Blast-Resistant Glazing Facade Systems
Protective Glass Solutions That Balance
Overview
Glazing design to absorb impact while preserving structure & life safety
At Al Abbar, our blast-resistant glazing systems are engineered as the first line of defence – combining laminated glass strength with energy-absorbing interlayers to mitigate impact, injury, and structural damage.
Key Features & Benefits
Reduces risk, injury, and downtime
through certified blast-proof design
Fragment Retention
Glass remains securely bonded to polymer interlayers, preventing dangerous projectiles that cause 75% of blast-related injuries.
Laminated Construction
Optimal combination of glass rigidity and polymer energy absorption using advanced PVB interlayer technology.
ISO 16933 Certified
Independently tested and verified to withstand specified blast loading conditions with documented performance data.
Structural Integration
Frame anchorage systems designed to transfer dynamic blast loads as static loads to the building structure.
Design Flexibility
Available in multiple protection classes (I-IV) to meet specific threat levels and architectural requirements.
Expert Support
Complete design, calculation, and installation support from certified blast protection specialists.
Protection Classification System
Select from multi-tier protection classes
based on threat environment needs
Class I – Elastic Response
Glass remains elastic under blast loading.
Suitable for lower threat levels with minimal permanent deformation.
Classes II, III, IV – Plastic Response
Controlled plastic deformation allows energy absorption while maintaining structural integrity and fragment retention.
Material Options
- Laminated safety glass with PVB interlayers
- Fully tempered glass systems
- Custom polymer interlayer configurations
Rigorous Testing Standards
Certification through real-scale blast trials and frame retention assessments
ISO/FDIS 16933 Compliance
Our blast-resistant glazing systems undergo comprehensive independent testing to verify their ability to withstand specified blast loading conditions.
Testing Parameters:
- Peak pressure resistance measurements
- Impulse duration analysis
- Fragment retention verification
- Structural integrity assessment
- Frame performance evaluation
Quality Assurance: Every system is backed by certified test data and detailed performance documentation.
