Introducing BRONEL Ballistic Curtains: Advancing Interior Protection
Engineered in Ukraine, the BRONEL ballistic curtains are designed to safeguard indoor spaces from explosive debris. Suitable for use in homes, schools, hospitals, offices, and data centers, these curtains consist of movable protective panels mounted over window openings. Their function is to absorb the kinetic energy of flying fragments, preventing them from dispersing inside the protected area.
Design Features and Specifications
The core of BRONEL curtains is a multilayer ballistic package made from fire-resistant materials. The panel covers are crafted from durable Oxford fabric, which resists moisture, mold, and disinfectants. Panels slide along specialized guides that ensure both stability and ease of operation. The standard version measures 80 cm wide, 3 meters tall, and 2 cm thick, with options for custom sizes available.
The BRONEL project was officially launched on October 1, 2026. Testing took place at the National Defense University of Ukraine, where the curtains met both Ukrainian and NATO standards. During trials, a panel successfully stopped a simulated fragment weighing 1.1 grams traveling at 479.67 meters per second. The manufacturer emphasizes that BRONEL curtains serve as supplementary protection and are not intended to replace full-scale shelters.
"Contemporary architecture can no longer overlook security realities, yet it must maintain aesthetic appeal without becoming fortress-like. With Bronel, we aimed to introduce a fundamentally new category of solutions that blend military-grade protective technology with elegant design for residential and commercial spaces." — Artem Henzel, one of the curtain developers
BRONEL ballistic curtains represent a breakthrough in combining practicality and style to enhance safety in today’s environment.
This innovation marks a significant advancement in civil protection, especially given the current geopolitical climate in Ukraine. By integrating such technology into building design, it is possible to significantly improve defense against explosions while preserving architectural aesthetics—a crucial balance for modern construction projects.
