So, there's this house that has been deeply discounted about $100,000 off its original listing price. Just last month there were 3 armed robberies next door to that house on a street with businesses. There have been muggings and rapes at knife point on that block in the past four months. I consider this too much of a war zone, but my partner insists to play the speculative game of appreciation as that area is slated for redevelopment very soon (it's in the process of gentrifying right now actually). I don't want to take the chance but he does, since a block over houses are still selling at $300K+. This would be a potential rental once it's fixed up a bit (it also needs work, but mostly cosmetic like refinishing the hardwood floors). However, we wouldn't be renting it out immediately instead we would live in it for 3 to 5 years. Which is why I'd want to bullet proof the property so to not worry about stray bullets fired at the businesses being held up next door. I'd like to put this in my cost analysis since my partner is claiming it's a good price, my argument has been just because the numbers seem good doesn't mean the socio-economic reality is good. If I can't convince him, I figured to rerun the numbers with all the repairs needed. Heck, maybe he is right and I'm wrong after all. I just want to make extra sure before we regret passing up this deal, which I'm tempted to move on from. [links]

Wow it's one thing to rent it out but to live there! Your most important investment is your life. You can't put a price tag on that. Sorry but I would find a new partner and invest in a better area.

Bullet resistance system installation for home is quite different than commercial buildings. A home should be the most relaxing and refreshing place to live in. Therefore, bulletproof windows for home use must be beautiful and elegant while incorporating security. After all the primary reason for installing a glass window is to see the world through them, that view must be clear. So the bulky window glass simply will not work.

Bulletproof windows and doors can provide:

Apart from these three basic forms of bullet-resistant glass, there are eight different protection levels specified and rated by the Underwriters laboratory. It is very important to understand these protection levels for establishing better specifications for a bulletproof reinforcement project for your house. [links]

Depending on the factors like size and type of bulletproof glass, it’s cost can range between $25 to $100 per sq. foot. here

Level 4-8 (very high threat level): Such glass type is designed for automated weapons and assault rifles. They are typically used in overseas embassies, military bases, and important government buildings.

Level 2 (high threat level): Level 2 protection glass can absorb the bullet impact of smaller caliber handguns or weapons. Such glass is used in the places with higher security concerns like financial institutions, banks and business offices demanding higher security levels. [links]

Whether you need bulletproof windows for a government facility or ballistic glass for partitions in a financial institution, Bullet Guard Corporation has the option for your needs.

When choosing the right material and level for your bullet resistant glass product, it is important to consider the following:

[fredvs79]

Acrylic and polycarbonate are both available in a variety of formulas and blends, and are manufactured in an array of thicknesses to meet different impact resistance requirements. Two of the most popular polycarbonate plastics include Lexgard® and Hygard®, which are valued for their high level of clarity and ability to absorb and diffuse impact energy.

Bulletproof and bullet resistant glass windows are used to provide protection from ballistic projectiles. They are manufactured from a variety of different grades specifically geared to withstand projectiles of different velocities.
