Cincinnati Gasket and Industrial Manufacturing is a blast resistant glass fabricator producing custom blast resistant window glass systems for heavy equipment, steel mills, foundries, and other high-hazard industrial environments. Our systems combine multi-layered, tempered, heat-resistant glazing with purpose-built framing to protect operators from flying debris, molten material, high-energy impacts, and extreme heat that destroy standard windows. Every system is built to your equipment and application, whether you need a single replacement window or a full production run for a fleet.
Blast Resistant Window Glass Systems
A blast resistant window system is an integrated assembly of glazing, framing, and anchoring engineered to work together under high-impact and high-heat conditions. Rather than shattering into dangerous fragments, a properly engineered system is designed to hold together and stay anchored in the frame, protecting the operator from spalling and flying glass.
Depending on the threat level and operating environment, our blast resistant window glass can be built using laminated glass, polycarbonate, and glass-clad polycarbonate constructions. Polycarbonate glazing is especially valued in heavy equipment applications because it delivers extreme impact resistance at a lower weight than all-glass systems. As a blast resistant glass fabricator, Cincinnati Gasket and Industrial Manufacturing selects the right construction for your protection, visibility, and durability requirements.
Heat Shield Window System with Blast Resistant Glass
Cincinnati Gasket and Industrial Manufacturing serves your blast resistant glass needs with a heat shield window system developed to address ongoing, problematic volatile situations. This heat shield system can also be designed into new blast resistant glass applications.
Through the use of specific types of glass and framing, a blast resistant glass window system can help provide injury prevention, environmental protection (reduced heat transfer and sound reduction), improved existing sight lines, and a maintenance-friendly replacement style. The multi-layered, tempered, heat-resistant glass withstands the impacts and heat that destroy regular windows.
Blast Resistant Glass by Equipment Manufacturer
Cincinnati Gasket and Industrial Manufacturing fabricates blast resistant window glass built to fit specific heavy equipment platforms. Because each system is custom made to match cab geometry, mounting configuration, and protection level, you receive a drop-in replacement that seals correctly and performs from day one. Select your equipment manufacturer below, or contact us if your make is not listed. Because our windows are custom built, we can produce systems for additional equipment.
Blast Resistant Glass Applications
Our heat shield window system is currently used across many varied industries for common blast resistant glass applications, including:
- Primary metals production
- Steel facility crane cabs, pulpits, and work stations
- Aluminum facility pot room cranes, skimmers, and furnace forklifts
- Foundry hot metal carriers and pouring stations
- Slag handling and reclamation front loader cabs and crusher stations
Patented Quick-Change Wedge System
When a window becomes damaged in the field, downtime is expensive. Once the glass has been damaged, our patented quick-change wedge system makes installing new glass quick and effortless, getting your equipment back to work with minimal interruption.
