Security glass is specifically designed to provide additional safety for personnel and protect critical areas in buildings, safe houses, detention centres, prisons and marine vessels.

Storm
Cyclone Rated Glass

StormShield uses specially formulated ultra-high grade laminate in the manufacturing process, engineered so the glass can expand and contract up to five times its normal rate before breaking providing protection from wind born debris. The proprietary process allows us to manufacture glass that has better performance ratings from lighter, thinner compositions versus our competitors.

"Working with Derek Spoel was an excellent experience from bid to buildout and every step in between. This was our first experience with Glasshape, and although we were hesitant to work with a glass supplier in New Zealand, the pricing was competitive, and their work seemed to be high quality, so we took a leap of faith and are so glad we did."
