The core strength of advanced security glass systems lies in their ability to integrate multiple threat-resistance capabilities within a single façade solution. Hwarrior's approach encompasses four critical security dimensions:
Burglar-Resistant and Forced-Entry-Resistant Systems
Complying with EN356 (glass P2A-P8B) and EN1627-1630 (system RC1-RC6), professional-grade burglar-resistant windows and doors combine high-strength glass, advanced locking mechanisms, and reinforced frame structures to prevent unauthorized access. The RC1-RC6 rating system provides graduated protection levels, with higher ratings designed to withstand aggressive entry attempts using sophisticated tools. These systems undergo rigorous testing to ensure they provide long-lasting protection for areas where security is paramount.
Bullet-Resistant Protection for High-Risk Environments
In accordance with EN1063 (BR1-7 NS), EN1522-1523 (FB1-7 NS), UL752 (Level 1-7), and NIJ 0108.01 (Type I-III), bullet-resistant windows and doors are engineered for maximum protection against ballistic threats. Built using multi-layered glass technology and reinforced frame structures, these systems prevent penetration while maintaining visibility and natural light transmission. The ability to combine bulletproof and burglarproof performances together provides comprehensive security for government buildings, financial institutions, and private residences requiring the highest protection standards.
Fire-Resistant Systems for Life Safety
Complying with EN 1634-1, EN1364-3, EN357, EN12600, and SS332, with COC certifications granted by TUV Singapore, fire-resistant façade, window, and door systems significantly delay the spread of flames, heat, and toxic smoke. The fire resisting performance of integrity and insulation can reach 1 hour and 2 hours, providing precious evacuation time and minimizing property loss. Through independent R&D teams, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities focusing on fire-resistant materials and systems research, customized certified fire-resistance solutions are tailored to specific project safety and architectural needs for high-rise commercial towers, public infrastructure, and sensitive industrial zones.
Blast Resistance for Critical Infrastructure
In accordance with EN13123-2, GSA TS01-2003, and ISO 16933-2007, blast resistance systems withstand high-pressure waves and debris impacts caused by explosions, preventing glass shattering and structural failures that could endanger lives and properties. Performance levels reach EXR3 (12 kg at 5.5 m distance), GSA 2 ("Very High" protection level), and ISO B ("No Hazard" hazard rating). These systems are customized based on individual requirements and professional engineering calculations, making them essential for embassies, oil and gas installations, and other critical infrastructure requiring maximum protection.
The credibility of security glass systems fundamentally depends on rigorous testing and international certification. Hwarrior maintains an extensive portfolio of industry certifications including CE Certification (European Conformity), TUV Test Report and Certification, AS4284 (Australian Standard for Curtain Wall Testing), AS2047 (Australian Standard for Windows and External Glazed Doors), UL Certification (Underwriters Laboratories), SS332 (Singapore Standard), EN (European Standard), SAS (Saudi Arabian Standards), and UAE National Standards (UNS).
This comprehensive certification coverage ensures that security glass systems meet the specific regulatory requirements of diverse global markets. The technical capabilities extend beyond basic compliance, incorporating:
Technical metrics demonstrate the performance depth: sound insulation reaching ≥45 dB, fire resistance from 60 to 120 minutes (both integrity and insulation), and security ratings from RC1 to RC6 (burglarproof) and UL 752 Levels 1-8 (bulletproof).
Real-world implementation provides the ultimate validation of security glass system capabilities. Hwarrior's project portfolio demonstrates successful deployment across diverse geographical and functional contexts:
The New Enga Provincial Hospital in Papua New Guinea required a large-scale façade meeting strict Australian safety and performance standards for a major public healthcare facility in a tropical environment. The solution involved 20,500m² unitized glass curtain wall and window systems that successfully met AS4284 and AS2047 standards, ensuring structural integrity and weather resistance while providing a modern aesthetic for the provincial landmark.
Commercial projects including Normanton Park, One Marina Gardens, Chuan Park, and Landmark Tower implemented integrated solutions combining fire-rated systems, façade systems, and aluminum screen systems, demonstrating the versatility of multi-functional security glass applications in mixed-use developments.
The China Industrial Bank headquarters in Guangzhou, a 21-floor regional banking facility, required high-performance façade installation. The completed aluminum composite and glass curtain wall project enhanced the bank's professional image while meeting urban energy efficiency requirements—critical for financial institutions where security, aesthetics, and sustainability converge.
