We are experts at integrating the right materials and products into aesthetically-appealing architectural and structural elements. Maximizing security in today’s “open floor plan” bank designs is particularly challenging. It increases the need for more strategic use of bullet-proof materials in a wide variety of structures, partitions and glass design elements. Whether it’s designing bullet-resistant partitions for workstations, drive-through bank teller windows or bank counters, Gaffco has the unique experience and expertise to help safeguard staff and customers.

To be prepared for any eventuality, financial institutions must also consider the possibility of air-borne toxins. Whether it’s tear gas, toxins from a chemical attack or worse, Gaffco’s expertise in specifying and installing bio-defense ventilation systems can help to ensure a safe and healthy breathing environment even in the most extreme conditions. Having safe fresh air can be the first and foremost line of defense when a natural or man-made disaster situation arises.
