The Architectural Compromise of Traditional Level 3 Bullet Resistant Glass
April 11, 2026
For decades, specifying UL 752 Level 3 protection meant accepting significant architectural trade-offs. Traditional ballistic glass, while effective at meeting a defined threat level, functions as a brute-force solution. It imposes its physical demands on the building and forces architects and engineers to design around the security glazing rather than integrating protection within the design.
