Bullet Proof Wall Panels for Your New Home - Did You Know?

These panels are designed to allow entry of the bullet (non-ricochet), and then defeat the energy of the bullet through a controlled process of ply-delamination. The correct ratio of fiberglass to resin, and the right amount of heat and pressure during the curing process, ensure that each layer of woven roving fiberglass will delaminate from one another and allow for a controlled, non spalling encapsulation of the bullet within the panel. The kinetic energy of the bullet is released or dissipated through this ply-release or delamination process.

Bullet resistant panels or sheathing are specified in many design situations. The more common applications include, Judge's Benches, courtroom protection for the Jury area and the Witness Box, within the woodwork of Tellers cages or counters in banks, as a bullet proof barrier or wall within government buildings, police stations, District Attorney's offices, U.S. Marshals offices, FBI and ATF offices, guard houses, control rooms within prisons, convenience stores, check cashing stores, ….etc. ArmorCore panels are sometimes used within high-end residences to make a "safe room" or bullet protected room for high threat situations. ArmorCore panels can be used anywhere there is a perceived or real threat of ballistic assault.
Compared to older more traditional bullet resistant building materials such as plate steel, concrete or cinder blocks with sand, ArmorCore offers a lot more utility and ease. The panels are fairly lightweight ( 4.5 lbs per square foot @ UL Level 2 ), can be easily cut, drilled, sanded, painted, textured, and are more compatible with other wood or gypsum materials. Regular jobber drill bits can be used for drilling, masonry or diamond grit-edge blades for sawing, and ArmorCore can be secured to wood or steel studs using a #6 or #8 self-drilling drywall screw or decking screw. ArmorCore can be primed and painted with oil or water based paints, can be glued to other surfaces with Liquid Nails adhesives, and can be covered with drywall, wood panels, or literally any type of wall covering. Instructions for Installation are included with every order to assist skilled or novice installers.
