In a world where physical threats are becoming increasingly complex, MetalQuartz bullet-resistant partitions offer an unparalleled protection solution. The innovative Bunkerkit® system combines advanced ballistic protection with modular flexibility, making it possible to create customized secure spaces that meet the highest international safety standards.
The bullet-resistant Bunkerkit® partitions are designed for organizations and individuals with elevated risk profiles, from government agencies and financial institutions to private panic rooms and industrial security areas. Thanks to the patented modular concept, these partitions can be integrated into both existing buildings and new construction projects without major structural changes.
Certified Bullet-Resistant Partitions according to European standards
The Bunkerkit® system has been extensively tested and certified according to European standards EN 1522-1523, with bulletproof classifications from FB3 to FB7 and AK47. These certifications have been carried out by recognized laboratories such as the Banc National d’Épreuve in Saint-Étienne, France, the Royal Military Academy, and ERM Buildwise/ANPI, which guarantees the reliability and quality of the protection.
Bullet-Resistant Partitions: Classifications and Specifications
The Bunkerkit® system offers protection from FB3 (light handguns) to FB7 (heavy rifle cartridges with steel core), as well as specialized AK47 protection against Kalashnikov ammunition. The panels vary in thickness with weights adapted to the required level of protection.
For detailed ballistic specifications, exact weights, dimensions, and test results for each level of protection, please refer to our comprehensive technical data sheets, which contain all official certification data.
Combinable Protection Systems with Bullet-Resistant Partitions
A unique feature of the Bunkerkit® system is the ability to combine bulletproof protection with other security features within the same modular panel. This means that organizations do not have to choose between different types of protection, but can opt for integrated solutions.
Burglary resistance
All bullet-resistant partitions can be combined with burglary resistance properties in accordance with EN 1627-1630 standards. For example, FB3 panels can be combined with RC4 burglary resistance, while FB7 panels are compatible with RC4, RC5, and MBE3 classifications. This combination offers protection against both ballistic threats and physical burglary attempts using tools.
Electromagnetic Shielding
For sensitive environments, bullet-resistant partitions can be equipped with electromagnetic shielding in accordance with IEEE 299-2006. This configuration provides attenuation of 50 dB to 100 dB for frequencies from 9 kHz to 18 GHz, providing protection against electromagnetic interference, eavesdropping, or EMP attacks.
Bullet-Resistant Partitions: Modular Architecture and Installation Flexibility
The revolutionary aspect of Bunkerkit® lies in its modular design. Unlike traditional bullet-resistant constructions, which are often heavy, permanent, and costly, the Bunkerkit® system offers a flexible, demountable solution that can be adapted to changing security needs.
Dry Installation without Structural Interventions
The installation of bullet-resistant Bunkerkit® partitions does not require welding, concrete pouring, or other structural modifications. This dry installation method means:
- Quick installation without dust production
- Minimal disruption to business operations
- No impact on existing building structures
- Complete disassembly and reusability
Floor and Ceiling Options
The system offers various configuration options, from simple partition walls to complete secure rooms with six surfaces. For rooms that do not allow permanent anchoring in the floor, modular floor plates can be installed that support the panels by their own weight and that of the contents.
Technical Penetrations and Practical Integration of Bullet-Resistant Partitions
Modern secure rooms require technical infrastructure for electricity, data, ventilation, and communication. The Bunkerkit® system meets these needs with specialized penetration systems that maintain ballistic integrity.
Cable Penetrations and Openings
Specific restrictions apply for different security levels:
- FB3-FB6 levels: Cable penetrations with a maximum diameter of 50 mm
- FB7 and AK47: Penetrations up to 20 mm in diameter
- Zigzag penetrations: Mandatory for combinations with bullet resistance to eliminate direct lines of sight
Ventilation and Climate Control
Honeycomb filters enable effective ventilation while maintaining electromagnetic shielding. These filters are available in various materials and can be fitted with EMI/EMC frames for integrated installation.
Bullet-Resistant Partitions: Door and Window Integration
The complete MetalQuartz range of bulletproof doors and windows can be integrated into Bunkerkit® walls with equivalent protection levels. This integration is achieved without welding, using only steel screw connections, which guarantees consistency in protection levels and easy installation.
EMI/EMC Shielded Windows
Specialized windows are available for rooms that require both bulletproof and electromagnetic protection. These consist of laminated safety glass with integrated metal mesh that provides 60-75 dB attenuation across the entire frequency spectrum from 9 kHz to 18 GHz.
Applications for Bullet-Resistant Partitions
Panic Rooms and Shelters
Bullet-resistant Bunkerkit® partitions are ideal for creating panic rooms in homes, offices, or commercial buildings. These shelters offer protection against armed attacks, home invasions, or terrorist threats, while allowing for discreet integration into existing architecture.
Government Buildings and Diplomatic Missions
Embassies, consulates, courthouses, and other government facilities use bullet-resistant partitions to protect sensitive areas, guard posts, and public spaces where there are increased security risks.
Financial Institutions
Banks, credit unions, and other financial service providers implement bulletproof protection in cashier areas, vault rooms, and secure offices. The combination with burglar-resistant properties offers complete protection against physical and ballistic threats.
Industrial and Pharmaceutical Security
Companies that work with valuable intellectual property, hazardous materials, or strategic raw materials use bullet-resistant partitions to secure production areas, laboratories, and storage facilities.
Retail and Luxury Environments
Jewellers, art galleries, luxury retailers and gun dealers implement bulletproof protection to protect staff and valuable goods from armed robberies.
Quality Certifications and Compliance
All Bunkerkit® bullet-resistant partitions are tested and certified by recognized European laboratories. The certifications cover not only ballistic performance but also structural integrity, fire behavior, and environmental impact. This thorough validation ensures that the systems meet insurance requirements and regulatory compliance in various sectors.
Bullet-Resistant Partitions: Test procedures and validation
The bulletproof tests are carried out in accordance with EN 1522-1523 standards, testing different types of ammunition, distances, and angles. Each panel undergoes rigorous quality control during production to ensure consistent performance.
Maintenance and Life Cycle
Bullet-resistant Bunkerkit® partitions are designed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance. The modular construction allows for easy inspection of individual panels, while the demountable nature of the system facilitates upgrades or expansions without complete replacement.
Sustainability and Reusability
Unlike traditional bulletproof constructions, Bunkerkit® partitions can be dismantled and reused when security requirements change or when facilities are relocated. This reusability provides significant long-term cost savings and reduces environmental impact.
Customization and Personalization
The modular nature of Bunkerkit® allows for extensive customization to specific architectural and operational requirements. Finishes can be selected to integrate with existing interiors, while technical specifications can be tailored to unique threat profiles.
Integrating Bullet-Resistant Partitions with Security Systems
Bullet-resistant partitions can be equipped with integrated detection systems, access control, video surveillance, and communications equipment. This system integration creates complete security ecosystems that provide both passive and active protection.
Investing in Future-Proof Security
Bullet-resisitant Bunkerkit® partitions represent a strategic investment in adaptive security. By combining proven ballistic protection with modular flexibility, organizations can adapt their security posture to evolving threats without costly infrastructural changes.
