Glazing

Glazing usually refers to glass, but also can include transparent polycarbonates, acrylics, and ceramics. Glazing offers a physical barrier while still allowing light to pass through. From a physical security perspective, glazing presents several concerns:

• Glazing can expose the interior to viewing from outside.
  
  
• Glazing typically offers less physical resistance to forcible attack than other construction materials.
  
  
• Broken glass creates a safety concern as well as a security concern.
