ENGINEERED FOR SPECIFICATION
For specifying architects, we deliver what matters most: certified performance, optical clarity, design preservation, and a system that doesn’t disrupt the building envelope. No frame modifications. No glazing schedule changes. No permit re-submittals. Your design intent stays intact.
Clear-Armor is optically clear with 87% visible light transmission and zero distortion. No yellowing, no hazing, no clarity degradation over the life of the installation. The building looks exactly as designed, daylighting, views, and aesthetic intent are fully preserved. Specifying ballistic protection no longer means compromising the visual experience.
Because Clear-Armor laminate applies directly to existing glass, the building envelope, frame profiles, glass-to-frame relationships, and sightlines remain exactly as specified. No add-on framing systems. No polycarbonate overlays creating depth or reflection differences. The protection is invisible from any viewing angle, interior or exterior.
NIJ Level IIIA certified through independent third-party testing by NTS Technical Systems, 15 shots, 3 samples, zero penetrations of .44 Magnum 240-grain SWCGC at certification velocity. UL 752 tested. GSA Blast Level 1&2 rated. Performance documentation is available for inclusion in specifications, submittals, and code compliance reviews.
Clear-Armor laminate holds glass in place through repeated impacts, defeating smash-and-grab, forced entry tools, and sustained physical assault. The glass cracks but does not fail, buying critical response time. Tested to industry forced-entry standards and proven in live deployments across schools, retail, and government environments.
Clear-Armor meets applicable building fire code requirements including ASTM E84 surface burning characteristics, ANSI Z97.1 safety glazing standards, CPSC 16 CFR architectural glazing, and BMAG Level 1 blast mitigation certification. No special variances required for code submittal.
Clear-Armor applies to the existing glazing as a laminate. No new framing systems, no glass replacement, no hardware modifications, no glazing schedule changes. The original window or curtain wall assembly remains structurally and visually intact, preserving the architect’s complete design intent.
Beyond ballistic performance, Clear-Armor rejects 99% of UV radiation. Interior finishes, art, fabric, furniture, and flooring are protected from fade. For institutional buildings with valuable collections, historic interiors, or premium finish budgets, this is meaningful long-term value preservation.
For projects requiring threat protection beyond standard NIJ Level IIIA, high-powered rifle threats, special government applications, or unique specifications, Clear-Armor builds custom applications stopping the largest caliber projectiles. Engineered to your specification, with full performance documentation and patent-protected technology.
