AssaultGuard
Description

AssaultGuard™ is a specialised laminated security glass with a thick interlayer that provides strong resistance to forced entry while resembling clear architectural glass. It’s designed for commercial and high-risk retail glazing where improved resistance to attack is needed.

 

Key Features
  • Enhanced Forced-Entry Resistance – Interlayer approx. four times thicker than standard laminates offers a strong physical barrier against smash-and-grab attacks and forced entry.
  • Resists Common Tools – Designed to withstand repeated impacts from hand tools, bricks, hammers and similar threats.
  • UV Protection – Reduces up to ~99% of UV radiation to help slow fading of interior finishes.
  • Reduced Noise – Offers better acoustic performance than ordinary float glass.
  • Visual Clarity – Maintains transparent appearance for architectural aesthetics.
  • Integratable with IGUs – Can be combined with other glass types in insulated glass units for added thermal or privacy benefits.
  • Safety-Rated Laminated Glass – Meets Grade A safety glass standards (e.g., AS/NZS 2208).
Scope of Use
  • Commercial Applications – Ideal for shopfronts, display counters, pay booths, and glazing with vulnerable entry points.
  • Display & Retail Glazing – Suitable where valuable items are displayed and higher resistance to break-ins is required.
  • Windows, Doors & Facades – Can be specified for commercial windows, doors, and glazed facades subject to design requirements.
  • IGU Assemblies – Works as a laminated component within double- or triple-glazed units to combine security with thermal or acoustic functions.
Statement of Building Code Compliance

AssaultGuard™ is a Grade A safety laminated glass manufactured to comply with safety glazing requirements under AS/NZS 2208 and can assist in meeting NZ Building Code clauses such as F2 Hazardous Building Materials, when specified and installed correctly within compliant framing and with appropriate safety glass placement.
