Question 1

What is the difference between UL Listed and tested to UL 752?

Accepted Answer

This distinction matters more than most buyers realize. A product that is "tested to UL 752" means the manufacturer ran their own tests - or had a one-time test done - and is reporting the results themselves. A UL Listed product has been independently tested by Underwriters Laboratories, a third-party organization with no financial interest in the outcome. Beyond the initial certification, UL Listed products also undergo quarterly maintenance testing, where random production samples are pulled without advance notice and retested. That ongoing accountability is what separates a genuine UL Listed panel from a self-certified claim. For institutional buyers, government procurement, and any project where documentation matters, UL Listed is the only standard worth specifying.

Question 2

Can fiberglass ballistic panels be installed in an existing building in the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is one of the primary reasons fiberglass is the material of choice for retrofit projects across the United States. Fiberglass ballistic panels are significantly lighter than steel alternatives, which means they can typically be integrated into existing wall assemblies without reinforcing the structural system. They install behind standard drywall and architectural finishes, so the renovation footprint is much smaller than most facility managers expect. Schools upgrading administrative vestibules, banks hardening teller areas in existing branches, and government offices adding protection to service counters are all common retrofit applications. The key is getting the level selection right before you start - retrofitting the wrong level creates a false sense of security.

Question 3

Are fiberglass ballistic panels really invisible after installation?

Accepted Answer

Completely. That's one of the most important practical advantages of fiberglass wall armor for institutional and commercial applications across the United States. The panels install behind drywall, sheetrock, or whatever architectural finish your building uses. From the inside, nothing looks different. There are no visible barriers, no reinforced aesthetic, no signal to building occupants or visitors that the walls have been hardened. For school administrators concerned about how security measures affect the environment for students, for bank managers who don't want to make customers feel like they're in a vault, and for healthcare facilities trying to maintain a welcoming atmosphere, this is often the deciding factor. The protection is there. Nobody needs to know it's there.

Question 4

Will fiberglass ballistic panels block cell phone or Wi-Fi signals in my facility?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a common concern, and it's worth addressing directly. Fiberglass is non-conductive and transparent to radio frequencies, which means cellular signals, Wi-Fi networks, and security system communications pass through fiberglass ballistic panels without interference. This is a meaningful difference from steel ballistic barriers, which do block RF signals and can create dead zones in protected areas - a real problem when you need emergency communication systems, wireless security cameras, and staff devices to function reliably. For government facilities, schools, and healthcare environments where uninterrupted communications are critical, fiberglass is the right material for this reason alone.

Question 5

What UL 752 level do most schools and banks in the United States actually need?

Accepted Answer

For the vast majority of schools, banks, credit unions, and retail environments across the United States, UL 752 Levels 1 through 3 address the realistic threat environment. Level 1 covers 9mm handgun threats. Level 2 covers .357 Magnum. Level 3 covers .44 Magnum. These three levels follow a linear progression and are appropriate for administrative offices, teller counters, transaction windows, and entry vestibules in most commercial and institutional settings. Levels 4 and above address higher-powered threats - high-powered handguns, submachine guns, and ultimately assault rifles - and are typically specified for police stations, courthouses, detention facilities, and government buildings with elevated threat profiles. The honest answer is that most buyers don't need Level 8. What they need is the correct level for their actual threat environment, properly specified and independently verified.

Question 6

Does Action Bullet Resistant serve facilities across the entire United States, or only certain regions?

Accepted Answer

We serve facilities across the entire United States. Our manufacturing facility is in West Islip, New York, and we work with government agencies, financial institutions, general contractors, architects, and end users nationwide. Whether you're specifying a school security upgrade in the Midwest, hardening a federal building on the West Coast, or retrofitting a bank branch in the Southeast, we engineer and manufacture to your project's specifications and deliver with full compliance documentation. We've been doing this since 1992, and our team carries more than 100 years of combined experience in architectural metals and ballistic glazing systems - the kind of depth that makes a difference when your project has specific, non-standard requirements.
