Bulletproof and Blast-Resistant Glass – Saving Lives in High-Risk Scenarios

The 2016 terrorist attack on a Berlin Christmas market underscored the deadly consequences of inadequate building protection. Had the venue installed blast-resistant glass, casualties from flying shards could have been reduced. At KFORTS, we engineer bulletproof glass windows and doors to EN 1063 (Bullet Resistance Classes BR1-BR7), EN1522 and EN1523 (FB1-FB7) and EN 13541 (Blast Resistance), providing life-saving shielding against ballistic and explosive threats.

In 2020, a bank in Paris survived an armed robbery attempt thanks to ballistic-resistant glazing that stopped multiple gunshots. Our bulletproof solutions combine laminated glass with PVB interlayers, absorbing impact while maintaining clarity. For government buildings and embassies, we offer anti-explosion glass curtain walls certified to ISO 16933 (Blast Testing), mitigating structural damage from bomb blasts.

KFORTS’ blast-proof systems also comply with EN 1364-1 (Fire Resistance, EI60, EI120), offering multi-hazard protection. Whether for financial institutions or high-security facilities, our bullet-resistant glazing ensures resilience without compromising architectural vision.
