Every day at FBS, we’re working with clients, architects, and interior designers to help create luxury homes unlike any other. We may not be creating floor plans or choosing color palettes, but we believe that our part — assisting with the doors and windows — plays a major role in luxury home design. Whether you’re looking for unmatched craftsmanship or security doors and windows that will keep anyone and everything uninvited out of your luxury dream home, we can make that happen. To assist our clients in this quest, we have a team of architectural designers that can take any and all of your requests and requirements and turn them into a work of art. Here’s what you need to know about our ar...

Hello there! My name is David Vranicar and I’m the Managing Partner here at Fortified & Ballistic Security. I’m very proud to say I’ve been here since the very beginning — I’m one of the founders of the business. I meet with almost all of our clients at some point or another, whether it’s at the beginning when they’re trying to decide if they want to hire us, or later on to look at the final product. I take a lot of pride in getting to know the people we work with and for the sake of transparency, I thought I should get down a few things about myself. I think it’s important to know who you’re working with. Background: Home Automation Before I got into home security, I worked in home auto...

There’s no doubt that the most important aspect of any home security component is that it’s effective. Perhaps the second most important aspect is that it’s hidden. People with traditional home security alarm systems often put that little sign out in front of the house to signal that the home has an alarm on it, which has varying degrees of success in diverting intruders. And perhaps if you’re a regular person who doesn’t live in the limelight, and petty thieves are the only people you’re worried about breaking into your home, that’s enough. But if you live your life in the public eye, or you have other reasons to be concerned about your personal safety, that little sign may not be sufficien...

People often see us as a door and window company, but that’s not actually the case. Sure, we make security doors and windows for luxury homes, but we’re a security company that sells doors and windows. Our top priority at all times is making sure your doors and windows are 100% secure 100% of the time because when they’re not, lives are at risk. We understand the gravity and the importance of the products we create, and given that our entire reputation is banked on our doors and windows being completely functional and secure, we want to make sure our customers are satisfied with their purchases for many years to come. To that end, we’ve decided to expand upon a program we’ve had in place for...

When we talk to our clients about creating fortified (and at times, bulletproof) homes, they typically ask about windows and doors. They want to know how they can ensure the absolute safety of their families in the unfortunate event of a home invasion. We tell them about how our windows are made — how they’re triple-layered and bulletproof, but still beautiful. We show them galleries full of gorgeous fixed and casement windows that add elegance and grandeur to any space. We discuss our high security doors at length because frankly, there’s a lot to talk about. While most of them are made from steel at their core, there is an endless combination of coverings our clients can choose from to cre...
