Glass guard at a French window; application context, not verification of engineering or load capacity.

Glass guardrail or balustrade

A permanent guard, railing, balustrade, gate, or infill system in which glass or another glazing material is a major structural or protective component.

Illustrative impact-test concept, not a recorded test result or a universal performance guarantee.

Windborne-debris-impact-resistant glazing

A complete exterior fenestration or impact-protection assembly qualified for specified missile impact and cyclic pressure conditions associated with hurricanes or similar windstorms.

Illustrative assembly; security performance depends on the specified threat and tested construction.

Security glazing

A glazing material or complete system designed and tested for resistance to one or more defined threats such as forced entry, ballistic impact, containment, blast, or physical attack.

Glass-door application context. Appearance alone does not prove safety-glazing compliance.

Safety glazing application

A location or product use where applicable law or code requires glazing that meets specified human-impact safety performance and identification requirements.

Illustrative assembly; any fire rating depends on the listed product and installation.

Fire-rated glazing

A listed and labeled glazing product or assembly evaluated for a defined fire-protection or fire-resistance function, duration, installation, and set of limitations.

Spandrel coating — illustrated detail

Spandrel coating

An opaque or obscuring coating or opacifier applied to glass used in spandrel or other nonvision applications.

Safety and security window film — illustrated detail

Safety and security window film

A post-applied film and, where specified, attachment system intended to improve fragment retention or tested resistance of an existing glazing assembly for defined hazards.

Decorative film — illustrated detail

Decorative film

An applied film used primarily to change glass appearance, translucency, pattern, privacy, color, or graphics.

Ceramic frit — illustrated detail

Ceramic frit

A ceramic enamel composition applied to glass in a pattern or continuous area and fused or otherwise processed during manufacture to create a durable decorative or opaque coating.

Applied film being removed from glass; this photo does not identify its safety or security performance.

Applied window film
