Forced-Entry & Ballistic-Rated Security Glazing That Strengthens Vulnerable Glass Without a Full Replacement
Most security incidents don’t start at the lock — they start at the glass. Storefronts, lobbies, glass doors, sidelites, and ground-floor windows are common points of attack for smash-and-grab theft, vandalism, and forced entry. Houston Solar & Security Film is proud to offer Riot Glass as a strategic security upgrade for commercial properties that need stronger protection at the perimeter.
Riot Glass is a manufacturer of retrofit security glazing systems designed to add a significant level of forced-entry and/or ballistic protection to existing windows and glass door systems using patented framing and security infills.
What Riot Glass is
Riot Glass systems are typically installed as a glazing shield that can be mounted over or integrated into many existing openings, creating a hardened barrier at the glass. Riot Glass describes this as a way to retrofit protection onto existing doors and windows, including solutions that can be overglazed on top of existing glass to improve forced-entry and ballistic performance.
A key advantage is optical clarity with impact resistance. Riot Glass’s ArmorPlast AP Series highlights high optical clarity and shatter resistance so visibility can be maintained even during a severe attack.
Protection Levels &
Ratings
iot Glass states its forced-entry and ballistic glazing shields are rated by UL (Underwriters Laboratories), ranging from containment-grade (non-ballistic) options up through higher ballistic ratings (project-dependent).
For example, Riot Glass describes specific ArmorPlast ballistic products that meet UL ballistic standards (such as UL 752 Level 2 for certain configurations).
Best-Fit Use Cases
Riot Glass is often specified where glass exposure is high and risk tolerance is low:
Retail storefronts with high-value inventory, shopping centers, banks, office lobbies, healthcare facilities, municipal buildings, government sites, schools, and places of worship. Riot Glass’s own “who we serve” content specifically calls out active threat protection for religious facilities and describes retrofittable glazing shields for existing doors and windows.
