Blast-Resistant Doors
Our blast-resistant doors are engineered to withstand high-impact explosions, protecting personnel and infrastructure in high-risk environments. Tested to EXV 10 and ISO 16933:2007 standards, they feature reinforced steel frames and multi-layered composite panels. Ideal for government facilities, petrochemical plants, and transport hubs, these doors combine durability with precise engineering to mitigate blast effects while maintaining structural integrity.
Bullet-Resistant Glass
Certified to FB2-FB7 standards under EN 1522/1523, our bullet-resistant glass offers transparent protection against firearms. Utilising laminated polycarbonate and tempered glass layers, it provides security without compromising visibility. Widely used in banks, embassies, and retail spaces, this solution balances safety with aesthetic appeal, ensuring clear sightlines and natural light transmission in secure environments.
Fire-Rated Doors
LPS 1175-certified fire-rated doors provide up to 90 minutes of protection against flames and smoke. Constructed with intumescent seals and thermally insulated cores, they meet EI 60 and E90 classifications. Designed for commercial buildings, residential complexes, and public institutions, these doors ensure compliance with fire safety regulations while maintaining security and acoustic performance.
Curtain Walling Systems
Our HVM-certified curtain walling systems combine blast resistance, ballistic protection, and fire safety in a single design. The world's first 4m x 4m glass system survived a 7.2-tonne truck impact at 64 km/h. Tailored for skyscrapers, data centres, and critical infrastructure, these systems offer hurricane-level wind resistance and thermal efficiency, integrating security seamlessly into modern architecture.
Hostile Vehicle Mitigation
Premier's HVM solutions include crash-tested bollards, barriers, and barriers designed to ISO 22343-1:2023 standards. The XPASS 1200 bollard withstands V/7200[N2A]/64/90 impacts, protecting against vehicle-borne threats. Deployed at government buildings and high-security sites, these systems provide discreet yet robust protection, blending functionality with urban design requirements.
