All types of homes, commercial facilities, and retail stores can benefit from upgrading windows and doors with security glass to protect against day to day threats. Alarms, cameras, and other security measures are all great, but they don’t physically keep intruders out or protect people inside from an attacker. Standard window glass is the most vulnerable point on any building, but you can change this by installing Riot Glass security glass to protect your property and the lives of those inside. Riot Glass products provide the perfect balance between top-of-the-line security and aesthetics.
Riot Glass offers three of the best types of security glass products available on the market: Riot Glass laminated security glass, and ArmorPlast polycarbonate panels. All three product lines are rated among the strongest glass security solutions you can install on your property. No matter what your security concerns are, there is a Riot Glass product to fit your needs.

Riot Glass Window Laminates is the strongest glass film available to add an extra layer of protection to your existing glass windows and doors. Security glass film is applied on top of your existing glass and can delay forced entry attempts by up to three minutes. That delay can potentially save lives by giving those inside time to call the police and barricade themselves in a room or evacuate the building and get to safety.
Security film also holds the existing glass together against impacts and prevents it from shattering dangerously inwards, reducing the chance of injury from natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind storms. It is one of the most affordable and effective ways to secure any property against both man-made threats and mother nature.
Riot Glass laminated security glass is 5x stronger and 100x stiffer than standard types of security glass. It is highly resistant to forced entry attempts and can withstand impacts from any kind of tool, including baseball bats, hammers, crowbars, axes, and anything else a would-be intruder might use to break in. This makes Riot Glass one of the most effective options for securing your home or business against burglars and other intruders.
Security glass is ideal when you want to secure a retail store against burglary, rioting, looting, and other threats without going through the hassle and expense of complete glass replacement. The thermoplastic interlayer in Riot Glass laminated security glass panels is virtually unbreakable under most common circumstances, or it will delay attempted entry long enough to deter criminals. It will protect your retail store from devastating losses due to building damage, stolen inventory, and lost revenue.
When you want the highest level of defense, ArmorPlast glazing shields are the way to go. These polycarbonate and acrylic panels are available with containment-grade to ballistic-grade resistance ratings so that you can protect your property against the most violent attacks. ArmorPlast containment-grade panels will retain their integrity and remain a barrier to entry even after being hit by multiple bullets, whereas ballistic-grade panels will completely stop bullets from firearms of various calibers.
ArmorPlast’s level of protection is unmatched when you want to be sure that your glass can withstand an attack by multiple attackers, heavy tools, and ballistic rounds. It is an ideal solution for high-risk properties like government facilities, banks, schools, religious buildings, correctional facilities, detention centers, and many other types. ArmorPlast products truly create a no-entry zone for the highest level of glass security.
When you’re looking for ways to increase the security of your home or business, it can be hard to find solutions that don’t detract from the appearance of the property or cut down on visibility through your windows and doors. While things like window bars and gates do add security, they can also make your place of business unattractive and make it hard to see outside. With Riot Glass security glass products, you don’t have to worry about these issues. They fit right on top of your existing glass and are completely transparent, making them practically invisible.
Riot Glass laminated security glass windows and ArmorPlast polycarbonate and acrylic panels can be retrofitted onto most existing residential and commercial window frames. This means that unless weight is a concern, you can keep everything about the appearance of your windows exactly the same. In the case of Riot Glass security glass film, it is just applied directly on top of the existing glass, so you won’t even know it’s there.
Riot Glass products are also available with other aesthetic options that you can choose from to enhance the appearance and performance of your glass. You can choose from various tinted colors and reflective mirrored finishes to give your glass a totally new look and reduce the heat, glare, and sunlight that comes in through your windows. Low-E, or Low Emissivity, options are also available for the highest level of energy efficiency.
All Riot Glass products are available in 100% transparent options. If you install the thickest panels available, the visual sharpness of the glass may be slightly affected. Still, the difference is so minimal that you are unlikely to notice a change.
You can use the same cleaning methods on Riot Glass products that you would use to clean regular glass. In fact, Riot Glass products have a protective coating that makes them more resistant to scratching and marring, so they can withstand even the most rigorous cleanings.
That depends on the particular product and where the signage is displayed. A Riot Glass security consultant can advise you further during an onsite inspection. Contact us today for more information on Riot Glass or to schedule a consultation and receive an estimate.
