Fiberglass Ballistic Panels

Fiberglass Ballistic Panels

Our Fiberglass Ballistic panels are manufactured using multiple layers of fiberglass cloth or woven roving that are bonded together with a pre impregnated resin under heat and pressure to form a ridged Bullet Resistant / Bullet Proof Panel. This is the same fiberglass that boats are made from, only with many more layers of the Fiberglass cloth used in the process.

What are some common design applications for Bulldog Fiberglass Ballistic Panels? Bullet resistant panels or sheathing are specified in many design situations. The more common applications include, Judge's Benches, courtroom protection for the Jury area and the Witness Box, within the woodwork of Tellers cages or counters in banks, as a bullet proof barrier or wall within government buildings, police stations, District Attorney's offices, U.S. Marshals offices, FBI and ATF offices, guard houses, control rooms within prisons, convenience stores, check cashing stores, etc. Bulldog Fiberglass Ballistic Panels are sometimes used within high-end residences to make a "safe room". Standard sheets sizes are 48"x96" Our Bulletproof Fiberglass Armor Panels are a very cost effective product, at a lower cost that Steel Armor Plate and very easy to cut and install.

How does Bulldog Fiberglass Ballistic Panels actually stop a bullet? Pricing Request
Our Fiberglass Ballistic Panels are designed to allow entry of the bullet (non-ricochet), and then defeat the energy of the bullet through a controlled process of ply-delamination. The correct ratio of fiberglass to resin, and the right amount of heat and pressure during that each layer of woven roving fiberglass will delaminate from one another and allow for a controlled, non spalling encapsulation of the bullet within the panel. The kinetic energy of the bullet is released or dissipated through this ply-release or delamination process.

Compared to older more traditional bullet resistant building materials such as plate steel, concrete or cinder blocks with sand, our Fiberglass Ballistic Armor Panels offers a lot more utility and ease. The panels are fairly lightweight ( 4.5 lbs per square foot @ UL Level 2 ), can be easily cut, drilled, sanded, painted, textured, and are more compatible with other wood or gypsum materials. Regular jobber drill bits can be used for drilling, masonry or diamond grit-edge blades for sawing, and our Fiberglass Ballistic Panels can be secured to wood or steel studs using a #6 or #8 self-drilling drywall screw or decking screw.

Fiberglass Ballistic Panels can be primed and painted with oil or water based paints, can be glued to other surfaces with Liquid Nails adhesives, and can be covered with drywall, wood panels, or literally any type of wall covering. Instructions for Installation are included with every order to assist skilled or novice installers. Standard sheets sizes are 48"x96". Pricing Request
