Blast Resistant Glass Block Windows

Seves LightWise® Blast Resistant Windows, or known as "Blast Resistant Windows," have been designed and tested to meet and exceed stringent government, military and international building requirements. These windows give you the beauty of glass with the utmost protection. Many injuries to building occupants are caused by glass fragments sent flying through the air from the force of a blast. Unlike flat glass, which will often crack and sometimes release fragments during a blast, there was no cracking or loss of glass in the tests conducted on our Seves LightWise® Blast Resistant Glass Block windows.

Add Superior Protection with Blast Glass

Boost safety with durable blast glass, designed to withstand extreme forces. Our solutions combine strength and style to meet your security needs.
