ATM Bulletproof Protective Roller Shutters: Ballistic Protection, Forced-Entry Resistance and Security for Building Openings
Introduction
Windows, doors, entrances and other vulnerable building openings can be important considerations when designing a facility's physical protection. Atmas Group's ATM Bulletproof is a high-security, bullet-resistant protective roller shutter system developed to protect these openings against ballistic threats, forced entry, burglary and unauthorized access.
According to the manufacturer's product description, the system combines reinforced construction with ballistic protection while retaining the functionality of a roller shutter. The design can be customized to meet project-specific dimensions, installation conditions, architectural requirements and protection levels.
ATM Bulletproof is intended for both new construction and retrofit projects. Its listed features include electric motor operation, manual operation in the event of power failure, customized finishes and configurations, and an optional Molotov cocktail-resistant finish.

Ballistic Protection and Applicable Standards
The ATM Bulletproof product page identifies several ballistic-protection classifications and related security ratings.
Protection characteristic | Rating specified by Atmas Group |
Ballistic protection | FB4 according to EN 1522 |
Forced-entry resistance | RC5 according to EN 1627, EN 1628 and EN 1630 |
Additional ballistic classification | NIJ III / III-A according to NIJ 0108.01 |
Ballistic classification | UL 752 Level 2 |
Wind resistance | Class 5 according to EN 12424 |
These classifications describe different aspects of protection. EN 1522 addresses ballistic resistance for windows, doors, shutters and blinds, while EN 1627, EN 1628 and EN 1630 relate to the classification and testing of resistance to burglary attempts. EN 12424 concerns the resistance of industrial doors to wind load.
The ratings above are reproduced from the ATM Bulletproof product specifications. They should not be interpreted as interchangeable classifications or assumed to apply to other Atmas Group shutter models.
For a particular installation, the relevant product configuration and its supporting technical documentation should be checked against the project's security requirements.
Reinforced Construction and Physical Security
According to Atmas Group, ATM Bulletproof uses high-strength extruded aluminium reinforced with ballistic material.
This construction is designed to combine the operating functionality of a roller shutter with the specified ballistic and forced-entry protection characteristics.
The product description identifies protection against:
Ballistic threats.
Burglary and forced entry.
Unauthorized access.
The system is intended to protect vulnerable building openings. Its suitability for a particular opening depends on the dimensions, installation conditions, selected configuration and required protection level.
Atmas Group also lists customized dimensions, finishes and configurations, allowing the system to be adapted to individual project requirements.
The published description does not provide detailed information about the thickness of the profiles, the composition of the reinforcement material or the shutter's weight. These technical details should therefore be requested from the manufacturer when preparing a project specification.

Electric Operation and Manual Backup
ATM Bulletproof features electric motor operation with manual operation in the event of power failure, according to the manufacturer's published specifications.
Motorized operation supports everyday use, while the manual operating option provides an alternative when electrical power is unavailable.
The product page does not specify the motor's power rating, operating speed, control system or manual override mechanism. These details depend on the selected configuration and should be confirmed with Atmas Group.
The manufacturer also lists the system as suitable for new construction and retrofit projects. This means that it can be considered both when planning a new building and when upgrading an existing facility, subject to the installation requirements.
Custom Dimensions and Configurations
ATM Bulletproof can be customized according to the required dimensions, installation conditions, architectural requirements and protection level.
The product page lists a maximum recommended size of 7,000 mm in width × 9,000 mm in height.
This is the maximum recommended size stated on the product page, not a guarantee that every opening of those dimensions can be accommodated. The manufacturer should confirm feasibility for the specific project, including the structural conditions, installation arrangement and selected protection configuration.
The available customization options listed by Atmas Group include:
Custom dimensions.
Different finishes.
Customized configurations.
An optional Molotov cocktail-resistant finish.
These options allow the shutter to be specified according to project requirements. The exact scope of customization should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Applications in Residential, Commercial and High-Security Facilities
Atmas Group identifies a broad range of potential applications for ATM Bulletproof.
The published product description lists:
Government and military facilities.
Embassies.
Critical infrastructure.
Banks.
Data centres.
Airports.
Museums.
High-value commercial properties.
Private residences.
Shelters and bunkers.
Safe rooms.
Other high-security facilities.
In these environments, protective roller shutters can form part of a broader physical-security strategy for vulnerable building openings.
ATM Bulletproof can be supplied as an individual protective system or integrated by Atmas Group into a wider solution addressing ballistic threats, forced entry and physical protection across a facility.
The selection of a shutter should be based on the actual risks, required protection classifications, building design and installation conditions. The product's listed ratings should be verified against the documentation for the configuration proposed for the project.

ATM Bulletproof Within the Atmas Group Protective Shutter Portfolio
ATM Bulletproof is one of several protective roller shutter solutions presented by Atmas Group.
The company's broader range includes customized protective shutters, fire-resistant shutters, bulletproof-blast shutters and security shutters. Their protection characteristics differ according to the product and its configuration.
For example, the ATM Bulletproof-Blast model is described separately by Atmas Group as offering blast resistance in addition to ballistic and forced-entry protection. Those additional characteristics should not automatically be attributed to ATM Bulletproof.
