Bullet Resistant Ballistic Walls & Panels
Ballistic protection for mission-critical environments where impact resistance is non-negotiable.
The Ballistic Wall is engineered for high-impact resistance using a proprietary ceramic composite matrix. Internal air pockets are filled with sand or pea gravel to absorb and dissipate energy from gunshots and ballistic projectiles.
Each wall system is manufactured to meet or exceed Underwriters Laboratory (UL) 752 Level 8 standards, ensuring protection against high-velocity threats.
For enhanced security, our walls can be further reinforced to achieve UL 752 Level 10, capable of withstanding direct hits from powerful 50-caliber rounds, safeguarding critical assets in even the most demanding environments. Ballistic Wall systems are available in permanent or deployable configurations to meet both long-term site protection and temporary project needs.
Ballistic Wall systems require minimal maintenance and are engineered to hold up in harsh operating environments — from extreme cold to severe weather exposure, with demonstrated resilience against seismic activity, including back-to-back 6.0+ magnitude earthquakes. Panels are field-repairable, allowing damaged sections to be addressed on-site without requiring full wall replacement. Panels carry an expected service life of approximately 100 years, giving your operation long-term protection without frequent upkeep or replacement cycles.
Ballistic Panel Verified to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 Level 8 in Independent Lab Test
CSSI engaged a private ballistic testing laboratory to evaluate the ballistic performance of our standard panel. Testing was conducted in accordance with UL Standard 752, Level 8, which the panel successfully passed.
During testing, five rounds were fired from a distance of 15 feet (4.5 meters), all concentrated within a 1-foot by 1-foot (0.3 m × 0.3 m) area of the panel to assess performance under localized, high-impact conditions.
For applications requiring higher levels of ballistic protection, our systems can be engineered to meet more demanding threat requirements.

Performance & Testing
What protection level do CSSI Ballistic Walls provide?
Every CSSI Ballistic Wall system is manufactured to meet or exceed Underwriters Laboratory (UL) 752 Level 8 standards, providing protection against high-velocity threats. For enhanced security, walls can be reinforced to achieve UL 752 Level 10, capable of withstanding direct hits from 50-caliber rounds.
Can Ballistic Walls also provide fire protection?
Yes. Combined fire-rated and ballistic protection solutions are available depending on project requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific threat profile.
What is the expected lifespan of a Ballistic Wall system?
The expected working life of CSSI ballistic wall systems is approximately 100 years. All materials used are inorganic, meaning there is no UV degradation over time — a significant advantage over fiberglass-based systems, which are prone to UV breakdown. Independent weathering tests after five years of exposure showed no strength loss.
Design & Construction
How does the Ballistic Wall stop projectiles?
The wall uses a proprietary ceramic composite matrix. Internal air pockets are filled with sand or pea gravel, which absorbs and dissipates the energy from gunshots and ballistic projectiles, preventing penetration. Panels can be filled at the factory or on-site to help reduce freight costs.
Are Ballistic Walls permanent or can they be moved?
Both options are available. CSSI offers permanent fixed Ballistic Wall systems as well as deployable configurations that can be relocated and reused as needs change.
Installation
What foundation is required for a Ballistic Wall?
Foundation requirements depend on wall height, configuration, and site conditions. Our engineering team will specify requirements based on your project. Deployable ballistic wall systems are also available without permanent foundations.
Maintenance & Warranty
What maintenance do Ballistic Walls require?
Minimal. For installations in high-wind areas, a precautionary check of the ceramic cover bolt tightness is recommended every three years. If a panel sustains a ballistic hit, the damage is typically limited to a hole that can be patched in the field using a repair kit and instructions supplied by CSSI. No other routine maintenance is required.
Do Ballistic Walls come with a warranty?
Yes. CSSI wall systems are typically covered by a five-year warranty. To date, CSSI has not received a single warranty claim on any ballistic protection product it has supplied.
