Isoclima Specialty Glass, the pioneer of safety and security glazing solutions, has introduced VISIONGARD X™, an advanced privacy glass designed to meet the unique demands of detention centers and high-security facilities. Combining cutting-edge polarized technology with proven durability, VISIONGARD X™ is transforming the way correctional facilities approach privacy, safety, and control.

A New Standard in Privacy Glazing

Unlike traditional one-way mirrors that rely on lighting differences, VISIONGARD X™ privacy glazing uses advanced polarized interlayers to control directional vision. This ensures visual isolation between opposing areas while still allowing staff clear observation from designated viewing zones.

For detention facilities, this means unprecedented control over sightlines — preventing inmate-to-inmate visibility while maintaining officer oversight. The result is safer environments, reduced tension, and enhanced facility management.

Designed Specifically for Detention Center

VISIONGARD X™ was engineered with correctional applications in mind, offering multiple benefits across facility operations:

  • Cell-to-Cell Privacy: Blocks visual contact between inmates in opposing cells, reducing communication and potential conflicts.
  • Administrative Areas: Provides staff with visual control while safeguarding sensitive operations.
  • Interview Rooms: Creates confidential spaces for attorney-client meetings, investigations, or parole hearings.
  • Medical Areas: Ensures patient privacy during examinations and treatment within secure settings.
  • Visitation Areas: Controls visibility while still enabling communication between inmates and visitors.

This level of controlled transparency improves security while respecting the need for privacy in sensitive areas.

Built for Performance and Integration

VISIONGARD X™ panels are constructed with precision:

  • Directional Privacy Control: Polarized interlayers for true visual separation.
  • Flexible Sizes: Available in matched pairs up to 56″ x 56″, with custom sizing options.
  • System Integration: Can be incorporated into impact-resistant and security glazing assemblies for added protection.
  • Single Responsibility® Manufacturing: Every panel is produced under Isoclima’s rigorous quality program, ensuring full accountability from start to finish.

This product is designed not only for detention centers but also for government buildings, interview suites, and healthcare spaces within secure facilities, where privacy and safety must coexist.

Pioneering Innovation in Security Glass

For decades, Isoclima Specialty Glass has led the way in laminated security glazing, forced-entry resistant glass, and ballistic protection. With the launch of VISIONGARD X™, Isoclima once again demonstrates its role as an innovator, delivering solutions that address real-world challenges in correctional environments.

By combining privacy, performance, and proven durability, VISIONGARD X™ sets a new benchmark for detention facility glass solutions, strengthening safety for staff and inmates alike.
