Suitable for security glass applications.
ESG Secure™ LPS1270 Intruder Resistant glass. This security glass offers resistance against aggressive and sustained attempts to enter a property by force.
It is important to note that, by testing to the latest standard, ESG can provide a glass range which, when used in any LPS 1175 compliant product, even if the door or frame manufacturer has tested their product with a different glass supplier, our glass can be used without the need to test the whole system again.
The LPS1270 test was created over a decade ago by the Loss Prevention Certification Board and is endorsed by both the police and insurers. Both parties were consulted during the development process, and ESG was one of the early pioneers of this product. The rating of LPS1270 approved glass is indicated by three numbers. These are indicated as, for example, 1/4/3. Each of these numbers represents the individual product’s minimum resistance to the creation of different sized holes. The test for the first number involves making a hole in the glass, large enough to put a piece of wire or other such tool through the glass, in order to open a handle or lock. The first number therefore indicates how long it took to create this small hole, and with which tool.
The second number indicates the time taken and tool used to create a slightly larger hole, sufficient to get an arm through the panel to open the lock or turn the handle. Finally, the third number represents how long it took and what tools were required to create a hole big enough to fit a human torso through – allowing the intruder to step inside.
