What is Impact Glass?
We are all concerned about the safety of our families and homes.
Impact Glass provides a level of security, serenity and custom design options that otherwise cannot be realized with ordinary glass.
Specialized security glazing used in Impact glass transforms a window into a fortified line of defence. Our Impact glass passes the test for halting forced entry and is burglary-resistant. It is designed to keep people and property safe for longer, and multiple glazing options are available to suit your specific needs.

Enhanced security glazing is suitable for areas at risk of burglary. This level of risk prevention will extend deterrence to entry.

Annealed Glass
Breaks easily and produces long, sharp splinters.

Shatters completely under higher levels of impact energy, and few pieces remain in the frame.
Laminated Glass
May crack under pressure, but tends to remain intact, adhering to the plastic vinyl interlayer.
