We serve a wide range of industries that require protection from potential physical threats. Our product line of ballistic-grade laminates can be found in various locations throughout the U.S. including schools and universities, banks, hospitals, and law enforcement and government buildings.
Clear Armor helps K-12 districts and universities harden those doors and windows with bullet-resistant (BR) security laminate, giving students, teachers, and staff more time when a threat reaches the glass.
Most standard entrances are made of glass that fails on the first hard strike, immediately creating a clear opening. Our bullet-resistant (BR) laminate is a multi-layer film applied directly to a school's existing entrance doors, sidelites, and ground-floor windows, no glass replacement required. Under attack, the layers keep the pane intact instead of falling away, which is what actually buys staff the time to lock down until first responders arrive.
For a school, security window laminate provides a 24-hour barrier that works with or without power. This peace of mind is invaluable for a school district’s staff, students, and parents. While the glass will still crack and break, the pane will maintain its structure, and every strike an intruder wastes is time a classroom uses to initiate its lockdown procedure. A window with Clear Armor security laminate turns a break-in into a problem the attacker can't solve quickly, buying precious time for first responders.
Clear Armor builds that delay into their products, each tested to a published standard so schools know exactly what they're buying.
SL-15
SL-15 is a 15-mil laminate (420-psi breaking strength, tested to ANSI Z97.1) for forced-entry protection.
SL-31
SL-31 is a 31-mil laminate (1,100-psi breaking strength, tested to ANSI Z97.1) for prolonged or repeated attacks.
BR Laminate
BR laminate is the bullet-resistant tier (NIJ IIA), rated to stop common handgun rounds like 9mm, .40, and .45 — all on existing glass.
When a school trusts a company with the safety of its people, that company should be able to show its work. Clear Armor is the sole manufacturer and installer of its security laminates. All Clear Armor installers are properly background-checked and vetted so you always know who is coming to your building.
Every product is third-party tested, and Clear Armor is a TIPS-certified vendor and has Federal CAGE Code approval as a federal contractor. As a sole-source manufacturer, Clear Armor maintains the highest level of quality control for the product and installation.
Clear Armor's certifications reference UL level, ASTM International, ANSI, and NIJ standards. Our BR laminate carries an independent testing result for NIJ Standard 0108.01 Type II-A against 9mm on 1/4-inch glass.
Installers arrive in an unmarked truck and trailer and are willing to work with your schedule to cause the least disruption. Clear Armor installers are available to work first shift, second shift, and weekends on every project. This is provided at no additional cost to the client. All Clear Armor laminate products are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Is bulletproof glass for schools the same as bullet-resistant?
No. The majority of glass or laminate products are bullet-resistant. Clear Armor’s BR laminate resists multiple common handgun rounds, buying the time people need to lock down.
Can bullet-resistant laminate stop a school shooter?
Bullet-resistant laminate is built to delay a school shooter. Clear Armor’s BR laminate stops common handgun rounds and maintains its rigidity, so an attacker loses critical time at the entrance while staff locks down and first responders arrive. That time is crucial in keeping people safe. Every second is a life.
Is installing security laminate disruptive to school operations?
Not with Clear Armor. Clear Armor will work with your schedule to minimize disruption to your school day. Installers are available first shift, second shift, and weekends at no additional cost.
How much does school entrance security cost?
Cost depends on the protection level, the existing glass measurements, and what is involved in the installation. Every project is different, so working with a Clear Armor representative to determine your facility’s needs will help determine cost.
Every school entrance is a place someone’s child, teacher, or colleague passes through, and getting security right starts with knowing which openings are most exposed.
Clear Armor reviews school facilities and matches entrances with the ideal protection level. Every project is done as if their own families are going to be inside that building.
