Security glazing application gallery
Project examples are provided as application references. Ballistic performance must be matched to the applicable standard, threat level, tested construction, thickness and installation configuration.
Bank teller glazing — example application. Clear hard-coated bullet-resistant polycarbonate constructions can be considered for teller windows. Threat level, tested construction, thickness, framing and transaction-opening details must be matched to the project requirements.
Full teller-line partition — example application. Security glazing can be configured with transaction trays and framed openings. Required ballistic and forced-entry performance should be defined by the project specification and verified for the complete tested system.
Checkpoint booth — example application. Multi-layer transparent security glazing may be specified for higher-threat applications. The applicable threat classification, test standard, laminate construction, thickness and framing should be verified from the relevant test documentation.

RIVER PEOPLE PLEXIGLASS (RP) engineers and supplies bullet-resistant polycarbonate panels for banks, jewelry stores, government facilities, retail displays, riot control, and industrial containment. Starting from solid PC resin and reinforced multi-layer laminates, ballistic polycarbonate systems can be specified for defined threat-level requirements while maintaining transparency for applications such as teller windows and security glazing. Final performance should be verified against the applicable tested construction and complete glazing system. The applicable ballistic standard, test configuration, thickness, and certification should be confirmed for each project.
Specifying ballistic polycarbonate panels
- Fragment and visibility performance. Spall, fragmentation and post-impact visibility depend on the tested laminate construction, impact location, threat level and glazing configuration; verify these properties from the applicable test report.
- Weight and handling. Polycarbonate-based constructions may reduce glazing weight compared with some glass-based systems, but the actual comparison depends on the required threat level, tested construction and total system thickness.
- Transparent and optically clear for bank teller windows, ticket booths, and drive-through barriers.
- Custom fabrication. Flat, formed or routed configurations may be considered from project drawings; feasible thickness, dimensions, forming and bonding requirements should be confirmed for the selected construction.
- Project documentation. Availability of ballistic test reports, certificates or other documentation depends on the selected construction and should be confirmed before ordering.

Why buyers specify RP
For a security-glazing enquiry, provide the required threat classification, project drawings, panel dimensions, framing details, quantity and destination. Confirm the supplier scope, tested construction, fabrication limits, documentation, packing and delivery terms in the written quotation.
Send the required threat classification, drawings, panel size, quantity and destination for quotation review. The proposed construction must be assessed against the applicable test documentation and complete framing system.
Discuss Your Security Glazing Requirements or email oversales@rpplexiglass.com. Price, availability, delivery and return terms are confirmed in the written quotation.
Ballistic polycarbonate and ordinary PC sheet are different specifications
Polycarbonate is used in many impact-resistant products, but the material name alone does not establish bullet resistance. A security glazing enquiry should identify the required threat classification and the exact proposed construction. A generic polycarbonate data sheet, a demonstration video or an unrelated laminate report is not evidence for the glazing being ordered.
Compare offers using the tested construction, panel dimensions, orientation, surface treatment, frame interface and permitted fabrication. Identify any transaction openings or other changes from the tested specimen and ask how the applicable evidence covers them. Do not treat the search term “bulletproof polycarbonate” as a promise of protection against every threat.
For the wider facility brief, read the polycarbonate security glazing selection guide. Use our fabrication and installation support services to agree the supply boundary, and request the matching documents through the existing quotation link.
Bullet-resistant polycarbonate sheet: quotation checklist
To compare ballistic polycarbonate sheets or panels, use one panel schedule for all suppliers. State the required standard and classification, exact construction, dimensions, quantity and installation location. Ask each supplier to identify the evidence and any differences from the tested specimen.
- Panel schedule: opening size, finished panel size, quantity, orientation and drawing revision.
- Assembly: frame, edge engagement, joints, transaction openings and permitted fabrication.
- Service conditions: indoor or outdoor use, temperature, cleaning method and coating requirements.
- Acceptance documents: report number, laboratory, specimen identification, results, scope and traceability.
Start with the security glazing specification table, then review the technical documents and submission checklist. For pricing and delivery, send your security glazing panel schedule; the construction and supply scope must be confirmed before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which ballistic standards do the bullet-resistant polycarbonate panels meet?
Define the required ballistic standard and threat classification in the project specification. Request a test report for the exact glazing construction and installation scope before accepting any certification claim. This page does not establish UL 752 certification for an RP product.
Q: What are the typical applications?
Common applications include bank teller glazing, full teller-line partitions with transaction trays, and checkpoint booths, where multi-layer transparent security glazing is required. Threat classification, laminate construction, thickness and framing should be confirmed against the project specification.
Q: Can the panels be custom-fabricated?
Fabrication must stay within the scope permitted for the proposed tested construction. Agree panel dimensions, edge work, drilling, openings and framing before ordering; changes should not be assumed to retain a ballistic classification.
