Bulletproof Windows – When Is It Worth Choosing Maximum Security?

In today’s world, where security is becoming increasingly important, many people wonder how to effectively protect their home or business. Alarms and monitoring systems are essential, but secure windows are just as crucial. Windows are often the weakest point in a building’s security system.

That’s why there is growing interest in bulletproof windows, safety glass in classes P1, P2, P4, and anti-burglary window solutions. At AM Okna, we offer comprehensive solutions in this field—both for private clients and institutional customers.

What Are Bulletproof Windows?

Bulletproof windows are specialized window systems designed to provide the highest level of protection against firearms attacks. These windows feature:

• Bullet-resistant glass in classes BR1–BR7 according to the EN 1063 standard,

• Reinforced window frames, usually made of aluminum or steel,

• Anti-burglary fittings and security catches to prevent forced entry.

Such windows are used in strategic buildings, banks, embassies, and increasingly in private homes and luxury residences.

What Are P1, P2, and P4 Glass Panes – and When Should You Choose Them?

Not everyone needs bulletproof glass in classes BR4 or BR7. Often, safety glass is sufficient to protect against burglary, impacts, or accidental breakage.

Safety glass classifications according to EN 356 standard:

• P1A – Resistant to light hammer strikes; provides basic protection against accidental breakage.

• P2A – Protects against burglary attempts with simple tools like stones or sticks.

• P4A – High-resistance glass, requiring multiple heavy hammer or axe blows to break through. This is the most commonly chosen class for homes and offices for burglary protection.

How Do Bulletproof Glass Panes Work?

Bulletproof glass differs from P1–P4 safety glass because of its laminated construction:

• It consists of multiple thick glass layers,

• Between the glass layers are PVB films or polycarbonate sheets that absorb the energy of a projectile,

• When hit, the glass may crack but does not shatter into dangerous pieces (you can opt for the NS – No Spall version, which prevents splinters on the protected side).

Typical thicknesses of bulletproof glass range from 20 mm to even 60 mm, depending on the BR class.
