Our History
Founded in 2006 in Bessemer, Alabama, our company started in the blast-resistant glazing space, working on high-profile federal buildings including the Pentagon and the Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building after attacks on those facilities. We expanded into other industries with Terminal C at the Raleigh-Durham Airport, Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, and Chevron’s Permian Basin headquarters building in Midland, Texas.
In 2015, we entered the hurricane resistant curtain wall market with an office in South Florida. We are now the leading contractor for design, fabrication and installation of pressure equalized curtainwall systems for hurricane impact and won the Best Protective Glazing Project award from Glass Magazine for our work on Terminal C of the Orlando International Airport.
As one of the few suppliers that still design, fabricate and install our own systems, Physical Security now includes 275 professionals and a 20-acre, 90,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
Our Team
Our leadership includes seasoned professionals with decades of experience in construction management, high-performance building systems, and the evolving demands of the modern built environment.
What Sets Us Apart
Physical Security outperforms the competition due to four key differentiators.
Integrated Process
Very few companies in our industry design, manufacture, and install curtain wall systems. This rare vertical integration – plus direct, onsite communication between our engineering and fabrication teams – gives our clients greater quality control, project efficiency and accountability.
Owner Involvement
Our onsite, on-call owners are personally involved in day-to-day operations. Clients know exactly who is backing their performance bond: an accessible team of owners who interact directly with clients, not a distant, absentee or investor-run holding company.
Industry-Leading Expertise
Our professionals lead the industry with deep knowledge and experience across both storm-hardening and blast mitigation. Our finely engineered curtain wall systems maintain structural integrity and protect occupants under the most demanding conditions.
Engineering Mindset
We connect our clients’ architectural visions with structural security performance. Our in-house engineers craft curtain wall solutions that ensure performance integrity while preserving the original design intent.
Our Guarantee
Our bonding capacity enables us to meet contractual obligations and deliver projects on time and on budget. We hold single-project bonding capacity of $50 million and aggregate bonding capacity of $150 million – limits that allow us to handle multiple high-value projects simultaneously.
Our Systems Increase Sustainability, Reduce Operating Costs.
High-performance glazing systems reduce building energy consumption and operating costs. By optimizing thermal insulation, controlling solar heat gain, and improving daylighting efficiency, these systems help stabilize indoor temperatures and reduce the load on HVAC equipment. These gains can advance broader sustainability goals by lowering a building’s carbon footprint, supporting compliance with energy codes and green building standards, and contributing to LEED certification points, helping projects achieve recognized standards for sustainable, high-performance buildings.
