Bullet-proof safety glass BR4-NS/BR6-NS - Hammerglass
In an increasingly violent world where gunfire, terrorist attacks, vandalism and break-ins are part of everyday life, the need for modern protection products is increasing. Hammerglass ballistic protection includes unique, lightweight bullet-resistant solutions in the higher protection classes BR4-NS and BR6-NS (No Splinter), where laminated glass panes are combined with a Hammerglass pane to achieve the lowest possible weight and thickness. With our many years of experience and extensive knowledge, we are actively developing personal protection products for high-risk targets in national and local authorities, industry and commerce, and private individuals. Our splinter-free solutions are ideal for protecting premises where threats can occur: foreign embassies, national and local government bodies, banks, media companies, VIP residences, military facilities, nuclear power plants, etc.
Same protection - less thickness - less weight
Bulletproof or bullet-resistant glass is available in a range of thicknesses, depending on the level of protection required. Hammerglass' ballistic glass solution consists of a series of glass panes laminated together with a Hammerglass film. This shatter-proof solution is thinner and weighs considerably less than comparable pure glass solutions, which proves to be a major advantage in many situations - not least in sliding and hinged doors.
A BR6-NS glazing solution made entirely of glass is 63 mm thick and weighs almost 160 kg/m². Using Hammerglass in the package reduces the thickness to 39 mm and the weight to 90 kg/m². Incorporating Hammerglass into bulletproof reinforced stainless steel partitions (security classes FB4 and FB6, EN 1522) provides complete protection against ballistic attacks. Ballistic resistance refers to both the glass and its associated frame.
Classification of Bulletproof Glass
Bullet resistant glass is certified according to the European standard EN 1063. The different levels of protection are indicated by classes BR1 to BR7, with BR1 being the lowest and BR7 the highest. The most common protection classes are BR4 and BR6. Hammerglass ballistic glass solutions have been tested by the Ulm Ballistic Testing Office in Germany and certified as compliant with protection classes BR4-NS and BR6-NS.

BR1 | The lowest ballistic protection class, where a stronger glazing is tested with a light weapon of .22 LR caliber. To pass the test, the pane must withstand 3 shots from a distance of 10 meters. | |||||||
BR4 | Ballistic protection class according to which the glazing panel is tested with a .44 Magnum revolver. To pass the test, the panel must withstand 3 shots from a distance of 5 meters. | |||||||
BR6 | Higher ballistic protection class, where a stronger glazing is tested with a rapid-fire weapon (automatic carbine) and 7.62x51 NATO ammunition (also known as .308 Winchester). To pass the test, the pane must withstand 3 shots from a distance of 10 meters. | |||||||
NS | The glazing meets the requirements of class NS (No Splinter) if the inner glass layer does not break during the test. The NS classification means that in the event of a shot, no glass splinters or fragments enter the protected space. |
