How we are different

We create groundbreaking products that retrofit into existing glazing to fortify your building. Our patented ArmorPlast® systems have received broad national adoption. Our brand focus is on improving glass security and the fenestration security of the space as a whole.

Riot Glass® products have an elegant, minimalist appearance that blends seamlessly into existing glazing configurations. Our systems are incredibly strong and are adaptable to almost any existing window system in widely varying architectural styles: from ultra-modern to historical properties. Riot Glass® is high-level protection designed to thwart the most severe attacks.

Reinforcement for Glass Government & Military Doors & Windows

Government and military facilities are some of the most secure out there, but they’re only as strong as their glass doors and windows. Without the proper security glazing, armed intruders, burglars, and mobs of rioters can easily smash through glass to gain entry to a facility.

In the best case scenario, this results in expensive cleanup, repairs, and glass replacement. In the worst case, it can result in loss of life and breaches of classified information. 

This is why it’s of the utmost importance to install some type of security glass for military and government facilities. 

For any type of high-security facility, the proper security glazing mitigates the above threats to protect the property, its employees, and all the valuable equipment and information inside.

Riot Glass® Ballistic-Grade & Containment-Grade Glazing Shields

Riot Glass® offers a full range of security glazing solutions for government facilities and other high-security properties. 

We recognize that not every facility has the same security concerns or goals. That’s why our products are available in containment-grade (non-ballistic) and a variety of ballistic-grade options.

A containment-grade glazing shield will not stop bullets, but it can still act as an impassable barrier and keep bad guys out after being riddled with bullets. 

Our ballistic-grade glazing shields are available with UL ratings up through a UL 752 Level 7 rating. 

Security glass for military and government facilities with a UL 752 Level 7 rating can resist a high-speed, multi-shot barrage of bullets from an AK-47 rifle using .308 150-grain military rounds.

When you install Riot Glass®, the existing glass is protected behind an incredibly impact-resistant glazing shield. Whether it’s a mob of rioters, an active threat, or any other would-be intruder, they won’t be able to easily gain entry to your facility through Riot Glass®. 

Even if an attacker is able to penetrate the glazing shields with bullets or otherwise, they cannot be easily dislodged or passed through. 

This creates a valuable delay to entry that allows employees inside your facility to react by evacuating or barricading themselves inside a safe area. It also gives security personnel, military, or police time to neutralize the threat.

Retrofit Riot Protection for Government Facilities

If the events of the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that civil unrest and rioting can happen anywhere and at any time. We’ve also seen first-hand how even the most secure government buildings, like the US Capitol, often don’t have a sufficient level of glass security.

High-security properties need a way to upgrade their glass doors and windows without doing a full replacement. That’s where Riot Glass® comes in.

Riot Glass® is designed to be retrofitted into or onto almost any existing framing system. There’s almost never any need to replace glass doors and windows and their frames, unless the building is very old and the framing has deteriorated.

Retrofitting your facility with Riot Glass® drastically increases its security in the face of rioters. Your property and its employees will stay safe the next time unexpected civil unrest flares up.

Security Glazing for Detention Centers & Correctional Facilities

Riot Glass® is also a perfect solution for detention centers and correctional facilities. Our secure detention products are ideal for containment cell windows, guard rooms, surveillance rooms, and anywhere else you need secure separation between inmates and employees.

If there’s ever a riot or a security breach within your detention center or correctional facility, Riot Glass® adds layers of protection at strategic points that keep guards and other employees safe until the situation is under control.

Unlike bars, cages, grills, and gates, Riot Glass® lets you retain full visibility and allows unobstructed natural light in. Being able to see what is going on creates an even more secure environment to keep employees and detainees safe and secure at all times.

Benefits of Riot Glass® Security Glass for Military & Government Facilities

No matter what level of Riot Glass® protection you choose for your facility, there are plenty of other benefits besides its incredible impact resistance.

All Riot Glass® looks and feels just like standard window glass, so it doesn’t change the appearance of the building, block out light, or inhibit views. Not only that, but Riot Glass® can also block out harmful UV rays and reduce glare from the sun.

REGULAR GLASS SAYS
“PLEASE DON’T COME IN”

Riot Glass® is heavily fortified glass that is becoming the new standard in glazing protection.
Building occupants need time to react, call 911, run away, or barricade in a safer place.
You are buying time, and time buys options.

Frequently Asked questions

What sizes are available?
Riot Glass® (RG) and ArmorPlast® (AP) are available in maximum sizes 72″ x 120″. If window openings exceed that size, we simply reconfigure the mullions using our AP Series support mullions specifically designed to accommodate our AP and RG Framing. RG Security Laminates (our exclusive line of security window film) is available in 72″ maximum widths at any length. 
Will it look like my existing glass?
Riot Glass®, ArmorPlast®, and RG Security Laminates all look like regular glass. Depending on the thickness, visual acuity can be slightly affected, but overall you won’t see a distinguishable difference. Yellowing is not a concern and is covered by the warranty. For added safety, all three products allow police and patrol services to see inside your property. Privacy tints are available as an option in most Riot Glass® products.
How do I clean and care for security glass?
Traditional cleaning methods work on all types of Riot Glass® security glass and laminates. All of our security glass products have a protective outer layer to avoid scratching and marring. The process is similar to caring for a new car. You put it through all kinds of paces every day, but you do so with care and attention to detail. Treat security glass the way you would the finish on a fine automobile and you’ll enjoy years of trouble-free service. Always follow the cleaning instructions that come with your Riot Glass® purchases for optimal product longevity.
What is the warranty on the glass and framing?
Warranties vary by product and can also change depending on the application. In some cases, our products carry a limited lifetime warranty, while others are protected for up to 15 years. Your security specialist will provide details on both warranty coverage and life expectancy for your specific product needs.
How do I know it will work?
All of our products have been thoroughly tested in highly accredited laboratory settings and, more importantly, in real-world situations. While there are no ironclad guarantees, every retail store, commercial building, and school needs some level of security glass protection. Security glazing products are designed to delay and deter, and in many cases are the determining factor between life and death.
What happens during a site inspection?
Our security specialists will do a complete threat assessment, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed, easy-to-read proposal. We will also measure your windows and frames, then evaluate the overall condition and retrofit adaptability to determine the best solution for your property.
Do I need to remove signage and graphics?
It depends on which product you select and where the graphics are displayed. During the site inspection, our expert security consultant will advise whether graphics must be removed and replaced or stay intact.
What is UL 752? What’s the difference between ballistic and non-ballistic ratings?
Underwriters Laboratories™ offers multiple ballistic rating levels. Designed to measure bullet resistance, ballistic ratings factor in the grain (weight), caliber, and velocity of the ammunition. Non-ballistic (containment grade) products allow bullet penetration, but won’t break down or appreciably diminish in strength. In other words, the bullets leave holes, but the panels remain intact, keeping intruders out of the building.
We had several windows broken and our store looted during a protest in downtown Los Angeles. Riot Glass provided a solution to prevent this from happening again. We still have a very open, inviting look to our store so we are happy about that.

At first, we were skeptical whether something clear would provide enough protection under the extreme conditions we experienced, but after witnessing the demonstration of the product we were convinced. Unbelievably strong!
