We participated in the ISC East Show last week in NYC, showing our brand new, patent pending bullet resistant fence. This cutting edge product received awesome feedback from security professionals seeking a better protection from mass shootings.

This bullet resistant fence represented 6 rounds of testing over the past 6 months. We had tested a multitude of testings for the core, different alloys of metal, granular composites, laminate composites, plastics, fibers lexan rubber, wood and poly carbonate were tested. The goal was the most cost effective materiel that could arrest and absorb the energy of a high velocity bullet.

We tested 13 different guns and ammo combinations, 22, 9mm, .357, .44, 30-30, 30-06, AR-15, AK47, shotgun slug and buckshot, and even a .50 caliber rifle to find the best material to stop bullets from a wide range of guns.

The ISC East show brought together the latest products and services for the security industry. Over 200 exhibitors displayed the latest in cameras, detection, crash and bullet resistance. Definitely the most discussed topic was active shooter threats, prevention and response.

Our booth garnered awesome responses with the life size shooter silhouette with spent casings laying at his feet. The bullet resistant wall had over 40 rounds of ammo fired into it. All the bullet holes were visible from the front and no holes were visible from the back, creating quite an impressive scenario fro security professionals to “oooooh” and “aaaaahhhh” over. Actual size bullets were depicted on crime-scene-like placards for attendees to see the actual bullet that had been shot.

All in all, our bullet resistant fence was a huge hit, filling a market void in the security professionals needs. We look forward to working with security professionals to install this revolutionary design on select properties to provide safety, privacy and protection for people gathered behind this special fence.

We love our front porch railings! They certainly add a lot of beauty to our home and they fit the period of our home. When elderly guests come to visit, it’s always good that they have something strong to hold onto, and they fit perfectly what we were looking for. Thanks to everyone on your team for their artistic work. We are very happy with our final products!

Compass delivered absolutely amazing, high quality product. They are true masters.  I am also pleased with their timely communication and guidance, as we worked through the design and transaction process. 

I would definitely recommend them and work with them again.

What an excellent experience we had with Compass Ironworks!! We have spent four years restoring and remodeling a Pre-Civil War home in North Alabama. We have learned a lot through the process and made more than a few mistakes. But choosing Compass Ironworks was not one of those. From the very first interaction, Amos and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Old homes are quirky! No right angles. No two measurements are precisely the same. So using a company in Pennsylvania was a risk. And we are SO GLAD we took that risk! Absolutely flawless!! The designs, the collaboration, the execution, the QUALITY, the timeline and the finished product were all first class!!! We will absolutely choose Compass again for our next project and recommend them to anyone who asks.

The railing is installed and is beautiful … a work of art, to be sure!

My expectations were high and certainly met. I was able to visit the shop and see the railing in progress. It was a thrill to see it then, and very exciting when it arrived at my home.

I have already recommended you to others!
