In today's world, safety and security are paramount, especially in environments where the threat of violence is a real concern. Bullet resistant windows are essential in protecting lives and assets in various settings, including banks, correctional institutions, government buildings, and increasingly, schools. Made from bullet resistant glass block, these specialized windows are designed to withstand the impact of bullets, providing a critical barrier against armed attacks.
Bullet resistant glass block windows offer more than just protection—they maintain visibility, allowing for clear observation while ensuring safety. Applications for bullet resistant windows range from commercial and institutional buildings to public spaces, where both security and aesthetics are important. These windows are ideal for environments where high security is required without compromising the building's design and functionality.
GBA Architectural Products and Services offers two advanced lines of bullet resistant glass blocks, each designed to meet stringent safety standards while providing the durability and transparency needed in high-risk environments.
The Seves BSH20 series, part of the Seves Technology Series, is engineered for environments where safety and security are the primary concerns. These glass blocks are certified as bulletproof, providing reliable protection against high-powered pistols and rifles as per international ballistic standards. The BSH20 series is commonly used in sensitive areas such as cash dispensers in banks, prisons, and any location requiring strength and security.

"We could not be happier with your product and services. We relied on you quite a bit to set the coordination of several items – ceiling heights, curb construction, detailing/engineering – and can’t imagine having another vendor without your expertise and patience. Jeff was especially great throughout the entire experience.
100% will recommend you all here for any other projects in our office.
" — Neal Harrod, Rockwell Group

They communicated well with my field team to ensure we & the Owner were satisfied with the end product. Job well done." - Russell Stafford, RNGD A Palmisano Company
"We were lucky to have GBA on our project at Lutheran East High School. From the front office to the field supervision and crew were very knowledgeable with our project. Took extra care not to damage the building during demolition. The quality of materials and their labor force was top-notch." — Peter Powell, Carey Construction Group
"We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the glass block at Lutheran East High School and have received many compliments on the design. The glass block windows give the building a nice “pop” of color on the exterior each side of the gym and helped to maintain the identity of the school." - Rick Jozity, Meraki Architects, L.L.C
"As the Senior Project Manager for the general contracting company responsible for completing all aspects of the historical restoration, structural rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse modifications to the derelict Triboro tuberculosis hospital, one of the most difficult challenges was finding capable and qualified subcontractors for the key restoration trades that are both committed to quality construction and respectful of the historical restoration process. I am lucky enough to have worked with GBA on previous successful projects and was glad to bring them into this project. GBA provided the essential expertise and quality craftsmanship that this project needed and was a reliable partner helping us convert the Triboro Tuberculosis Hospital into the T Building Residence." – Senior Project Manager, Bill Harwood for the GC, Mega Contracting
"On behalf of me, my project manager and CGC; I would like to reach out to applaud the quality and workmanship of the crew sent out to do the glass block wall outside of the theater here in Hudson. Dan and Nate went above and beyond to keep their work area organized and clean, even protected our finish trim and VWC in the mixing area with plastic. If only more companies active on site would follow in your companies steps these buildings would be cut and dry and run very efficiently. Thank you! - Jake M. Behler, Cameron General Contractors
