Coverage & How Much You Need:

One panel covers its face area; a 4 ft x 8 ft sheet covers 32 sq ft of wall. Plan the layout so seams land on framing, and order enough panels to cover the protected area with seams staggered.

Fit and Compatibility:

Armorcore panels are made at all 8 UL752 levels and NIJ0108.01 specifications; choose a lower or higher level as the threat assessment requires. Attach to framing or existing walls with self-tapping drywall screws or construction adhesive; framing, fasteners and cover materials are sold separately. Pre-drilling may be required for thicknesses of 1.125 in. or greater.

Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Level 3 panels are a common choice for retail counters, schools and government offices where handgun protection and a one hour fire rating are specified. For rifle threats, step up to the appropriate higher UL752 level rather than stacking Level 3. Plan screw or adhesive fastening into framing, and let the factory water-jet cut custom openings for counters and doors to preserve ballistic integrity.

Cut only with a diamond-grit blade using proper respiratory and eye protection, and follow local building and security code requirements for ballistic installations.
