — from transaction windows and bandit barriers at financial institutions and retail locations through to high-security door windows, counterline systems, and complete ballistic barrier installations at government buildings, military facilities, and critical infrastructure.
The choice of bulletproof glass is the centerpiece of any effective ballistic barrier system — determining not only the protection level achieved but also the specification of every other ballistic component in the system, including bulletproof doors, frames, and accessories. Madoors USA's team provides expert material selection guidance, custom fabrication, and professional installation for all bulletproof glazing product types across the full UL 752 protection level range.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
All Madoors USA bullet-resistant glazing materials are tested in accordance with UL 752 specifications for bullet resistance — the American standard defining bullet resistance levels 1 through 8 based on the weapon caliber, projectile type, and number of shots the glazing is required to withstand without complete penetration. Protection levels 1 through 8 are available across the full range of glazing material types, with the specific material and construction selected based on the required protection level, transparency requirement, weight constraint, aesthetic specification, and cost and lead time parameters of each project.
The Madoors USA bullet-resistant glazing range covers the following material types and their primary performance characteristics.
Acrylic bullet-resistant glass is lightweight and available in scratch-resistant formulations, providing a cost-effective bullet-resistant glazing solution for lower protection level applications — particularly transaction windows, ticket booths, and retail counter barriers where weight, cost, and scratch resistance are primary selection factors alongside ballistic performance.
Polycarbonate bullet-resistant panels provide high impact resistance and excellent optical clarity, with glass-clad polycarbonate configurations available for applications requiring the surface hardness and scratch resistance of glass on the exterior face combined with the impact absorption and spall protection of the polycarbonate substrate on the interior face.
Laminate bullet-resistant glass uses multi-layer glass and interlayer film construction to achieve the required ballistic performance level, providing a solution with the appearance and surface properties of standard glass for aesthetic-critical high-security installations where the ballistic nature of the glazing must not be visually apparent.
Insulated glass bullet-resistant configurations combine ballistic laminate construction with insulating air or gas cavity layers, providing thermal insulation, sound reduction, and energy efficiency performance alongside bullet resistance — suited to exterior glazing applications where the full environmental performance of an insulated glass unit is required in addition to ballistic protection.
Glass-clad polycarbonate combines glass outer layers with polycarbonate inner layers to deliver high ballistic protection levels with the optical clarity, surface hardness, and aesthetic appearance of glass — the preferred specification for high-security applications at upper protection levels where acrylic or polycarbonate alone cannot achieve the required ballistic performance with acceptable optical quality.
KEY FEATURES
UL 752 Certified — Levels 1 Through 8
All Madoors USA bullet-resistant glazing products are tested and certified to UL 752 specifications across protection levels 1 through 8 — covering the complete range from Level 1 protecting against 9mm handgun fire through to Level 8 protecting against 7.62mm rifle rounds. UL 752 certification provides independently verified, standardized ballistic performance documentation for procurement compliance, insurance, and security specification purposes.
Six Bullet-Resistant Glazing Material Types
The Madoors USA range covers six distinct glazing material types — glass, polycarbonate, laminate, acrylic, glass-clad polycarbonate, and insulated glass — providing the material selection flexibility required to match the specific protection level, optical quality, weight, scratch resistance, thermal performance, aesthetic, and cost requirements of every application without compromise between performance and practical constraints.
Acrylic — Lightweight, Scratch Resistant, Cost-Effective
Bullet-resistant acrylic provides a lightweight, scratch-resistant, cost-effective glazing solution for transaction window, retail counter, ticket booth, and cash handling applications at lower protection levels where acrylic's favorable weight and cost characteristics are operationally and economically advantageous compared to glass or polycarbonate alternatives.
Polycarbonate — High Impact, Excellent Clarity
Polycarbonate panels deliver high impact resistance and excellent optical clarity, providing reliable ballistic performance with superior resistance to impact-induced cracking compared to glass-based alternatives — suited to applications where the glazing may be subject to both ballistic and impact attack attempts.
Glass-Clad Polycarbonate — High Security
Glass-clad polycarbonate combines the surface hardness, scratch resistance, and optical quality of glass outer layers with the impact absorption and spall containment of polycarbonate inner layers — delivering the highest-quality optical and surface performance available in a bullet-resistant glazing panel at upper protection levels.
Laminate — Aesthetic Integration
Bullet-resistant laminate glass maintains the appearance and surface properties of standard architectural glass, making it the preferred specification for high-security installations where the ballistic nature of the glazing must not be visually apparent — including corporate headquarters reception areas, museum display cases, and government building public interfaces.
Insulated Glass — Thermal, Acoustic & Ballistic Performance
Bullet-resistant insulated glass units provide combined thermal insulation, sound reduction, energy efficiency, and ballistic protection in a single glazing unit — the specified solution for exterior building glazing applications where full environmental building envelope performance is required alongside ballistic protection.
Complete Ballistic Barrier System Integration
The centerpiece of any effective bulletproof barrier system is the glazing specification — which determines the protection level achieved and drives the specification of all other ballistic components including bulletproof doors, frames, and hardware. Madoors USA provides complete ballistic barrier system design and specification, ensuring that the glazing, door, frame, and accessory components are matched to the same protection level and tested to compatible performance standards across the complete installation.
Over 100 Projects Per Month — Extensive Experience
With over 100 bulletproofing projects completed per month on average, Madoors USA brings thousands of hours of fabrication and installation experience to every project — providing material recommendation, custom fabrication to project-specific dimensions, and professional installation for all bulletproof glazing product types across the full protection level range. This volume of active project experience means that Madoors USA's team has encountered and resolved the full range of installation challenges, specification conflicts, and performance optimization requirements that arise in bulletproof glazing projects.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Application Assessment & Material Selection
Required protection level, application type, glazing dimensions, interior or exterior installation, aesthetic requirements, scratch resistance needs, thermal performance requirements, and cost and lead time parameters are assessed. The appropriate glazing material — acrylic, polycarbonate, laminate, glass-clad polycarbonate, or insulated glass — and UL 752 protection level are selected and confirmed.
Custom Fabrication to Project Dimensions
Bullet-resistant glazing panels are fabricated to the confirmed project dimensions at the Madoors USA facility. All panels are fabricated using tested and certified material constructions. Panel dimensions, edge profiles, and fixing hole positions are fabricated to the installation engineering drawings for the specific door, frame, or barrier system.
Frame & Barrier System Preparation
The receiving frame, door, partition, or barrier system is prepared for glazing installation. Frame rebate dimensions, glazing bead positions, and sealant contact surfaces are verified against the specified glazing panel dimensions and thickness.
Glazing Panel Installation
Bullet-resistant glazing panels are installed into the prepared frame or barrier system using the specified glazing method — dry glazed with structural gaskets, wet glazed with bullet-resistant sealant, or mechanically fixed with ballistic-rated glazing beads. Panel alignment, edge cover, and sealant continuity are verified across all panel perimeters.
Ballistic Continuity Verification
Ballistic continuity between the glazing panel and the surrounding frame, door, or barrier structure is verified — confirming that no unprotected gap exists at panel edges, frame junctions, or hardware penetrations that would compromise the ballistic integrity of the complete installation.
Surface Protection & Cleaning
Protective film is removed from glazing panel surfaces. Surfaces are cleaned and inspected for installation damage. Scratch-resistant surface condition is verified for acrylic and glass-clad polycarbonate panels.
Documentation Handover
UL 752 test certification documentation for all installed glazing materials is compiled into the project handover package alongside installation records, material data sheets, and maintenance guidance for each glazing material type.
