So is seems my mom has to do the footwork to find a company that makes and installs security windows for offices.

Does anyone know a good reputable company that can make a solid plexiglass window that will not break? Her boss has made the mistake of having her look so she wants it her way

I can help but I need to know what the window will be used for. Dealing with the public? Bullet resistant?

It will be Monday before I can check into it tho.

Dealing with public is good. Something that at least wont break if punched or impacted. A hole at the bottom to pass money/IDs and stuff through. If you need dimentions i can get those later. Bullet proof would be best but i know the boss and he probably wont go for it cause im sure it costs more than impact/shatter reststant.

You don't want Plexiglass or Acrylic, you want Lexan. Lexan will not break or or shatter like Plexiglass, Acrylic or glass. Your looking at probably $50 a square foot or more.

Are there any shatter tests of objects being thrown/launched at it vs plexiglass?

I've shot 22 long rifle at 1/2 lexan and it went right through it, but the lexan remained intact. Plexiglass will crack, break and shatter etc to some extent. Now if you want bullet resistant, I shot a piece of laminated 1/4" 1/2' 1/2" 1/4" lexan plastic that my dad got with a 12ga slug at 20 yards and the slug only went about 1/2 way through and made a big bubble on the other side. Pretty wicked looking. I don't have the piece to show you, it's at my Mom's house 4 states away.

I always looked at it this way. If bullets can go through it, they can come out of it too.

Pretty much any commercial glass company should be able to help you. I've had good luck with City Glass (Downtown)
