PART

BBP752-Level 3-WL and BBP752-Level 2-WL

Due to the large size of the window shade, no hem bar retention system is necessary; however, the impact of a bullet may cause the bottom of the shade to raise up a few inches.  If this is a concern, consider the option that has the hem bar retained with locks.

Standard construction allows for sizes starting at:

  • 36 in. wide, up to a width of 96 in.
  • Window height of up to 96 in.

Window sizes outside of these dimensions can be accomodated with certain considerations.

How it works

Bullet-resistant protection that deploys and retracts similar to conventional window shades

  • Shades deploy from above the window frame either by manual hand crank or a motorized system.
  • The motor can be activated with a standard wall switch, wireless remote control, or by connecting to an existing alarm system.
  • The all-fabric shielding benefits from the patented BBP "energy dissipation solution" that allows the shield to act as though it is catching the bullet rather than simply resisting its impact only with brute strength.  
    This significantly reduces the stress on the entire system, including the mountings to the walls and framing.
  • For added stability on smaller windows/doors, outdoor use, and recommended applications, two types of retention devices can secure the bottom of the fabric:
  • Cable Guide: As the shield lowers into positions, the hem bar rides along cables attached to the side of the window, providing added resistance to movement as bullets impact.
  • Locking Hem Bar: When lowered into position, the hem bar locks into mounts that sit below the window, holding the bottom of the shade securely into place as the bullets impact.

How it works

Bullet-resistant protection that deploys and retracts similar to conventional shade over a window

  • Door shields deploy from above the door frame either by manual hand crank or a motorized system.
  • The motor can be activated with a standard wall switch, wireless remote control, or by connecting to an existing alarm system.
  • The all-fabric shielding benefits from the patented BBP "energy dissipation solution" that allows the shield to act as though it is catching the bullet rather than simply resisting its impact only with brute strength.  
    This significantly reduces the stress on the entire system, including the mountings to the walls and framing.
  • For added stability on smaller doors, outdoor use, and recommended applications, cable guided retention can secure the bottom of the fabric in place. As the shield lowers into positions, the hem bar rides along cables attached to the side of the door, providing added resistance to movement as bullets impact.
