What Does Armoring Entail?

Armoring is becoming a necessity rather than an indulgence or extravagance. And the good news is that armored vehicles don’t have to be bulky, uncomfortable or conspicuous anymore. Luxury armored vehicles are de rigueur now with top armoring service providers being capable of armoring literally any vehicle across a spectrum of makes and models.

The armoring comes in varying ballistic protection levels to suit the level of safety required by the clients. However, irrespective of the ballistic level, the armoring material will always be retrofitted into all the windows, doors and pillars of the vehicle. The body will be properly reinforced from the front to the rear seats or boot divider and the floor to ensure maximum protection to the people inside the vehicle.

While the roof is left untouched in regular armoring, higher ballistic levels like B6 and B7 will create a protective cocoon including the floor, roof, firewalls, engine bay protection, etc.

On the other hand, clients can also choose additional armoring options in the form of add-ons like bomb blankets for the floor, roof armoring, ballistic glass, electric handles, run-flat tires and so on. All this will come together to allow a safe escape in the face of any kind of threat.

However, the quality of materials and work will also matter a lot when it comes to the degree of safety accorded by the armored vehicle.

For instance, regular ballistic material is very heavy and this can weigh down the vehicle a lot. This in turn affects the performance of the vehicle – making it difficult to steer and control. This can make it difficult to escape quickly during a surprise attack.

This is one of the reasons that International Armoring Corporation (www.armormax.com) has developed and patented the revolutionary lightweight Armormax armoring material. This combined with the top quality proprietary techniques will always ensure maximum protection in their luxury armored vehicles.
