Security & Safety Glass Solutions in Northern Colorado

Moffat Glass specifies and installs commercial security and safety glass for operators, general contractors, architects, and property managers across Northern Colorado, covering tempered safety glass, laminated security glass, forced-entry-resistant layups, bullet-resistant assemblies, and impact-rated storefront glass on low-rise commercial projects up to 4 stories. Since 1921, our differentiation has been diagnostic site walks, honest spec consultation, and install quality, not a speed claim on factory-ordered specialty layups. We walk the opening, recommend the right tier for the threat model, order to spec, and install to standard across Larimer and Weld County.

Why Security and Safety Glass Matters

The right security and safety glass tier solves four problems on a commercial property at once. Code-required openings (commercial entries, sidelights, low partitions, glass doors in human-impact zones) must meet ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II safety-glazing standards, and tempered or laminated configurations are how that requirement is satisfied. Cash-handling counters, jewelry display lines, dispensary security partitions, and financial-services reception protect inventory and revenue from smash-and-grab and forced-entry exposure. Staff and customer protection on retail, medical, and dispensary floors depends on matching the tier to the realistic threat model, not over-spec'ing for cost or under-spec'ing for risk. Insurance and liability posture leans on proper safety glazing in code-required openings plus appropriate security tiers in threat-exposed areas. Tier fit is the difference between a clean spec and a regret, which is why our process leads with the site walk and spec consultation. For interior heavy glass alongside this scope, see our commercial heavy glass walls service.

Security and Safety Glass We Install

Tempered safety glass. The baseline layup: 3/8" or 1/2" tempered meeting ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II for entries, sidelights, low partitions, and doors in human-impact zones.

Laminated security glass. A PVB or SGP interlayer between two plies for smash-and-grab resistance on jewelry display, cash-handling counters, dispensary partitions, and storefronts.

Forced-entry-resistant glass. The next step up: laminated layups tested to ASTM F1233.

Bullet-resistant glass. Rated under UL 752, Levels 1 through 8, in multi-ply glass-clad polycarbonate, acrylic, or glass-clad acrylic for banks, credit unions, jewelers, and dispensaries. The honest framing matters: bullet-resistant, not bulletproof. UL 752 ratings describe the threat level the layup is rated to resist.

Blast-mitigation glass. Laminated layups engineered to GSA TS-01 or ASTM F1642 for institutional buildings.

Impact-rated storefront glass. Laminated for Front Range hail and vandalism resilience; see our storefront glass repair and installation service. Every tier above is scoped to low-rise commercial up to 4 stories, often paired with commercial window and door installation.

Specs, Standards, and Ratings

Tempered safety glass spec is 3/8" and 1/2" standard for commercial accessible and high-traffic openings, meeting ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II. Laminated security glass uses PVB or SGP interlayers between two plies, with thickness varying by application and threat tier; forced-entry-rated layups are tested to ASTM F1233. Bullet-resistant assemblies are rated under UL 752 at Levels 1 through 8 (handgun rounds through high-powered rifle rounds) in glass-clad polycarbonate, acrylic, or glass-clad acrylic. Blast-mitigation layups are tested to GSA TS-01 or ASTM F1642. Commercial hardware is matched to the tier: panic hardware where code-required, closers, pivots, latching and locking sets calibrated to spec. Glass-type choices (clear, low-iron, tinted, and privacy films on laminated tiers) are confirmed at the on-site assessment.

Where Security Glass Goes Up to 4 Stories

Moffat installs commercial security and safety glass for low-rise projects up to 4 stories across Northern Colorado. Retail jewelry stores spec display cases, counter glazing, and laminated storefronts. Banks, credit unions, and financial services run teller counters and reception glazing at the UL 752 tier. Cannabis dispensaries (Colorado-specific) use security partitions, cash-handling counters, and laminated retail-floor layups across forced-entry and ballistic tiers. Gas stations and c-stores spec cashier reception glazing at the bullet-resistant tier plus impact-rated storefront for hail and vandalism. Pharmacies, medical reception, and professional services protect prescription counters, entry vestibules, and interior partitions. Schools and institutional buildings cover safety-glazing compliance plus blast-mitigation where called for. TI work runs the Greeley and Evans corridor, Loveland mixed-use, Fort Collins retail and medical, and the Windsor and Johnstown commercial corridor.

Security and Safety Glass FAQs

What is the difference between tempered safety glass and laminated security glass?+

Tempered safety glass is single-ply impact-resistant glass meeting code in human-impact zones (ANSI Z97.1, CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II). Laminated security glass uses a PVB or SGP interlayer between two plies for forced-entry and smash-and-grab resistance, tested to ASTM F1233. Tier fit is confirmed at the site walk.

Is bullet-resistant glass actually bulletproof?+

No. Bullet-resistant is the industry-accurate term; no glass product is truly bulletproof. UL 752 ratings span Levels 1 through 8, with each level corresponding to a tested threat (handgun rounds at the low end through high-powered rifle rounds at the high end). Construction options include multi-ply glass-clad polycarbonate, acrylic, and glass-clad acrylic. The rating describes the threat level the layup is tested to defeat; tier consultation at the site walk locks the level.

What buildings does Moffat install security glass in?+

Moffat installs commercial security glass in low-rise buildings up to 4 stories across Northern Colorado. Coverage includes retail, financial services, dispensaries, c-stores, medical, professional services, and schools. We do not bid high-rise, multi-story curtain wall above 4 stories, or large-scale restoration. Share your floor count at quote request.

What does ANSI Z97.1, CPSC 16 CFR 1201, ASTM F1233, and UL 752 mean for commercial security glass?+

These are the standards commercial security glass is tested against. ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II cover tempered safety in human-impact zones. ASTM F1233 rates forced-entry resistance. UL 752 rates bullet-resistance at Levels 1 through 8. Fit is confirmed at the spec consultation.

How long does commercial security and safety glass take to fabricate and install?+

Specialty layups are factory-ordered and typically run 2 to 4 weeks from the manufacturer. Bullet-resistant, blast-mitigation, and forced-entry-resistant assemblies are ordered upstream; lead time runs the same for any commercial installer. Moffat install typically wraps within 1 to 2 days post-delivery. Submit plans for a timeline.

How much does commercial security and safety glass cost in Northern Colorado?+

Project costs vary widely by tier, application, opening size, and hardware spec. A tempered safety-glazing replacement, a laminated forced-entry layup, and a UL 752 Level 3 bullet-resistant teller line run very different ranges. Moffat prices each project after the site walk. Submit specs for an estimate.

I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass

"We needed our patio screen door replaced. Moffat answered the phone (something that 3 other businesses did not do), scheduled someone to come measure the same day, manufactured our non-standard sized door and installed it within a week. We have yet to hear from the other businesses we contacted who told us they would 'get right back' to us. The quality of customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly, professional, and expressed appreciation for our business. I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass. They have been in Greeley for a long time and I can see why they have lasted."
