Riot Glass is an upscale and modern security glazing system that can retrofit to prevent forced entry, vandalism, and window breakage. It is not a mere ordinary window film, but rather a transparent protection of polycarbonate or laminated safety glass that you apply over your pre-existing glass.
Being a scientific marvel, the advanced product resists blunt force strikes from bats, crowbars, or even rocks. Though it’s not 100% unbreakable, designers create Riot Glass to buy the time of the intruder so long as the break-in is aborted or assistance could come.
Riot Glass is not like normal glass that would shatter immediately upon impact. Rather, it bends and absorbs the energy thereby taking the hits one after the other without breaking, which is a very important feature in the areas of business, schools, and residences where an extra layer of protection is desirable.

- For constructing strength laminated glass or acrylic.
- To absorb and widely spread impact energy polycarbonate interlayers.
- So that even when the glass is hit it is firmly held in place by specialized framing systems.
