 Bulletproof glazing will probably always be the most lucrative part of the security glazing market. 

On some occasions equally high profits may be made by providing the client with a special color or effect,

obviously this will be maximized if the product is also bulletproof. 

 

 Surlyt bulletproof glazing products have already been tested in various countries including Northern Ireland, South Africa and parts of the old USSR.
