Pure Vista’s Bullet & Bomb Resistant Glass Barriers for Crowd Protection
Pure Vista Ltd is a leading manufacturer specialised solely in Frameless Glass balustrade and glass railing systems. Our glass balustrade products are designed and renowned for their elegant appearance completing your glass balcony design and complementing your view.

In the aftermath of the Manchester arena attack, the directors here were passionate about creating the safest balustrade design available. As organisations and individuals are now looking to make changes to their environments, balustrade should be considered as a major safety element in upcoming refurbishments, developments and builds.

Now that Protect Duty is being discussed and new laws created, organisations are being called up to increase their safety measures. This ranges from simply providing specialist staff training to installing physical barriers.

Pure Vista is an international organisation and we can supply our products globally with quick delivery and technical support. The technical team regularly help with the planning and design processes, ensuring all regulations are being adhered to.

As balustrade manufactures, operating for more than 14 years, they have developed the MEGAgrip channel which can be fortified to become blast or bullet resistant.
BLASTguard was the first completely frameless, bomb-resistant glass balustrade on the anti-terror market place, with glass as high as 1800mm. Where a bomb blast is a perceived threat, 3kN balustrade can be used. Using screw-clamp technology, the glass can be aligned for a perfect finish.

The fortified MEGAgrip is ideal for public locations where crowding is likely. Currently beautifully installed as a safety barrier in football stadiums, London train stations, underground stations, airports, hospitals and large music venues across the UK and around the world.

BULLETguard is typically installed in public areas, as a protective screen to ensure the safety of a particular delegate, speaker, politician or celebrity who may be at risk. Another fortified variation of the MEGAgrip channel, this variation wields a different result, safety from bullets instead of a blast. When used with the right glass type this system will completely stop a 5.56mm NATO Bullet when fired from 10 metres.

With respect to venues that may be at risk of bomb blast attacks, such as music venues, transport hubs and stadiums, it is imperative to consider the implication of the venues’ infrastructure during a blast.

Therefore, while it isn’t always possible to predict and protect against the damage caused by a bomb, it is possible to mitigate the risk of shrapnel created when a blast effects the fixtures and fittings within the vicinity. Pure Vista’s bomb-resistant balustrade, BLASTguard, has performed exceptionally well during testing, far exceeding the requirement for holding the glass panels in place during a bomb blast by not allowing the glass to move (or even break!) at all.

The installation of Pure Vista BLASTguard or BULLETguard will significantly increase protection, while subtly blending into the design of the building. Adding MEGAgrip to your designs and plans adds extra security to any building. If you use NBS Source you can drop our product right into your plans and see detailed profiles on our products. The details of these products are briefly explained on our website.

Technical Information
Accredited to 3.0kN MEGAgrip is approved by multiple organizations to verify that it meets national and international building regulations for use as edge protection. After installation, if required, glass panels can be removed and replaced.

If MEGAgrip is initially installed, it can later be fortified to become BLASTguard or BULLETguard. The BLASTguard balustrade channel itself is lightweight and strong, the hollow core provides incredible strengths to weight ration. For added protections, the channel is anodised to 25 microns, meets BSI standards and is compliant to ASIAD Class 1 & 2 compliant to ISO 16933:2007.

BULLETguard has up to 1.5kN loading to BSI standards and is rated to FB5(NS) to EN 1522 and EN 1523. The same channel is used for BLASTguard, BULLETguard and MEGAgrip, this channel can be base fixed (or side fixed if it is not fortified) and can be installed with glass up to 1800mm high.
