Infrastructure and security are on everyone's mind, but protection for a government and municipal building vary widely in terms of threat profile and daily operational use. A rural utility office, where local residents come to pay bills, faces very different security challenges from that of a U.S. embassy abroad.

Gladiator Solutions bulletproof solutions are designed to balance safety, cost and daily operations

We design and install bulletproof solutions that balance safety, cost and daily operations. Our bullet-resistant doors and windows provide the highest level of protection while still feeling welcoming to employees and visitors. We can retrofit a bulletproof barrier into your existing building and we take great care to provide accurate estimates and detailed product information so you can choose the right bulletproof components for your project.

Bullet-resistant fiberglass panels are the safest, most affordable, and efficient ballistic protection solution available for both new construction and remodeling projects. These panels deliver superior protection against bullets and blast fragments. Panels capture the ballistic projectiles in a process called ply- delamination without ricochet or spalling.
