One of the most important differences between LytArmor Flex II and conventional ballistic wall panels is flexibility.
Traditional ballistic panels are typically rigid. That works well for conventional flat wall construction but can create challenges when ballistic protection needs to follow a radius or fit into a custom assembly.
LytArmor Flex II is engineered specifically for these applications.
Its flexible construction allows ballistic protection to be incorporated into:
This allows designers to incorporate ballistic protection into the architecture rather than designing the architecture around a rigid ballistic panel.
Flex I
The flexibility and lightweight construction of LytArmor Flex I create possibilities that are difficult to achieve with traditional rigid ballistic panels.
Typical applications include:
One of the biggest advantages of LytArmor Flex I is its weight.
At approximately 1.10 pounds per square foot, Flex I can significantly reduce the weight associated with traditional ballistic wall construction.
The lightweight construction also makes the material easier to handle and particularly attractive for vehicles, furniture, millwork, retrofit construction, and other weight-sensitive applications.
Traditional ballistic wall panels are rigid.
