Security & Safety Glass
An alarm system can be a great deterrent against intruders, but it’s not a guarantee that someone can’t break in. If you are looking for peace of mind protection for your home and business, upgrade your windows and doors with safety glass. Safety glass offers an invisible layer of protection that is nearly indestructible.
This added layer of protective glass blends seamlessly into your home or storefront, and it can be easily retrofitted into existing windows, doors, and storefront frames (which helps keep installation time and costs down). Whether it’s protecting your family, securing your business, or safeguarding your prized possessions, security glass is your first line of defense. Glass Doctor®, your local glass specialists, are dedicated to providing top-notch safety and security glass solutions.
Safety Glass Essentials
Constructed to resist accidental breakage and unexpected intrusions, security glass is stronger, tougher, and more resilient than standard glass, providing an extra layer of protection for your home or business.
Security glass reinforces the structural integrity of:
- Windows and doors
- Storefronts
- Patio enclosures
- Skylights
- And more
Types of Security Glass
Laminated glass is a great option to level up your security and protection from forced entries, especially for glass storefronts, doors, and windows. During the manufacturing process, two or more glass panes are bonded together to create laminated glass. If impacted, the interlayer holds the fragments together, creating a strong barrier.
Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that undergoes a controlled heating and cooling process, making it five times stronger than regular glass. A popular choice for glass shower doors, glass shelving, and sidelight glass, tempered glass may even border your home’s front door.
Bullet-resistant glass, also known as ballistic-resistant glass, is a high-security option designed to protect against bullets and other projectiles. Made from multiple layers of laminated glass and polycarbonate, bullet-resistant glass creates a strong and impact-resistant barrier as you would see installed at banks as well as jewelry stores.

Our commitment to exceptional service and superior products includes providing answers that improve clarity on the glass topics that matter most to you. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about safety and security glass.
How does security glass improve safety?
Security glass can improve the safety of your home and business and offers superior:
Impact resistance: It's designed to withstand forces that would shatter ordinary glass, such as break-ins, vandalism, or accidental impacts.
Reduced injury: When it does break, security glass often fractures into small, less harmful pieces compared to traditional glass, minimizing injury risks.
Deterrence: Its presence can deter criminals, as it signals a property is better protected.
Protection from elements: Some types of security glass can also help offer protection against extreme weather conditions, like hurricanes or hail.
What maintenance does security glass require?
We recommend regularly cleaning your security glass with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to maintain clarity and appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools. If you notice any damage or cracks, it's essential to have it inspected and repaired by a professional as soon as possible.
Is safety glass bullet resistant?
No. Not all safety glass is bullet-resistant. Safety glass used in residential and commercial situations is typically bullet-resistant glass. The three most common types of bullet-resistant glass are bullet-resistant acrylic, laminated polycarbonate, and glass-clad polycarbonate. This glass is specifically designed to stop ballistics and is rated on a 1-8 scale, with 8 providing the most ballistic protection. If bullet resistance is a priority, discuss your options with our team.
Can safety glass be tinted?
Yes, safety glass can be tinted to match your aesthetic preferences and provide additional benefits like UV protection and heat reduction.
