Security Windows

Sometimes we don't necessarily like to admit it, but it is true. The more secure you can make your business the better. So, with that in mind there is a little something called security windows that would be a very good thing for you to look into. What security windows will do is to make break-ins more difficult and at the same time you will have peace of mind. When you think about it, it is your windows that are the weakest link and therefore the exact area that is picked on by burglars. Now, there is modern technology that will help counteract this possibility to a degree.

You can be assured that the staff at Michigan Specialty Glass knows all of the various characteristics of different forms of glass and we will be more than happy to talk about each one and help you decide which one you need for your business.

We will talk to you about installing the windows with hardened steel bolts and about the fact that it should also be foamed in with high grade Polyurethane foam for added security.

Another aspect of security windows that you need to know about are the various specifications there are for different levels or types of security glass. For instance, level A security is absolutely ideal for a private home or business and can withstand the impact of a 9 pound steel ball dropped on the window from the height of 30 feet. If you opt for level B security, you would be choosing glass that is ideal for homes of people with a high security risk, computer labs, jails, police, museums, jewelry stores, banks and other structures where there is a need for heightened protection. This kind of glass can withstand at least 70 hits of a sharp and machine driven 5 pound axe. And last but certainly not least, level C is ideal for situations where bullet resistant windows are needed.
