IntruderGuard
Description

Viridian IntruderGuard is for residential buildings and specialised commercial applications. IntruderGuard looks like normal glass yet provides a barrier to forced entry that is 20 times harder to break through than standard float glass and it achieves this without making a building look like a fortress. IntruderGuard is specifically developed to offer a resilient and enduring barrier for vulnerable entry points across a broad range of applications.

IntruderGuard is a 7.52mm laminated glass and provides extra resistance to penetration because its interlayer is four times thicker than normal laminated glass.

Key Features
  • Enhanced Security Barrier – About 20x harder to break through than standard float glass.
  • Thick Security Interlayer – Laminated glass with an interlayer four times thicker than normal laminates.
  • Resists Forced Entry – Designed to resist attacks from common hand tools, bricks, hammers, etc.
  • Grade A Safety Glass – Tested and certified to safety standards for laminated glass.
  • UV Protection – Absorbs 99% of UV radiation, reducing furniture fading.
  • Noise Reduction – Provides better acoustic performance than ordinary glass.
  • Integratable with IGUs – Can be incorporated into insulated glass units with other glass types (e.g., Low-E or privacy glass).
  • Aesthetic Transparency – Appears similar to clear glass, maintaining visual clarity.
Scope of Use
  • - Residential Applications – Ideal for windows and doors on homes especially at vulnerable entry points.
  • - Low-Rise Commercial – Suitable for offices, low-rise commercial facades and display areas requiring basic security.
  • - Windows, Doors, Facades & Display Cases – Can be used wherever improved security glazing is desired.
  • - Custom IGU Assemblies – Works in insulated glass units for combined benefits (security + energy efficiency).
