Bullet Resistant Glass
Developed for military or special purpose, the bullet-resistant glass provides all-round protection against any external ballistics and/or projectiles targeted at the car body. Currently, AIS can produce BR6 standard bullet-resistant glasses in the thickness range of>40 mm.
Features and Benefits
- All-round protection from external ballistics and projectiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
The best bullet resistant glass for cars largely depends on the level of protection required. For most high-risk situations, BR6 and BR7 standard bullet-resistant glass are considered top choices, as they offer comprehensive protection against long-range firearms and high-velocity bullets.
The price of bulletproof glass for cars varies widely based on the level of protection and thickness. Basic ballistic glass, designed to stop small arms, may be less expensive due to its limited protection, while higher-grade glass, which can withstand rifle rounds, costs significantly more due to its advanced protection capacity.
The strongest type of bullet resistant glass is multi‑layer laminated glass, which, as the name suggests, is manufactured with multiple sheets of glass. Its strength depends on total thickness. The thicker the glass, the higher the protection.
Bullet-resistant glass, also known as ballistic glass, protects passengers by absorbing and dispersing the bullet’s kinetic energy through its layered structure. The hard outer glass layer flattens or deforms the bullet upon impact. The softer, inner layers flex to absorb the remaining energy, stopping the projectile from penetrating the cabin and preventing dangerous glass fragments from flying inwards. This way, the driver and the passengers inside the vehicle are safe and protected.
Bulletproof car glass is significantly thicker than standard car windows, typically exceeding 40 mm in thickness, depending on the level of protection required. This extra thickness is achieved through multiple layers of glass and strong materials, designed to absorb and stop bullets.
No, attack resistant glass cannot stop all types of bullets. Its effectiveness depends on the glass’s thickness, layers and the type of ammunition fired. For example, AIS’s BR6 standard bullet-resistant glass, with a thickness of greater than 40 mm, can protect against any external ballistics and/or projectiles targeted at the car body. On the other hand, a lower-standard bullet-resistant glass cannot offer the same level of protection. It may stop small-calibre handguns but can be penetrated by higher-velocity rounds.
Bullet-resistant glass is engineered to offer protection while maintaining clear visibility. While very thick glass may slightly reduce light transmission, modern manufacturing makes sure drivers can see clearly in almost any condition. Keeping the glass clean and well-maintained also helps preserve optimal clarity.
