About…With more than three decades manufacturing bulletproof security systems, Total Security Solutions is the industry leader for custom bullet resistant barriers that meet your bulletproof security needs on-time, on-budget, and expertly finished. | September 24th, 2009 Total Security Solutions specializes in providing secure, bullet-resistant entryways for banks, credit unions, government facilities, hospitals, etc. We offer three different types of bullet resistant aluminum frames that can be purchased in custom lengths or if you prefer, you can purchase 8’ stock lengths and do your own cutting and fabrication. The TSS-BL1.75 Ballistic Frame is designed for window wall framing systems and can be fit with glazing from ¾” polycarbonate to 1-3/8” acrylic. It provides up to Level III protection and allows for the integration of an aluminum door. This type of bullet-resistant frame can be secured to the ceiling or the floor and is weather-resistant. It is available in clear anodized, dark bronze anodized or custom paint finishes. The TSS-BL2.5 Ballistic Frame also provides up to Level III protection, but it must be screwed into the wall for support so it works best for fixed openings, such as a window in a block wall. The TSS-BL2.5 is weather-resistant and accommodates the same size glazing as the TSS-BL1.75. It is also available in clear anodized, dark bronze anodized or custom paint finishes. The third type of aluminum framing available is the Non-Secure Framing. While this particular type of aluminum framing can be used on exterior applications, it is most frequently used inside where there is not a high security threat, but bullet-resistant materials are desired. It can accommodate ¾” polycarbonate to 1-3/8” acrylic and is available in clear anodized and dark bronze anodized finishes. September 18th, 2009 Wondering what this picture is of?

September 12th, 2009 GKN Aerospace, a UK-based company, was awarded a $425,000 contract by the U.S. Department of Defense to develop “bullet resistant windows that dim instantly with a touch of a button, providing ‘on-demand’ light control, privacy, and protection from heat, glare, and ultraviolet rays.” The initial design will be used in government VIP armored personnel vehicles, but the company hopes to ultimately make their “SmartShade Windows” available to the civilian VIP market.
