BULLETPROOF GLASS

Bulletproof Glass in Vereeniging & Gauteng

When the safety of your people, cash, or premises can’t be left to chance, bulletproof glass turns an ordinary window or counter into a serious line of defense. At Drakes Aluminium & Glass, we supply and professionally install bullet-resistant glass for businesses and homes across Vereeniging, the Vaal Triangle, and greater

Gauteng — engineered to slow, absorb, and stop an attack before it reaches the people behind it.
Established in 2014, Drakes has built its reputation on precise fabrication, honest advice, and workmanship that holds up under pressure. Security glass is one of the few products where cutting corners can cost a life, so we treat every installation with the care it deserves.

What Is Bulletproof Glass?

“Bulletproof glass” is the term most people search for, but in the industry it’s correctly called bullet-resistant glass (BRG). No transparent panel is completely impervious to every firearm — instead, each product is engineered to resist a specific threat level.

It will reliably stop the calibers it’s rated for while remaining clear, functional, and presentable. It works through layering. Multiple sheets of glass are bonded with tough interlayers (such as polycarbonate or PVB).

When a round strikes the surface, the energy is spread sideways and absorbed layer by layer, slowing the projectile until it stops.

The outer glass may crack, but the laminated structure holds together — no shattering, no spray of fragments, and no easy way through.

Where Bulletproof Glass Is Used

South African businesses face real, everyday security risks, and bullet-resistant glass is a proven, unobtrusive way to manage them.

Common applications include:

• Cash offices & teller points — protect staff handling money

• Petrol stations & 24-hour stores — secure night-pay and transaction windows

• Pay windows, ticket booths & service hatches — safe cash and document handling

• Reception & front-of-house — first-line protection without an “armoured” look

• Shopfronts & retail counters — guard high-value stock and personnel

• Residential safe rooms & vulnerable entry points — peace of mind at home

• Security control rooms & guardhouses — keep operators protected on duty
