Transparent Armor in a Peaceful life
Armored glass is
a transparent design that protects people and material assets located in the
room from damage or penetration from outside through the window opening. There
are several types of attacks, from which armored glass protects. In accordance
with this there are anti-vandal armored windows; burglar-proof armored windows;
bulletproof armored windows - protection against small arms; explosion
protection.

The armored window consists of an armored frame and armored glass. Armored glass is a
laminated glass, the layers of which are glued together by polymer films or
filled with a special polymer. The thickness of the armored glass (from 10 to
80 mm or more) determines the degree of protection. The large thickness of the
glass gives it a characteristic green opacity.
Armored glass
can also be made of glass using chemical additives (clarified glass). Despite
the thickness of the armored glass, it remains transparent and almost
indistinguishable from ordinary. Armored glass can be installed as part of a
double-glazed window to give the window good noise and heat insulation
properties.

The frame can be
made from the profiles of various materials. In practice, aluminum frames are
most often used, and steel frames, including stainless steel, are also used.
Wooden armored profiles are less commonly applicable.
To
give the frame protective properties, hardened or ordinary steel armored plates
are fitted into special cover pieces: they do not affect the appearance of the
window. The overlay should completely overlap the junction of the frame and the
armored glass - this is the most dangerous point for shooting or penetration.
