Bullet-resistant glazing is made by layering glass and polycarbonate to stop bullets from passing through. It absorbs impact and prevents dangerous glass fragments (spall) from reaching the protected side.
It looks like regular glass—clean and transparent—but is much thicker due to its layered construction. When shot, it traps the bullet and breaks internally, remaining mostly intact for safety.
Level 3: 1.25″ thick, resists 3 shots from a .44 Magnum (ideal for schools, banks, museums)
Level 8: 2.4″ thick, resists 5 shots from a .308 Winchester (used in high-security facilities)
It protects people inside buildings from gun violence and flying debris. Common applications include schools, banks, police stations, government buildings, jewelry stores, and areas prone to tornadoes.

“No spall” means that when the glass is struck by a bullet, no dangerous glass fragments escape from the protected side—keeping people safe.
It dates back to 1903 when French chemist Edouard Benedictus discovered laminated glass. It’s evolved from military applications in WWII to use in commercial and public safety today.
While timelines may vary by project, Liberty Shielding handles everything from design to delivery to ensure fast, secure installation with expert support.
