The ACE Polymatrix ballistic IGU (insulated glass unit) is the industry’s first ballistic-ready IGU designed to fit into standard, off-the-shelf commercial 1 inch window framing systems.
Designed for seamless architectural, engineering and construction integration in new building and window replacement projects, the Polymatrix ballistic IGU meets the higher security risk requirements of government, corporate and public building operators. By fitting into standard commercial storefront framing units, no additional engineering, design, fitting or framing is required.
The ACE Polymatrix ballistic IGU:
- Is a fully integrated sealed unit, shipped ready to install
- Provides UL Level 2 ballistic protection
- Is designed to fit into standard, commercial, off-the-shelf storefront window frame systems
- Can be readily integrated into building plans by architects and builders without the need for specialized framing or wall assemblies
- Can be installed by general contractors using the same installation procedures as regular IGUs
Finished with a durable acrylic scratch resistant coating, the ACE Polymatrix ballistic IGU is intended for government, corporate and public facilities and will withstand normal maintenance and cleaning programs. Backed by a five manufacturers’ warranty against manufacturer’s defects including delaminating and seal failure.
