An ultra thermal bullet resistant system is a fully engineered building envelope solution that combines high thermal performance, meaning energy efficiency, with certified ballistic protection in one integrated system. Traditionally, architects and owners have been forced to choose between energy efficient glazing systems or bullet resistant security systems. With Action Bullet Resistant’s new Ultra Thermal Product Line, that trade off no...

School security is no longer a theoretical discussion. It is a real-world responsibility that directly impacts the safety of students, teachers, and staff. In a recent LinkedIn poll, I asked a straightforward question: When it comes to school security, what is the biggest mistake being made?

For decades, fiberglass ballistic panels  have been the industry standard for wall protection in banks, schools, government buildings, and secure facilities. But technology has evolved—and today, LytArmor™ ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)  represents the next generation of lightweight, high-strength ballistic protection. Below is a clear breakdown of how these two materials compare, and...
