Security Booth visibility

Maximum visibility and 360 degree views are critical to the function of a security booth, security building, guard house or guard booth. Factory assembled, Par-Kut complete guard booths typically include windows in all four sides. Standard security booths from Par-Kut afford the utmost visibility out there in an exceedingly portable building due to the tubular steel frame. A built-to-order Par-Kut guardhouse can include as much or as little glass as you want.
Enhancements to visibility can be seen in multiple security booth styles. For instance, a solar tint may be included and will reduce glare and eye fatigue for the officers manning the post. If the guardhouse is elevated, the windows may be fabricated such that it is tilted, or angled out, to allow downward viewing. Additionally, Par-Kut has built guardhouses with windows in the roof and in the floor. Windows with lower bottom sills are also available to allow better visibility for individuals seated. In addition, the complete guardhouse may be on a tower or platform to extend field of view.</;>
The shape of a guardhouse can even be changed to suit a specific location, together with a window up high in a restroom wall to allow for a line of sight that allows officers time to anticipate arrival of vehicles or pedestrians. The restroom window, or other “occasional” windows, are usually covered with a blind or shutter or are glazed with one way glass for privacy when needed.
While on the topic of glass, insulated glass helps keep windows clear of condensate and serve to to maintain a comfortable temperature within the booth. Climate and location can even require storm or hurricane resistant (laminated) glass and high level security locations may be upgraded with bullet resistant glass. The various sorts of glass allow a full field of vision and provide safety and comfort for the officers manning the guardhouse.
