ArmourShield - Intruder Resistant Security Glass
Specifically designed to provide additional safety for personnel and protect critical areas in buildings, houses, marine vessels and land transportation, ArmourShield® slows down and restricts intruder entry.
Ideal for doors and windows that maintain the appearance of normal glass, ArmourShield® is specially designed and constructed to remain resistant under attack. This attribute causes attack weapons to simply bounce off the ArmourShield® window, making penetration all but impossible.
Even when broken, the tough inner-core of the thick poly-composite will lock the exterior attack resistant glass layers to enable greater attack resistance.
ArmourShield® comes in a number of thicknesses geared to provide a variety of security levels, resulting in protection from physical attack from five to thirty minutes (as detailed under AS3555.1 level 2) when used in an approved framing system.

ArmourShield® - Intruder Resistant Security Glass - Applications
Whether you need armoured glass or another type of safety glass depends on your specific applications. There are a wide range of security glass products, each designed to provide protection against a number of different threat levels.
In contrast, our intruder-resistant glass products are designed for protection against low-level attacks against buildings, vessels and office spaces. While they can be applied to high-security situations, these products are primarily designed to withstand attacks from non-ballistic, handheld weapons.

ArmourShield® - Testing & Certification - AS3555.1-2003
Glasshape® have carried out extensive testing of our intruder resistant glass to AS3555.1 Level 2 in independent laboratories in both New Zealand and Australia. The following videos show independent testing of our AS14T, AS17T & AS22T ArmourShield® products, all of which passed the required tests.
Testing to AS3555.1 Level 2 requires the glass to be attacked by two men using common hand tools, such as chisels, punches, wedges, screwdrivers, pliers, bolt cutters, hammers, axes, sledgehammers, pry bars and ripping tools—none of which exceeds 1.5m in length, nor 3.6kg in mass. The glass is then rated according to the time required to create an opening in it of no more than 620cm².
