Security-rated openings need an installer who specifies to the rating, coordinates the frame, and owns install end-to-end. AGG specifies to **UL 752 ballistic, UL 972 burglary-resistant, ASTM F2912 blast-resistant, ASTM F3561 post-active-shooter, ASTM E 1886/E 1996 hurricane-impact, ANSI Z97.1 / CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety glazing, IBC 2406.4 hazardous-location glazing, and GSA-TS01 government-rated assemblies**. NGA's School Security Glazing FB71-24 seven-level framework (Basic, Enhanced, Ballistic Protection, Forced Entry, Enhanced Forced Entry, Multiple Forced Entry Assault, Blast Mitigation) sits behind the language buyers and architects use today. On the coast, multi-ply laminated assemblies that satisfy hurricane-impact and security ratings simultaneously are routine. Hurricane-impact as an operational service routes to Window Glass Replacement, Storefront Glass Repair & Installation, Commercial Window & Door Installation & Repair, and Building Envelope Restoration.

Four generations of glazing craftsmanship, three serving Myrtle Beach. AGG carries a depth of standards-fluency and multi-ply laminated assembly capability most local glaziers don't. The commercial framing partnership is AIA/CES-Registered and aligns architect drawings, frame compatibility, and rating-test certification documentation through delivery. Specialty laminate integration draws from McGrory Glass, Insulgard, Riot Glass, Total Security Solutions, DefenseLite, Viracon, Cardinal, Pilkington, and DuPont SentryGlas® / Kuraray per spec. AGG-led crews handle measure, fabrication coordination, engineering review, and install end-to-end.

Pricing is scope-quoted across four rating tiers. UL 972 forced-entry-resistant glass typically runs $80–$250+ per square foot installed. UL 752 ballistic Levels 1–3 (handgun) runs $200–$500+. UL 752 ballistic Levels 4–8 (rifle) runs $500–$1,500+ — premium tier with multi-ply polycarbonate-glass laminates. ASTM F2912 blast-resistant runs $300–$1,000+, rating and standoff dependent. Hurricane-impact (ASTM E 1886/E 1996) pricing context lives on Window Glass Replacement; and Storefront Glass Repair & Installation. Security-rated frames typically add 30–80% above standard commercial framing. Free consultation locks the exact quote.
Levels 1–3 (handgun: 9mm / .357 Magnum / .44 Magnum) cover retail entry vestibule, school reception, financial teller stations, and government service windows. Levels 4–8 (rifle: .223 / 5.56 / 7.62 NATO / .30-06) cover federal facility, government building, executive protection, and security checkpoint.

Safety glass (tempered or laminated) is code-driven injury prevention — IBC 2406.4, ANSI Z97.1, and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 — required at hazardous-location glazing (doors, low-to-floor, tubs, showers, pools, handrails). Security glass is rating-driven threat resistance — UL 972 forced-entry, UL 752 ballistic, ASTM F2912 blast — engineered to defeat smash-and-grab, ballistic, or blast threats. Hurricane-impact glass is coastal code-driven — ASTM E 1886/E 1996 and Miami-Dade HVHZ — engineered for wind-borne debris in hurricane zones. Coastal Grand Strand commercial is often spec'd to both hurricane-impact and security ratings simultaneously, satisfied by a multi-ply laminated assembly.
Window Glass Replacement; Storefront Glass Repair & Installation
Baseline is ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety glazing. Security stacks UL 972 burglary-resistant (smash-and-grab), ASTM F1233 Class 1.4 classroom-door forced-entry, and ASTM F3561 (2022 post-active-shooter / 10-shot AR-15 burst). NGA's School Security Glazing FB71-24 seven-level resistance framework (Basic, Enhanced, Ballistic Protection, Forced Entry, Enhanced Forced Entry, Multiple Forced Entry Assault, Blast Mitigation) is the canonical industry reference. AGG specifies per the district or risk-management lead's threat assessment.
Sometimes yes; sometimes no — frame compatibility drives the answer. UL 972 forced-entry-resistant can often retrofit into existing commercial storefront framing — a 3-ply PVB-interlayer laminate fits a standard glazing pocket. UL 752 ballistic and ASTM F2912 blast-resistant typically require security-rated frames with deeper structural anchor; retrofit to standard storefront framing is rarely viable. AGG site-visits to verify frame compatibility before quoting; YKK AP ProTek, EFCO security frame, or Oldcastle StormMaster Plus integration is available where retrofit isn't viable.

I need to replaced a broken seal window pane. It was very easy to schedule the measurement and installation thru Loren. Trevor and Kevin did a fantastic job with the measurement and installation.

I highly recommend them and if we have another window go bad we absolutely will use them again ..

Trevor & Kevin were very professional & did a great job installing our shower door. Very personable & explained everything that was done. We would recommend this company 100%.
Trevor and Kevin took heat care of us. They came to my gym to replace a broken mirror. Everyone was friendly and professional all the way through the process. Mirror looks great and they cleaned up after themselves. Definitely recommend!!! Patrick Flynn - Owner Anytime Fitness Forestbrook
We chose American Glass & Glazing after speaking with Loren and she answered questions about their products and services. We were ready to replace the standard builders grade shower frame door that came with our home to something more elevated and easier to clean. From start to finish through on-site measurement, Loren and then the installers Trevor and Steven were very friendly and helpful. Work was done quickly - in only about two week turn around from start to installation. We would highly recommend American Glass & Glazing if you’re in the market for a shower upgrade or other glass project! I’ve added a before and after photo of the shower door. The frameless glass with black hardware really is a fabulous sleek look!
Trevor, Kevin and Lauren were all awesome. Professional and great craftsmanship. They installed a large mirror at my gym and did an amazing job! Definitely recommend. Patrick Flynn - Anytime Fitness Forestbrook

Great company and genuine people who are a pleasure to work with . We had an issue with leveling our store front door . I called Loren , she scheduled promptly. Trevor and his team came in , the next day , they went above and beyond in removing the front door and making sure the base is at a level then re-installed the door.
Best company!! The install guys to the office, a great experience!!!
The only company to go to for your glass needs! They just replaced our “builders grade” shower door with a semi-frameless door. They did a beautiful job! Highly recommended!
This company is the only glass company in the area that returned my call. They are fast, friendly and affordable. Loren and Trevor were both very knowledgeable and professional. They clean up before they leave as well. Highly recommend American Glass & Glazing for your glass repair or replacement needs!!
This company is amazing! I was so fortunate to have them replace the glass on a broken window rather than replace it!! Everyone is very courteous and their workmanship is exceptional. These folks really take pride in what they do. Thank you again!
I needed a small piece of glass, and was very pleased to have it done right there and then. Clean store, friendly service. Definitely will go there for all my glass needs.
American Glass & Glazing are the Best!!! From the start with Loren, she was fantastic answering all my questions and scheduling. Everything went perfectly with Trever and the install of a new tempered glass section on my oceanfront condo, window... fantastic! He also followed up and called me about checked about other patio doors on operation I asked for from Loren. This is what I want in a Window Contractor. Call them
Trevor and his assistants were on time, very courteous, and efficient in fixing our windows. They were truly a pleasure to deal with. My husband and I would highly recommend to others.
Super fast and friendly. Did a excellent job on our back doors glass replacement.
Very nice people and easy to work with! Measuring and installation went smoothly and they were very thorough with clean up. 5 stars for communication as well, this is hard to find!
Bifold shower door was installed with close attention to all details, no matter how small. They measured and remeasured to ensure that it was installed correctly and without flaws. Crew was highly professional, personable, and presented themselves that was a credit to their company. I highly recommend American Glass & Glazing for shower door update and install.
From start to finish our experience was perfect. The tech, Trevor, was tidy, polite, meticulous with his work. We had a couple of non-square pieces that needed precise patterns and he got them traced out exact. I'd highly recommend this company. Prior to calling we were stood up by one, then another came out and said they'd get us an estimate but never did. I was exasperated! Needless to say I was concerned but 3rd time was a charm.
Great job!!! Trevor and Justin were so friendly, courteous and professional. Installation was done in a timely fashion. This is a great company, from speaking with Loren who was very helpful all the way through to the installation. Love my shower door.!!!
Excellent Service! From scheduling to installation it was a great experience. Installers Trevor and Kevin were very professional, on time and Excellent work! We highly recommend this company!
The experiencing was amazing , they were quick and fairly priced. Was very pleased!
The entire process was easy from start to finish. The installer was courteous and quick to resolve issues with first install. Customer service department was polite and quick to respond as well.
Trevor and Kevin came to replace a bad glass panel, and did a great job replacing the glass. Thanks guys! On time, knew their job and cleaned up! Professional!
I had a window that needed to be replaced in a condo. American glass came out and measured, ordered, and replaced. I wasn’t able to be at the property when they did the work, but they kept me advised of their progress and made this project very easy.
Prompt and friendly small business. They were quick to come out and make a template for a custom glass top we will use to protect a coffee bar. Very happy with results, communication, and keeping appointments! Set it perfectly and cleaned spotlessly!
Trevor is very knowledgeable and does amazing work. I highly recommend American Glass & Glazing to everyone.
Looking for glass replacement for broken window seal. I wasn’t up for replacing the entire window and called for pricing and info. American Glass & Glazing responded promptly. I appreciate that they sent the same technicians to quote the job and perform the installation. They were on time, kind and courteous. I appreciate craftsmen working on my home having patience and not being in a giant rush to do a job. That is what I got with this company. I’ve decided to add another window for glass replacement that appears to be on its way out. I highly recommend calling American Glass & Glazing for your broken window seals if you have cloudy glass. I wasn’t up for trying to figure out who the window manufacturer is then pay shipping, removing interior shutters and having it installed myself then re-installing shutters & caulk which is how window warranty works. No thanks! If you’re considering a solution for your windows with broken seals, give them a call.
This company and their employees I had interaction with, were the best. Lauren, Trever and Keven were very professional, very respectful and just a true blessing to work with!! I thank each of them for making this an easy transaction. They were there when they said they would be! Everything was on time! I was never waiting to see when they would show up. They give you an hour window and they were there inside that window! Always with a call they were on their way! I love their communication with the customer!! ♥️
Staff was very easy to work with and are very respectful. The install took most of the day but was worth it! Love the new shower doors!’
Loren was responsive and easy to work with. Our delivery team, Trevor and Kevin, were awesome — professional, prompt, and super accommodating. Give these guys a raise! I’d definitely use American Glass again.
Just received delivery of our glass top for dining room table and could not be happier. What a pleasure working with Lauren and Trevor. From placing the order to delivery, true professionals. Would highly recommend.
Trevor and Kevin did a great job installing our new balancer, locks, and window glass. Very professional, punctual, and kind. We didn’t know the balancer was broke and Trevor told us about it which we appreciated. They ordered the part and installed it along with the other items. Thank you Trevor and Kevin. We would highly recommend this company and will use them again if needed.
Trevor from American glass did a great job replacing a difficult window with mutins that needed to line up exactly. Highly recommend.
Can’t say enough good things about this company! They are so friendly and do an amazing job! They came in under everyone else on price and had it installed in 2 weeks where everyone else was 3-4 weeks out. I will be referring them to everyone I know who needs glass installed. Thank you!!!
A professional, courteous and pleasant experience from start to finish. Loren in the office was thorough and communicative. We had a very clear idea of what to expect the day of measurement, the lead time to manufacture, and what the day of install would be like. Trevor and Kevin arrived, on time, and performed a seamless install, left our home in better condition than they found it, and did it with a smile. After our experience today, our family won’t consider using any company other than American Glass & Glazing, and neither should yours!
Excellent experience from my call to completion of the job. I needed to replace a damaged panel on my sliding glass door. The technicians were on time, did a great installation, and cleaned up when done. Would highly recommend.
Excellent. New glass made a huge difference. Trevor and Kevin were great - worked around drywall installers on site. Installed quickly and completely cleaned up.
