In our collective decades of experience in retrofit security glazing, we were often disappointed with the options available to us for many of the unique window openings we were asked to secure. Over time, we began making our own custom solutions that adapt to the more difficult projects. Riot Glass is a reliable, cost-effective product line specifically designed to secure vulnerable entry points like glass doors and windows without sacrificing visual appeal. Riot Glass(TM) is a leading manufacturer of American-made security glass and door systems. Protecting stores, schools, and homes from threats is our business and our mission.

Additionally, ArmorPlast AR Polycarbonate Sheet offers resistance from yellowing and hazing for longer service life in high profile applications. Typical applications for ArmorPlast include school, hospital, and retail store glazing. ArmorPlast is also used extensively in correctional and psychiatric facilities. D. Also ideal for retail smash and grab burglary protection, this nonballistic (containment grade) glazing shield product allows bullet penetration but won't break down or appreciably diminish in strength. Although a glazing shield does not stop bullets, it resists cracking or shattering. Even after being riddled with bullets, it remains a barrier to entry because it cannot be easily dislodged and a would-be intruder's hand is prevented from passing through to open the door, keeping intruders out of the building. 2.2 SECURITY GLAZING A.
