Bulletproof glass

MEGAL has over 45 years of experience in security technology and the production of bullet-resistant joinery. One of our specialties is bullet-resistant glass, which provides safety in various types of buildings and vehicles. Manufactured using the finest materials, research, and standards, they meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers.

Bulletproof glass: ballistic levels from BR2 to BR7

The bullet-resistant glass we offer is a specialized type of glass designed to safeguard the lives and health of its users. Thanks to its strength and broad range of applications, MEGAL glass is used in facilities where personal safety and the protection of valuable assets are of utmost importance.

Our product range covers all resistance classes against firearm attack – from BR2 up to BR7.

This classification is defined by the EN 1063 standard . In line with this standard, every pane we produce is supplied with a certificate confirming its resistance class, issued on the basis of tests carried out by internationally accredited certification bodies.

Bullet-resistant glass made for special purposes must first and foremost protect human life as well as the property inside. That is why we regularly conduct testing to confirm the precision and quality of our products.

Each pane can be manufactured in two variants:

• S (spall) – spall-resistant, with controlled glass spalling on the protected side,

• NS (no-spall) – non-spalling, in which no fragments occur on the protected side.

Bulletproof glass – properties and purpose

The bullet-resistant glass offered by MEGAL is widely used in bank buildings, currency exchange offices, pawnshops, jewelry stores, private homes, and special-purpose vehicles – that is, any place where there is a high risk of an attack involving the use of firearms or armed robbery. It can be installed in exterior windows, storefronts, entrance doors, and cashier stations.

In addition to their ballistic protection, these security glazing systems are also rated for forced-entry resistance, capable of withstanding impacts from tools such as sledgehammers or axes. This ensures long-term durability and makes them an excellent investment for anyone seeking maximum security.

Types of Bulletproof Glass

Bulletproof glass can be used on its own or combined with insulating or reflective glass.

A pane of bulletproof glass measuring 500 x 500 mm must withstand the impact of three bullets fired into the corners of a triangle with a side length of 125 mm.

Bulletproof glass is classified into two types: splintering (S) and non-splintering (NS). In splintering glass, when hit by gunfire, glass fragments appear on the protected side. In non-splintering glass, no fragments occur on the protected side, ensuring that people behind the glass remain unharmed.

Megal Bulletproof Glass – Key Advantages

• Versatility of use – Bullet-resistant glass is suitable for banks, exchange offices, pawnshops, jewelry stores, as well as homes and special-purpose vehicles. It provides effective protection not only for human health and life but also for valuable property. It can also safeguard historic artifacts and exhibition items, and serve as a barrier for animals in zoos.
• The highest level of protection – Achieved through the use of bulletproof glass combined with state-of-the-art technological solutions. All bullet-resistant glass in our offer are thoroughly tested and come with appropriate certifications.
• Exceptional durability – MEGAL bulletproof glass is built to withstand not only bullets but also burglary attempts, axe strikes, and other sharp tools. Because we do not use polycarbonate, our ballistic glass avoid the common drawbacks of such materials – they do not yellow, haze, or weaken over time, even under demanding weather conditions. This ensures lasting clarity, strength, and reliable protection against any attempt to shatter or breach the glass.
• Two available types available for our customers – splintering “S” and non-splintering “NS,” allowing customers to choose the option best suited to their individual needs.

Our products can also shield against extreme weather events, such as strong freezing hurricane winds. The durability of MEGAL’s bulletproof glass is confirmed by a Product Certificate issued by the Department of Antarctic Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. This certificate was awarded following the installation of glass in the greenhouse of the Polish Henryk Arctowski Antarctic Station , located on King George Island in Antarctica.

One Standard for All of Europe – Unified Requirements Through EN Standards

The PN-EN 1063 standard is the Polish implementation of the European standard EN 1063. In accordance with the principles of the European Single Market, each member state publishes the same European standard (EN) as its own national standard, without introducing any substantive modifications.

Therefore, the Polish standard PN-EN 1063 is technically identical to its counterparts in other countries, such as:

DIN EN 1063 (Germany)

NF EN 1063 (France)

ČSN EN 1063 (Czech Republic)

LST EN 1063 (Lithuania)

This ensures that a product certified according to this standard in one EU country meets the same stringent safety criteria in every other member state.

Not Just Bulletproof Glass

We offer not only armored glazing, but complete bullet-resistant window systems. All products are available in certified protection classes FB3 to FB7 in accordance with EN 1522.

Blast-Resistant Options
For projects that require protection against explosions, we also supply blast-resistant glazing.
