BulletShield™

Window Film DepotSafety & SecurityActive Shooter Mitigation

Ballistic Panels

Referred to as “Body Armor for Windows,” BulletShield is a revolutionary retro-fit ballistic protective system for existing windows and door glass. 

BulletShield is not exterior window film, but rather a clear polycarbonate security shield that’s mounted over existing window and glass doors, providing a bullet-resistant, impenetrable layer of clear glass protection.

It’s the ideal security glazing solution for:

  • Schools
  • Government buildings
  • Courthouses
  • Police stations
  • Houses of worship
  • Other vulnerable business public spaces

Next Level Ballistic Protection: BulletShield

As the bullet-resistant version of DefenseLite, BulletShield is independently tested to provide UL 752 ballistic ratings, preventing breach against 9MM, .44 Magnum, and AR-15 bullets, to name just a few.

BulletShield can be installed over your existing glass on the interior or exterior of the glazing frame, providing affordable retrofit protection for vision glass from bullet threats.

Bullet-Resistant Glazing vs. Security Window Film

Unlike most security window film treatments, BulletShield is bullet-resistant window glazing that’s specially engineered to protect building occupants from ballistic threats. BulletShield has been used by thousands of customers throughout the U.S., providing a transparent design that delivers unbeatable performance under attack.

While both BulletShield and DefenseLite are available for all types of applications, we can offer discounted programs offered specifically for schools and campuses. These programs are designed to help make schools safer – DefenseLite’s top priority of service. In addition to making bullet-resistant glass treatments more available to schools and educational facilities, there is also a program designed specifically for NSSF members and protecting stores from unwanted entry and inventory theft.

This product does differ from our one way privacy window film. If you’re interested in learning more about the
cost of 3m window film or any other 3m residential window film options, we have information available.

Is BulletShield Ballistic Glass?

BulletShield is a fully transparent polycarbonate product used on top of (retrofit) or to replace (reglaze) traditional glass in windows, doors and other applications. When unfamiliar with glazing solutiones searches for “ballistic glass,” they are likely unaware that traditional glass is not engineered to prevent bullet penetration. Polycarbonate solutions of adequate thickness are the product of choice in this category.

DefenseLite™ Forced Entry Glazing Solution

DefenseLite is a patented, retro-fit security shield mounted onto existing glazing creating unmatched forced entry protection. DefenseLite transforms windows and doors into impenetrable openings that are 250 times stronger than glass alone. DefenseLite is not an applied security film, but rather a heavy gauge architectural grade polycarbonate and extruded framing system designed to ‘keep the bad guys out’!

DefenseLite vs. Security Film

Engineered using unbreakable UV coated polycarbonates and proprietary anchoring mechanisms, DefenseLite protects schools, storefronts and buildings of all types from unwanted entry. DefenseLite seamlessly blends into the existing glazing adding a constantly deployed, invisible layer of protection without moving parts or creating an undesirable fortress like visual. 

DefenseLite has been independently tested with many different blunt force objects ranging from batons, hammers and hatchets with amazing results.  DefenseLite is not a window film treatment at all and outperforms applied safety and ballistic film solutions exponentially. 

While most security window films can delay entry for 30-45 seconds, DefenseLite is designed to stop vandals, smash and grab threats and forced entry attempts dead in their tracks. For retailers and storefronts, DefenseLite can protect your inventory against criminal trespass. For schools, educational institutions, and government facilities, DefenseLite can stop and deter intruders, protecting the people inside from harm.

DefenseLite is also almost entirely invisible to the eye once installed, making it a transparent solution for retrofit door and window protection. Not only does DefenseLite outperform laminated glass and security window film treatments, but it’s also more affordable than unsightly grills and other conventional glass protection measures with less life-time warranty and service costs.

Anatomy of the DefenseLite™ System

  1. Proprietary DefenseLite extrusion attaches to the existing frame and separates clear shield from primary glass
  2. ‘Unbreakable’ clear shield is affixed to the DefenseLite extrusion
  3. DefenseLite ‘Super Bond’ secures the systems to the existing glazing
  4. Customized edge banding and powder coating makes system virtually invisible upon installation

Hospital

Location: New York City

The Challenge

Evolved security threats created a new problem for the executive offices designed with floor to ceiling glass.

Each BulletShield polycarbonate panel was over 200 pounds and required precise installation fit into the existing glazing frames.

The Solution

WFD recommended Level 3 BulletShield retrofit panels in order to reinforce the existing glass with a thick and clear layer of ballistic protection.

Duration: Two weeks

The Result

A custom made BulletShield solution was installed successfully on the existing curtainwall glass and provides the protection requested while blending seamlessly into the building aesthetic.

Middle School

Location: Sandy Hook Region

The Challenge

Active shooter threats have created a new problem requiring technologies that help “keep the bad guy outside” without making  the school look like a fortified prison.

Custom made DefenseLite panels are architectural grade polycarbonate ‘clear shields’ that install onto or over your existing window and door frames creating a ‘forcefield’ of protection.

The Solution

WFD recommended and installed DefenseLite retrofit panels in order to reinforce the existing glass and provide for substantial forced entry protection

Duration: One week

The Result

Entrances at this school are now protected from forced entry and the system is unobtrusive. DefenseLite performs far better than security window film options and is more practical and durable than replacement glazing systems.
