Bullet-Resistant Workstation: Anti-Ballistic Protection That Looks Like Office Furniture
This anti-ballistic workstation is built for places where the public hasn't been screened—federal and state offices, courthouses, hospitals, universities, and other public-facing settings where security can't rely on what happens before someone arrives. It's designed to give the person behind it real protection without making the space feel like an unapproachable fortress.
Covert Security: Increase Safety Without Creating Alarm
There are many security-oriented products on the market. Some are more alarming for customers and everyday citizens than others. This one just looks like office furniture.
With clear glass, the person behind the workstation stays visible and approachable—and safe.
This workstation is the design of choice for many federal facilities, courts, airports, casinos, and other private sectors.

Security Specs
This workstation provides three-sided ballistic coverage for the operator.
The glass is clear NIJ Level IIIA-rated material, enabling visibility and communication while stopping handgun rounds including high-velocity 9mm and .44 Magnum.
The hardwood body is reinforced with internal ballistic steel, rated to stop rifle rounds including those from AR-15, AK-47, and .308 platforms.
The transition between the two (typically the weakest point in podium-style ballistic furniture) is engineered as a seamless layer with NO exposed gaps.
Encapsulation technology traps projectiles instead of letting them pass through.
Note: Ballistic furniture is one layer of a broader security plan, not a complete safety solution. It works best alongside trained staff, access control, and emergency response protocols.
