Available in bullet-resistant fiberglass and ballistic steel.
Fiberglass Structural Armor is readily fabricated using commonly available tools. Carbide or Ceramic grit edge saw blades are recommended. Drilling, spot facing, and counterboring are easily done with carbide tooling.
The composition of panels is similar to material used in the hull of fiberglass boats. Most good paints and adhesives bond readily to it. Sheet-rock and wood veneers can be bonded directly to its front face (the side bullet enters).
