All about glass > Vandalism resistant glass

Our safety glass is tested for its ability to withstand manual attack according to European standard  EN 356 .
Vandalism resistant Plastofloat is rated from 1 (P1A) to 5 (P5A) depending on its performance during testing :

  • From 1 = P1A to 4 = P4A, the samples tested
    undergo 3 successive impacts from a steel ball
    weighing 4.1 kg dropped in a triangular pattern,
    without being penetrated.
    The height  from which the ball is dropped
    determines the rating.
     
  • For level 5 = P5A, the samples must withstand
    9 impacts: 3 successive impacts 3 times in a row.
