What is a doomsday bunker? Have you ever thought about the apocalypse? Or a worldwide virus breakout?

If your answer is “Yes”, then you’ve probably thought about where you’re going to stay and live for that time. Somewhere safe, I assume? While safety is the first thing you should be worrying about, you might as well live lavishly if you’re going to be stuck in there!

Bunkers are used and created for global or national outbreak. They can be found above ground, underground, or really anywhere you see fit!

Security bunkers are great for when things really start to go downhill. If something were to happen where typical shelters are too obvious or too destroyed to be habitable, a hidden bunker will keep you and your loved ones safe.

However, underground bunkers can get super expensive. So, how else can you protect your family through a crisis or apocalypse?

The easy answer is–install ballistic glass in your windows at home.

What is Ballistic Glass?

Ballistic glass is not “bullet proof” glass, because bulletproof glass does not exist. However, it is extremely resistant glass that will stop bullets from entering your home.

Unlike Hollywood expectations, the ballistic glass will not keep all of the bullets out. If it’s being continuously shot at, then it will start to break.

However, it does greatly slow down the possibility of home invasion and entry.

You could even use the ballistic glass to put in jewelry stores, business buildings, and even car windows!

Taking it a step further than ballistic glass, there is even glass with antimicrobial properties. This might not sound like a necessity, but depending on the situation at hand, it could be a life saver.

Antimicrobial Glass

With situations like Coronavirus, you never really think about how many germs you come in contact with on the daily…until you’re forced to.

Having antimicrobial glass installed in your bunker can help to put your mind at ease. If you’re housing elderly people, children, or immunocompromised individuals, any preventative measure you can take is a necessity.

The way this glass works is with an antibacterial agent called ionic silver. The ionic silver is put into the glass for sustained activity–basically meaning that the unique composition on the glass kills the bacteria that comes in contact with.

The surface of the glass is almost slippery-like. While it does kill the bacteria, it also makes it more difficult for the bacteria to stick to the glass in the first place.
