Blast protection concealed by the natural beauty and hardness of
granite.
It is the marriage of nature and technology that makes
ArmorStone such an amazing material. Two remarkable performers
joined to create an awesome solution. Essential to its performance is the
proprietary combination of materials and chemistries that result in a
super hard facade that absorbs and dissipates energy. The requirements
for excessive standoff, swarms of bollards, or bunker-like aesthetics are
eliminated; enabling architects to create buildings that make the public
feel welcome - not fearful.
A Custom Solution
One size does not fit all. Different projects require different levels of
protection. That's why ArmorStone is available in varying thicknesses and
sizes making it possible for you to customize the product and achieve
specific levels of protection.
Supporting Evidence
When we said no aesthetic compromises, we meant it. A project built with
ArmorStone is in many ways just like any job completed with Cold Spring Granite.
You'll have access to the industry's widest selection of colors and finishes and all the
service and support you've come to expect. Whether your project calls for a bold
statement or subtle color matching with existing structures, Cold Spring Granite has
the natural resources and the finishing capabilities to ensure you're getting precisely
the look you had in mind.
Proven performance. When lives are on the line, it's important to have all your facts
straight. Hardwire, LLC has performed extensive ballistics testing on ArmorStone.
Additional and extensive blast performance testing was completed at Baker Engineering
and Risk Consultants under the supervision of Hinman Consulting Engineers. The process
was time-consuming, costly and completely necessary. The result is a completely
validated analytical model that can be used in the design of ArmorStone into your
project. Additional testing and performance information is available upon request.
