Blast Resistant Glass
Blast resistant glass is an essential solution for businesses across the UK seeking to protect staff and infrastructure from the severe impact of blast attacks. This specialised glass is designed to withstand explosions and mitigate the risk of injury or structural damage. Unlike standard glass, which is often the weakest point in a building, blast resistant glass offers superior protection and is tested to pass EXV 10, EN 13541, and ISO 16933 standards. This makes it ideal for high-risk sectors such as military, government, petrochemical, and high-value retail industries.
While some people refer to it as “blast proof glass,” this term can be misleading as no glass is completely impervious to blasts. Instead, blast resistant glass significantly reduces the potential damage from explosions. For more on the difference, check out our detailed blog post.
Our blast resistant glass solutions are highly customisable, ensuring they meet your specific size, material, and security requirements without compromising visual appeal. In addition to protection, they also offer an aesthetic finish, maintaining the building’s design integrity. We also provide tailored logistics and packaging, ensuring easy assembly and installation for your project.
Damage To People And Infrastructure In Blast Attacks
The UK is prone to blast attacks which poses a huge threat to human life and infrastructure. Despite glass being required to allow natural light into a building, glass is often the weakest component of any building due to its brittle nature and therefore it subsequently fails to prevent the damaging effects to the infrastructure and to those inside.
