The document discusses security threats like bomb attacks and firearms that endanger human lives and buildings. It describes how integrated security building components and systems can provide reliable protection against such threats. Sälzer is presented as a security specialist that develops explosion-resistant and bulletproof building materials and designs customized security concepts through testing and innovation.
3. The motives for brute force in the form of
terrorist bomb attacks are as varied as
human beliefs: Be they religious, political,
sociological or even personal reasons that
induce mankind to harm their fellow beings.
Within seconds bomb attacks wipe out countless human lives,
destroy buildings and cause substantial economic damage.
Today more than ever personal safety is the focus of both public
and private construction work. Only an indestructable outer
protective shell which will stand like a bulwark between mankind
and the terrorist threat can save lives and protect values.
Violence without respect for human life -
At the mercy of terror: Defenseless?
Possible bomb attacks
pose great challenges
for architects, planners
and security strategists.
A bomb explodes:
Conventional materials
and building components
have no chance.
Mankind is vulnerable,
completely at the mercy
of the terrorist threat.

5. In focus -
Life-threatening danger: No chance?
Building components
with an integrated safety
factor form a reliable
shield between man and
the threat.
Whether hand-gun or
high powered rifle – the
deadly threat posed by
firearms necessitates
technical security
solutions which protect
people in buildings.

We all live and work in buildings and feel supposedly safe
there. But criminal energy pushes its way through easily
accessible openings such as windows, doors and gates making
no distinction between politicians, business people and private
individuals. The forced entry into buildings poses a direct threat
to an individual´s safety – burglary and the destruction of data,
information and valuables increase the harm. Only a security
system specially designed to meet individual requirements can
effectively avert the danger.
6. Security that is integrated in a harmonious manner into the architectural concept6]
7. The many facets of danger -
And of individual security.
The potential danger lurking in both public and private spheres
is in each instance unique. Just as unique is the entitlement
for saftety provision. Vulnerability and danger have completely
different characteristics when applied to government,
embassies, the military, public authorities, airports, banks,
industry and private persons. Integral knowledge, special
know-how and decades of experience are necessary to meet
the particular demands required to create complete internal
and external security. Taking into consideration all risks
and objectives Sälzer analyses each individual requirement.
The result: Unique safety concepts with a specially designed
range of products such as windows, facades, doors, gates,
guard booths and towers, sally ports, partitions, grilles,
barriers and bollards. The rich variety and individuality of the
products guarantee both unlimited security and maximum
architectural freedom.
A wide spectrum of safety
components and systems
and the knowledge about
their effects means that
each individual requirement
can be catered for.
