Blast Resistant Glass Block Windows

Seves LightWise® blast resistant windows are meticulously engineered and tested to satisfy or surpass rigorous requirements set by government, military, and international building standards. These systems offer the aesthetic appeal of glass alongside maximum protection. A major cause of occupant injury during an explosion is glass fragments flying through the air. In stark contrast to flat glass, which typically cracks and releases fragments, tests on our Seves LightWise® Blast Resistant Glass Block windows showed no cracking or glass loss.
