Cascade Architectural's Certified Blast & Projectile Protection Systems are designed and constructed to prevent loss of life and serious injury while still maintaining all of the aesthetic values expected of our systems. Our fully tested, patented, and approved blast and projectile protection systems include guardian-grade Fabricoil wire mesh strategically positioned with engineered attachment hardware to catch and contain debris or projectiles in the event of an explosion or a destructive high wind events.
The core of these GSA-approved and DHS-certified systems is guardian-grade Fabricoil™ wire mesh that uniquely flexes in a predictive and repeatable way to absorb the force of the blast or projectile, rather than transmitting this force into the building where it can harm people and property. It spreads forces to adjacent areas to harmlessly divert energy and debris away from personnel and structural building components.
Cascade Architectural's Certified Blast & Projectile Protection Systems are perfect for new construction of retrofits. The systems meet most blast mitigation requirements and can be seamlessly integrated into existing buildings, enhancing aesthetics and providing invaluable protection of occupants.
With a range customizable design options, architects and designers easily meet the aesthetic requirements of their projects. The system allows natural light to penetrate a space and gives occupants an unobstructed view to the outside, all while maintaining the ability to encapsulate and contain high-speed debris.
Specifiers are able to combine functional attributes that fall outside of blast/projectile containment when working with Cascade. Due to Fabricoil wire fabric's assortment of functions, our protection systems deliver solar control, ventilation, aesthetics and more – one system capable of providing several benefits to the end-user. Certified Blast & Projectile Protection Systems enhance interiors, eliminating fortress-like environments. With Cascade Coil, the well-being of building occupants is preserved by providing a comprehensive safety measure.
Beginning with the design phase, Cascade Architectural experts work in close collaboration with you to ensure your system achieves the desired functions and aesthetics. Throughout the process, we provide assistance in the development of construction methodologies for a safe and reliable installation.
For disaster-prone areas of the world, our GSA-Approved and DHS-Certified systems provide protection from high-wind projectile impacts that shatter windows. Certified Blast and Projectile Protection Systems are also utilized to contain fast-flying glass shards resulting from hurricanes, earthquakes and other catastrophic events.
Certified Blast & Projectile Protection Systems with guardian-grade Fabricoil wire mesh effectively absorb high-powered energy impacts by collapsing around the projectile, greatly reducing the chance of injury or damage to people and property.
Round weave guardian-grade Fabricoil offers superior resistance to penetration by projectiles. To penetrate, the item must first flatten the wire mesh in all directions at the point of impact. In doing this, the projectile loses energy.
The custom manufacturing of Certified Blast & Projectile Protection Systems facilitates design advantages, is a reliable solution to high-threat situations, and offers installation cost savings. The relative low weight of the attached Fabricoil coiled wire fabric minimizes structural support requirements.
The fireproof Fabricoil wire mesh will not absorb oil, grease, and other liquids. The material is very durable and if damaged, sections can be easily removed and replacement sections may be spliced in at the installation site.
The aesthetic appeal and variety of finish options adds a pleasant architectural element to a work environment. The flow-through design of Fabricoil wire mesh allows light into the work area and does not interfere with ventilation.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) SAFETY Act 2017 both designation and certification.
