Abstract
Protective glazing systems, apparatus, and associated methods for the protection of structural openings against impacts from projectiles from any cause, including nature or man. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a substantially unbreakable and clear or opaque panel, which may be at least substantially the same size (length and width) as the visible glass being protected, and may be anchored to the original glazing via standoff and/or anchor elements. Another embodiment may comprise a substantially unbreakable, ballistic-tolerant panel cut slightly larger than the visible original glazing being protected, said panel being attached to the structural opening via standoff and/or anchor means.
