How Does Security Glazing Work?
AGNORA glass undergoes a process known as lamination which combines two (2) thinner pieces of glass together to form a thicker more resilient piece. This forms the security glazing.
Laminates are extremely tear and puncture-resistant, designed to keep everything from car windshields from shattering and can even support broken glass bridges, skylights, railings and other structural assemblies.
Laminates can be further layered to creat an even more impenetrable surface. Our top security glass can resist impacts by midsized pickup trucks. That’s tough glass!
SECURITY GLAZING OPTIONS
Are your certifications useful anywhere in the world?
YES! AGNORA uses the European Standard EN356 which can be used worldwide. P5A, P6B and P8B offer equivalent protection to ASTM ___, ____, and ____ for forced entry and burglar resistance. Many European-based brands also adhere to this exacting standard, which creates a seamless transition in the construction of North American stores. Lastly, the EN356 standard provides a more robust, repeatable and destructive testing methodology, ensuring that you receive the top rated component.
