Part 3 APPLICATION |
|
| 3.1 |
Installation |
| |
A. |
Bullet-resistant
sheets are ordinarily mechanically fastened to the side of the supporting
structure that the threat is expected to come from. Install the largest
continuous panel that is practical. Reinforce joints (in front or behind)
with 4-inch wide strips of the same material. |
| |
B. |
LUMAgard™ sheets
expand slightly upon impact as part of the normal dissipation of energy from
incoming bullets. When installing against masonry block or other very hard
surface, leave a 1/4-inch (minimum) gap by shimming the sheets. |
| 3.2 |
Fabrication |
| |
A. |
Fiberglass armor
sheets are readily cut and drilled using tools commonly used to cut and
drill metals. Wear eye protection. Dust generated can be hazardous. Wear a
protective mask to avoid inhaling the dust. Refer to the material safety
data sheet (MSDS) for other important safety information. |
| |
B. |
Finishing materials
(including sheet rock and decorative laminates) are readily bonded to
fiberglass armor sheets using construction-grade contact adhesives or
urethane adhesives. Epoxy adhesives may require that the surface be sanded. |
| 3.3 |
Maintenance |
| |
A. |
LUMAgard™ sheets
can be cleaned using detergent and water. |
