The need to protect one’s home, starting from the entrance, is quite common. For this reason, many people often consider equipping their home with armored doors with shatterproof glass as the most appropriate solution.

Is it really the best choice? Let’s start with an important premise: an armored door with glass can also satisfy the desire to keep the interior environment bright.

In this case, we can affirm that security, thermal insulation, and protection against weather elements are well present in a door with shatterproof glass.

A noteworthy aspect is the elegance of these doors, which stand out from the classic doors made from a single material.

A “detail” that certainly adds charm and can give a unique welcome to a home that wants to stand out.

Various Types of Shatterproof Glass

Where should one begin when choosing armored doors with shatterproof glass? A good first step might be to get to know the main types of shatterproof glass, usually divided into four categories:

  • Bulletproof glass
  • Crime-resistant glass
  • Vandal-resistant glass
  • Glass with safety features

Naturally, the preference for one type of glass over another depends on the specific needs and performance required.

An important factor to consider is the breakage resistance offered by the glass, with its thickness designed based on the client’s requirements.

Polycarbonate Film: A Guarantee of Safety for People

Do you know what distinguishes excellent shatterproof glass from low-quality glass? Its reaction to breakage. The concept we are about to explain is valid for both armored doors with shatterproof glass and transparent elements used in buildings like banks or luxury shops.

When one of Isoclima’s glass panels breaks, the shards produced by the breakage are “contained” by the polycarbonate film or structural interlayers, preventing serious accidents for the people involved.

The structure, therefore, remains cohesive and, even though shattered, stays stable, avoiding dangerous consequences.

Our flagship product when it comes to shatterproof glass is OmniLite®, a transparent material made using a multi-layer technology that incorporates a central polycarbonate sheet.

We laminate the panels according to the required level of protection, ensuring that each of our products represents the highest level of security.

The “low-altitude” economy is taking off
A blend of a helicopter and drone, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) is propelling the low-altitude economy forward. The so-called “low-altitude economy” is an emerging and fast-growing economic sector focused on activities, businesses, and services operating in the airspace below 3,280 feet. This new frontier is largely being driven by the rise of eVTOLs—electric …
