What are ballistic panels and how do they work?

Ballistic panels are composite fiberglass sheets that stop bullets and prevent penetration. They are lightweight, fire-rated, and easily concealed behind drywall, millwork, or furniture in secure facilities.

How are ballistic panels tested to UL 752 standards?

Panels are tested by firing specified calibers at 12" × 12" samples. To pass, they must stop all rounds without penetration or excessive spalling. Levels range from handgun to rifle and shotgun threats.

Are ballistic panels fire rated?

Yes. Most ballistic fiberglass panels achieve a one-hour ASTM E119 fire rating, providing both bullet resistance and fire protection during emergencies.

Can ballistic panels be installed behind drywall or furniture?

Yes. Panels can be hidden behind drywall, desks, judges’ benches, and millwork, providing discreet protection without changing the look of the room.

How are ballistic panels installed?

Panels can be cut with standard saw blades and fastened using drywall screws into wood or metal studs. No special tools are required, making them quick and cost-effective to install.
