What Are Non-Military Uses Of Armoring Glass Solutions?

/in /by

Armoring glass solutions is one of the many benefits of fabricated glass. Glass can be fabricated into a strong bulletproof material suitable for use on military vehicles. It can be made so strong that it can withstand the force generated by bullets and blasts. Fabricated glass has found uses in all industries including construction and design.

Let’s discuss the various non-military uses of fabricated glass

 

  1. Safe transportation

Fabricated glass enhances the safety of transport vehicles, especially trains. Trains get hit by flying objects while running at a high speed. These objects travel with air and can be as thin and small as a hair strand. But they generate a great force due to speed and can damage a regular windshield.

 

  1. Smart glass

Glass embedded with smart window technology can be quite helpful in many things like controlling light filtering from the window. For example, you can control the amount of light filtering inside your home with smart technology. Also, you can turn the glass from opaque to transparent according to your needs. This technology wasn’t available a couple of years back.

 

  1. Noise control

Just like light, you can control noise as well. Fabricated glass can prevent sound waves travel through the windows so that outside noise such as vehicles honking, dogs barking, and people talking loudly over phones doesn’t disturb your privacy. Similarly, the indoor sound won’t come out. Fabricated glass will make a transparent wall for sound waves.

 

  1. Interactive display

Fabrication allows embedding glass with Internet technology that can turn a window into a digital window display. Also, it is possible to digitalize all windows of a train so all passengers can enjoy their journey by interacting with the displays. Also, they can use the advanced features to control light and sound coming from the windows.

 

  1. Automobile windshields

Windshields used in automobiles are made of fabricated glass. For this reason, automobile windshields don’t break into pieces during accidents. They keep drivers and passengers safe from glass shreds. Today maximum demand for fabricated glass comes from the automobile sector,

Glass fabrication was initially used for providing armoring glass solutions to the world militaries and security forces of the world. However, the suitability of fabricated glass for various purposes made it an all-rounder. Today fabricated glass is used for everything that can made of glass. Fabrication technology has made fragile glass safe and more useful for modern industries.

Which Quality Glass Is Used For Armored Glass Solutions?

/in /by

The beauty of glass fabrication is that it allows transforming a piece of glass into anything from armor to a display. For this reason, world militaries rely on glass fabricators to obtain armored glass solutions for their vehicles. Armored glass is also suitable for strengthening the safety of transport systems and buildings.

Let’s discuss various applications of fabricated glass

 

  1. Military applications

Fabricated glass is highly resistant to bullets and blasts. For this reason, it is better suited for windshields on military vehicles like trucks, armored carriers, patrolling speed boats, and rescue helicopters. It is also used to make protective gear like bulletproof helmets and cabins. Cabins used for security personnel standing guard at banks and other institutions have windows made of fabricated glass.

 

  1. Passenger information system

Fabricated glass can be transformed into display units. A piece of glass can be embedded with smart technology that can turn the glass into an interactive display. It can show digital information from the web. Also, it can be controlled from a central system. These kinds of interactive display systems are great for public transport. For example, take a train where passengers can be updated about the upcoming stations on an interactive display.

 

  1. Architectural enhancement

An all-glass façade can improve both the quality and visibility of an edifice. Also, it can remain safe from foreign elements that can harm a piece of ordinary glass. For example, minute particles traveling can generate a force huge enough to pierce through a glass window. But fabricated glass can remain unharmed even in extreme weather conditions.

 

  1. Smart windows

Glass fabrication has made smart window display a reality. These windows can do much more than provide privacy. For example, they can help control light filtering from the glass. Also, they can cancel noise coming from outside. Similarly, they can prevent the inside sound from being heard from the outside.

 

  1. Cost effective

Glass fabrication provides a cost-effective solution to all the above-mentioned needs. Whether it is military applications or interactive displays, fabricated glass provides cost-effective solutions to all needs of modern people. Also, it provides durable solutions that keep working for a long time.

Glass fabrication is rightly called a game changer for the modern world. Glass is a lightweight item that can be put to many uses like obtaining armored glass solutions if it is made strong. Fabrication is the technology that enhances the strength of glass without compromising on its transparency or fluidity.
