Security Glazing for Burglar, Bullet, Institutional & Fire Resistance tional & Fire Resistance

INSTITUTIONAL GLAZING:
Global Security Glazing' involvement with security glazing has spanned 24 years. Our multi-faceted products meet the needs of this challenging and ever changing market. Secur-Tem^® , Secur-Lite X^® , Secur-Tem + Poly^®, Inferno-Lite^®, PowR-Lite LPT and PowR-Lite LPT /AV are high performance institutional glazing products offered for use within correctional facilities, psychiatric hospitals, federal buildings and other hostile environments. Secur-Tem, Secur-Lite X and Secur-Tem + Poly products are covered by our Single Responsibility^® Program.

Secur-Tem and Secur-Lite X laminates containing Chem-Tem glass and pvb offer prolonged physical attack resistance but do not offer bullet resistance. They have been installed in over 830 security facilities. They meet the 1000 foot pound impact energy and hand tool attack required to protect high risk psychiatric patients when properly framed.

Secur-Tem + Poly glass-clad polycarbonate laminates utilizing Chem-Tem glass offer extensive physical attack and ballistic protection. These laminates have been installed in over 1125 security facilities. Unique products approved for State of California facilities meet the CDC-860-95a and preceding test standards. Also reference ASTM C 1349, a quality standard.

PowR-Lite LP and PowR-Lite LP/AV laminated plastics are designed to combine ballistic performance with attack resistance. They have been tested internationally and by WJE, U/L and H.P. White Laboratories. Discreetly manufactured for overseas customers for close to 6 years, they are now offered to meet domestic demands. Air Gap Systems are offered.

Secur-Tem + Poly and PowR-Lite LP have been tested to ASTM F 1915-98 security glazing test method as part of GANA's Security Glazing Test Program. Current maximum size for institutional glazing products is 60" X 96" (1525mm X 2440mm).

Silicone secondary sealed IG units are only available for products with glass on both sides of an airspace. Also see color, transparent mirror and "Reading Surfaces" data.

Secur-Tem, Secur-Lite X, Secur-Tem + Poly, PowR-Lite LP and Inferno-Lite products have been installed in over 2060 correctional and psychiatric facilities.

BULLET RESISTANT GLAZING:
Bullet Resistant (BR) asymmetrical glass laminates, in sizes 12" x 12" or larger, are U.L. listed to Standard 752. Smaller sizes require testing. U.L. frame systems are mandatory. BR laminates are not physical attack resistant and are not ideal for most areas of correctional facilities. One pass-through plus one speak hole is permitted per lite of BR glass. To maintain the U.L. listing, holes must be covered with U/L listed devices of the same performance level. Orders require written verification. IG units are not recommended. Armored vehicle glazing is required by 49 CFR Part 571, which incorporates ANSI Z 26.1, to have a minimum 60% light transmission which will be affected by the tint and performance level selected.

BURGLAR RESISTANT GLAZING:
Secur-Lite^® annealed glass laminates are designed to prevent "smash-and-grab" burglary attempts directed at retail establishments, jewelry and fur shops. Insurance discounts are usually available. Developed in 1968, it currently remains U.L. listed to Standard 972. 5/16" U.L. Listed Secur-Lite^® also meets Solutia's KeepSafeT Program criteria, Level I of ASTM F 1233 Forced Entry Test Standard.

Maximum sizes range from 84" X 120" (2130mm X 3046mm) to 84" X 204" (2130mm X 5178mm) dependent on glass thickness. Secur-Lite is not ballistic or prolonged physical attack resistant and is inappropriate for correctional facilities.

CURVED PARTS:
Global Security Glazing, in concert with Standard Bent Glass, offers curved U.L. Listed Bullet Resistant (BR) laminates for both vehicle and architectural applications. Products offered include our 1-1/8" nominal Armor Car Level 2 (357 Mag) and 1-7/16" nominal Armor Car Level 4 (30-06 Rifle).

FIRE RESISTANT GLAZING:
Wire glass added to a security product does not make it fire rated. Inferno-Lite^® was developed to provide U.L. tested and Listed fire resistance combined with safety and security. This performance is a necessary requirement for psychiatric and correctional facilities, hospitals and schools. Proper installation methods and fire-rated frames are mandated by U.L. for all Inferno-Lite^® products. Speakholes and pass-through holes are NOT offered.

FRP 100 is tested for Window Assemblies, ANSI/UL9, and Door Assemblies, UL10B with a Maximum Exposed Width or Length of 42". FRP 200, 300 and 400 are tested for Fire Rated B Labeled Doors. FRP 200 and 300 are wireless clear glazing. FRP 100 and 400 which contain wire glass, are intended for interior glazing only, as breakage may occur due to thermal stress.

Inferno-Lite FRP 100 meets Level 1 physical attack resistance as tested by H.P. White Laboratories in accordance with HPW-TP-0500.00 test method and resists .38 special handgun ballistics though fragments of spall are released. Inferno-Lite^® has been installed in over 105 security facilities to date.
