Riot Glass: The Standard for Secure Glazing Systems

At Starmor, we understand that in every building, glass is both an architectural asset and a security liability. While concrete and steel form the structure, glass defines the perception — and too often, it defines the point of failure. Riot Glass® systems exist to eliminate that weakness, turning glass from a vulnerability into a true barrier of protection.

Modern security demands more than alarms and cameras. When an attack occurs, the first point of engagement is physical. Riot Glass is engineered to absorb, deflect, and delay those attacks, providing the crucial time and structural integrity needed to protect people, property, and operations.

The Rising Importance of Physical Protection

Over the past decade, property owners across every sector, from retail to education to government, have faced an undeniable reality: traditional glass reinforced with anchored security window films can no longer keep up with the increased level of threats we’re experiencing today.

Smash-and-grab burglaries now occur in seconds. Organized looting events overwhelm police response. Active shooters and rioters exploit the weakest points of entry: the windows and doors designed for transparency, not defense. Riot Glass gives you a proven, effective and easy-to-implement way to address these threats.

Riot Glass represents a shift from temporary deterrence to permanent hardening. By integrating clear, virtually unbreakable Riot Glass panels directly over existing glazing, it establishes a transparent yet formidable line of defense that resists forced entry, blunt force, and ballistic threats.

How Riot Glass Works

Unlike conventional glass or film systems, Riot Glass is a composite security glazing solution made from advanced polycarbonate materials designed to provide extraordinary impact resistance under severe attack. When struck, the material flexes and spreads energy across the panel surface rather than fracturing. The result is a clear, architectural-grade shield that maintains visibility and good looks while preventing penetration.

This system is engineered to delay forced entry for up to 60 minutes, depending on configuration, enough time for you to react, respond or repel the threat. Even repeated impacts from sledgehammers, crowbars, or firearms fail to create an opening large enough for entry.

For high-risk facilities, ballistic-rated options extend protection against specific firearm threats, up to and including AR-15 and assault weapons without requiring visible or structural compromises.

A Seamless Security Upgrade

Every Riot Glass installation begins with precision measurement and fabrication to fit your existing doors and windows. Unlike traditional retrofits, the system does not require glass removal or major remodeling. Panels are installed over existing glazing within the existing frame, a process designed to minimize disruption and deliver an immediate security benefit.

From the outside, your property looks the same. From a security standpoint, it’s a fundamentally different building.

And because the system is passive, there’s no need for electricity, unusual maintenance, or training. It performs the moment it’s installed and continues performing indefinitely.

Why Starmor Recommends Riot Glass

Our experience in securing commercial and institutional properties not only across Texas but globally, has shown one constant truth: physical protection is most effective when it’s integrated, not improvised. Riot Glass allows Starmor to deliver protection that’s both elegant and enduring.

• Where window film can slow down a blow, Riot Glass stops the attack>
• Where metal bars communicate vulnerability, Riot Glass preserves transparency and professionalism.
• Where uncertainty once existed, there is now quiet confidence — protection that’s always active, never obtrusive.

Where Riot Glass Makes a Difference

Riot Glass is trusted across sectors that cannot afford compromise:

• Retail environments requiring a clean storefront presentation
• Educational facilities seeking effective, non-obtrusive threat mitigation
• Municipal, law enforcement, and government buildings with critical access control needs
• Healthcare and corporate properties that must remain open, visible, and secure

At Starmor, we don’t simply install Riot Glass — we design complete security glazing solutions that integrate seamlessly into your broader protection strategy. Every project is evaluated for threat type, exposure, and response time to ensure the chosen configuration meets or exceeds operational requirements.

Building Confidence, Not Just Barriers

Security should feel invisible until the moment it’s needed. Riot Glass embodies that principle.
It allows property owners to maintain architectural integrity and occupant comfort while achieving a level of forced-entry resistance once reserved for high-security facilities.

Riot Glass is more than material innovation — it’s a philosophy of protection. One that recognizes that safety, aesthetics, and practicality are not competing priorities, but essential partners.
