(1) Bullet-proof glass: This glass is made of several layers of plate glass and alternate layers consist of vinyl-resin plastic. The outer layers of plate glass are made thinner than the inner layers. The special care is to be taken for heating and cooling of layers during manufacture. The thickness of this type of glass may vary from 15 mm to 75 mm or more. It will not allow bullet to pierce through it.
