Design with Bullet-Resistant Materials to Achieve Safety + Aesthetics™

Bulletproof doesn’t have to mean unsightly. We know that the most effective security includes psychological safety. That’s why we go above and beyond to work with architects and create ballistic barrier products that not only stop bullets but look beautiful, too. Many of our clients say their new ballistic barriers feel so natural in the space, it’s like they’re not even there at all. We’re proud to collaborate with architects to achieve critical safety and unparalleled aesthetics.

Architects' Frequently Asked Questions About Bullet-Resistant Solutions

The TSS team has worked with architects across the country, helping them save time, money, and headaches on countless new-build and retrofit projects. These are some of their most frequently asked questions.

Can you meet my fast-track production schedule?

Yes! We can move as fast as you can—even on custom work, because custom work is all we do.

Can you help me meet my client’s service and performance goals?

Yes. In these situations, we like to make a site visit in order to understand how the space is used on a daily basis. Then, we’ll walk through the entire project with you to make sure we keep goals in focus.

What do I need to know about working with bulletproof building materials?

Bulletproof materials are twice as heavy as conventional construction materials; this weight must be taken into consideration as you work on designs. We will partner with you to navigate the installation and structural integrity issues that might arise, especially on a large installation.

Can you help me educate clients on bullet-resistant protection?

Of course! Unlike other bulletproof companies, TSS has vast experience serving many industries such as education, community centers, hospitals, and commercial and industrial settings. We can meet your clients where they are, and help them understand what it will take to get the results they need.
