Blast Resistant Glass Block

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.
