We frame the NIJ Level III rated material in a fully welded steel frame for rigidity and support. We then completely conceal the ballistic rated material behind an acoustical tackable fabric covered core panel to blend as normal office furniture.
The acoustical panel is designed to absorb sound and is completely moisture and mildew resistant. We utilize high quality fabric rated at 250,000 double rubs under the Wyzenbeek Test Method, which is much greater than the standard fabric used by the competition. The combination of these two materials provide for an incredible acoustical tackable core that is self healing, which means that when you push a pin or tack into place, once it is removed, the hole will disappear.
The entire structure is capped in a beautiful solid hardwood. The sample shown is painted. We paint the solid maple hardwood in an automotive type paint and spray application to provide a beautiful and smooth finish. Stainable hardwoods available are cherry, oak, walnut and mahogany. These stainable versions will be hand rubbed stain with a state-of-the-art spray finish applied to really bring out the beauty of the wood.
Finally, the entire structure is supported by four heavy duty swivel locking casters that are overrated for the total weight of the product. This allows the unit to be easily maneuvered and then locked into place where desired. The lock prevents the wheel from turning, and also locks the swivel from rotating. This keeps the unit completely stable when locked.
Beyond the daily use of this product as an acoustical tackable panel, please keep in mind that during an active shooting threat, the portability of these units will allow you to move towards or away from a threat as necessary. They may be locked in front of doors to hinder access to a room or hallway. They may also be butted together or overlapped to create a wall of protection. The applications for this product is nearly endless and if your establishment becomes involved in an active shooting event, you and your staff will be thankful that you chose the Tactical Tackable as your anti-ballistic protection aid.
