DEFENSELITE®
DefenseLite® Pro is a patented retrofit security glazing system engineered for maximum forced-entry resistance, meeting ASTM F3561 Level 8 standards. Engineered with high-optic AR and UV-coated polycarbonates and proprietary aluminum extrusions, it creates a clear, impact-resistant barrier over existing doors, windows, and storefronts. Its patented venting system ensures climate adaptability for long-term system integrity and cost-effective installation. Ideal for schools, retail, and other high-risk facilities, DefenseLite® Pro protects against smash-and-grab crime, riots, and vandalism threats while preserving architectural integrity and daylighting.
Large curtain wall glass systems are vulnerable to forced entry, vandalism, and riot damage. DefenseLite® CVS is a custom-engineered, high-strength polycarbonate overlay system that reinforces curtain wall glazing while preserving energy efficiency and aesthetics. Designed for commercial and institutional buildings, it integrates seamlessly into existing structures, providing impact resistance against security threats and extreme weather events without altering the façade.
BULLETSHIELD™
Dubbed “body armor for window and door glass", BulletShield™ is a UL 752-rated ballistic security glazing retrofit system, offering cost-effective ballistic resistance for vulnerable door, window, curtainwall and storefront glass. Designed to reinforce existing glass without structural modifications, BulletShield™ is available in polycarbonate-based and glass-clad composite configurations, ensuring customizable protection up to UL Level 7 while maintaining optical clarity and daylighting.
RIOTLITE™
RiotLite™ provides enhanced forced entry resistance with an advanced multi-layer PET security film applied directly to existing glass. RiotLite’s 27 mil system is independently tested to ASTM
F3561 Level 3. It can strengthen storefronts, windows, and doors, mitigating risks from riots, looting, active shooter, and smash-and-grab incidents. With a nearly invisible profile, RiotLite™
preserves natural light and aesthetics while offering fragment-resistant security - a cost-effective solution for discreet yet powerful forced entry protection.
ACCESS SHIELD™
AccessShield™ is a high-performance door re-glazing system that fortifies commercial entryways against forced entry and ballistic threats. Using a patented dynamic extrusion system, it retrofits into most standard door lite openings, accommodating polycarbonate or glass-clad shields from 0.25” to 1.25” thickness. Ideal for retail, office, and public spaces, AccessShield™ enhances security without affecting accessibility or architectural design.
