INTERIOR TRANSACTION WINDOWS

The transaction window is the point in a security system where we balance our need to lockdown security and the realities of being open for business.

INTERIOR TRANSACTION WINDOW ANATOMY

An interior transaction window consists of a bullet resistant window, a voice-transmission system, and a deal tray.  The bullet resistant window can be crafted from a variety of thicknesses of monolithic acrylic, laminated polycarbonate, or glass-clad polycarbonate, depending on the bullet-stopping power needed.  These are framed and held in place by a bullet resistant steel or ballistic aluminum frame.  Since an inch or more of plastic muffles voices, a “speak hole” is cut in the window, and backed with a second piece of ballistic glass.  A welded stainless steel deal tray makes it possible for workers and clients to safely exchange cash, documents, and paperwork.

INTERIOR TRANSACTION WINDOW DESIGN OPTIONS

Interior transaction windows range from simple drop-in prefabricated units (which ship as a single piece and can be installed by any competent carpenter), to custom windows designed for a specific setting or business. The wide variety of available bullet-resistant materials means that design can take the front seat, both in terms of functionality and style.  New or existing walls and counters can be made secure with the addition of concealed bullet resistant fiberglass panels. Bullet resistant framing systems are available in several finishes to complement any decor. If the business calls for it, these interior transaction windows can even be custom-installed with sliding bullet resistant glass: Open it up for increased convenience during the midday rush, and then lock it back down for added after-hours security.
