Stay Safe with Amazingly Looking Bulletproof Walls

Indeed, for the purpose of protection, bulletproof walls can be a crucial element in many critical venues like:

  • Banks
  • Vital facilities
  • Embassies
  • VIP lounges
  • Public buildings
  • In some house rooms

The adequate design and installation of bulletproof systems is highly important to ensure optimum efficiency and achieve the purpose for which they were made. Surely, after so many security incidents that occurred lately in different parts of the world, bulletproof systems have grabbed the attention of many individuals and parties who need such protection.

Serious issues now arise regarding the materials used to manufacture such systems.

  • Are the materials of high quality to protect against all kinds of gunshots?
  • Have these materials undergone the required tests according to the international standards?
  • Are these materials and systems really capable of protecting and ensuring the safety of the client?

There are new types of bulletproof systems currently available in the market. However, they do not perform as required simply because they don’t meet the specifications or undergo international tests required to guarantee the integrity of these systems.

How to build the optimum bulletproof wall?

Good quality bulletproof walls should have all their panels secured at the edges, because the connections where the panels meet can represent a point of weakness if the issue was not properly treated. Afterwards, the panels are cladded so as to look exactly like ordinary panels. 

The design of the structure to be secured can come as an obstacle in the way of the efficiency of bulletproof walls. Because of:

  • electrical and data wirings
  • plumbing work
  • ventilation shafts

sometimes clients may prefer the removal of some parts of the bulletproof wall around these installations to cut down the costs. Fortunately, it is not considered a serious flaw as opposed to drywall screws that substantially weaken these walls. This is why it is better for bulletproof systems to be considered firsthand in design and construction.

Knauf products and specifically the drywall bulletproof systems, with their premium quality, come to prove themselves as the best. They are manufactured according to the international codes, standards and tests in order to guarantee the best quality and efficiency.
