Innovation in architectural and security glazing is often measured by how well strength and design can coexist. With ARMORGARD™ UltimateIsoclima Specialty Glass / Global Security Glazing has redefined that balance—introducing a groundbreaking solution that delivers dual protection from both ballistic and forced-entry threats while maintaining the clarity, durability, and design flexibility architects and end users expect.

Engineered for Dual Threat Protection

ARMORGARD™ Ultimate combines NIJ Level IIIA bullet resistance with ASTM F1233-21 forced-entry protection, providing a single, seamless system that shields against both bullets and physical attack. This dual certification makes it ideal for environments where security failure simply isn’t an option—from government and law enforcement facilities to retail storefronts, transportation hubs, and high-profile commercial spaces.

Durability Meets Design

Traditional laminated systems often rely on exposed plastics that can scratch, haze, or degrade over time. ARMORGARD™ Ultimate eliminates that weakness with a fully glass-exposed surface, delivering exceptional chemical and abrasion resistance. The result is a cleaner, longer-lasting finish that performs beautifully even under demanding cleaning or environmental conditions.

Built for Real-World Use

Because its outer surface is glass—not plastic—ARMORGARD™ Ultimate is easier to handle, install, and maintain. It resists delamination, minimizes installation damage, and stands up to real-world wear without compromising optical quality.

Form and Function, Together

Security no longer has to come at the expense of style. ARMORGARD™ Ultimate offers design flexibility with options for tinted or low-iron glass, printed or reflective finishes, bird-friendly patterns, and even smart-glass compatibility for dynamic shading or privacy control—all while maintaining top-tier ballistic and forced-entry protection.

A Step Forward in Innovation

ARMORGARD™ Ultimate represents more than product evolution—it’s a leap toward a safer, smarter future in glass performance. By uniting protection, aesthetics, and adaptability, Isoclima Specialty Glass / Global Security Glazingcontinues to push the limits of what security glazing can achieve.
