New York’s Riot Glass Dealer
Until recently, effective building security solutions were often too costly. Intruders can easily bypass security window films and standard glass, while bars, gates, and shutters detract from aesthetics and require daily operation.
Riot Glass® offers a nearly invisible, highly durable solution that blends seamlessly with existing windows, doors, or storefronts. It outperforms competitors in strength and durability, is easily retrofitted to reduce costs, and meets high security standards while maintaining an open, inviting appearance.
Why Riot Glass
Riot Glass LLC manufactures retrofit security glazing systems for enhanced forced-entry and ballistic protection. Our patented framing and glass infills install onto existing windows and doors, offering extreme durability against threats and natural forces.
How It Works
Riot Glass systems withstand severe impacts from tools like sledgehammers and hurricane-force debris, and gun shoots, thanks to specially engineered frames that absorb and dissipate energy. Rigorous testing has proven their reliability in protecting against forced entry.
Unique Features
• Security Infills: Our ArmorPlast® panels, made from a polycarbonate and acrylic blend, are more durable, clear, and color-stable than standard polycarbonates, thanks to our high-quality materials and manufacturing process.
• Framing Systems: Riot Glass uses strong, minimal-sightline frames with tamper-resistant fasteners, ensuring refined aesthetics and easy repairs by authorized dealers.
24/7 Protection
Known as an “invisible board-up,” Riot Glass provides constant protection without affecting the building’s appearance. Unlike traditional board-ups, it’s a one-time installation that remains in place, saving storage space and long-term costs.
Engineered for Reliability
Designed for varying climates, our systems allow for thermal expansion and condensation control to prevent distortion. The flexible aluminum frames withstand prolonged attacks without breaking, even on arched or circular windows.
Customization and Durability
Riot Glass offers clear and bronze anodized frames, along with tinting options for added privacy. ArmorPlast® panels feature a UV-resistant coating, ensuring longevity and clarity, while also providing high-level ballistic and forced-entry protection.
Ballistic and Active Threat Defense
Our panels come in different thicknesses to address specific threat levels, from forced entry to ballistic resistance. Even under attack, the panels stay intact, ideal for schools and budget-conscious institutions.
Professional Installation
At Right Path Windows and Doors we ensure expert installation for maximum security. Riot Glass products come with comprehensive warranties for both materials and labor, guaranteeing quality and customer satisfaction.
PRODUCTS
ARMORPLAST® (AP-SERIES)
Forced entry and ballistic security protection. Our virtually unbreakable retrofit solutions stop crimes before they happen. Would-be intruders are usually deterred very quickly when the glass does not break. Many ArmorPlast® retrofit solutions do not require removing your existing glass. AP375 is our flagship forced entry product. This virtually invisible glazing shield prevents forced entry by being mounted in front of existing windows and glass doors. This system works like an invisible board-up that is always there, 24/7, protecting your property. In many attacks, the glass remains unbroken, and there is no need for an emergency board-up service. Our AP Series engineered polycarbonates come in two (2) forced-entry grades (AP25, AP375) and five (5) ballistic grades for .38 special and UL752 Level 1, 2, 3, and 6 protection.
J SERIES | SUBFRAMING
Riot Glass® J Series sub-framing is available in ballistic and forced entry grades and designed to provide a smooth, even surface for mounting our secondary glazing systems.
Also referred to as our Compression Framing System, the J Series can be made with our patented compression technology for mounting into historic structures without drilling or other permanent damage to the building’s original materials. It can be removed at a later date with no signs of having been installed. The J Series is custom-made to the dimensions of each individual window opening. Acting as an exoskeleton, the J Series provides a suitable structure to which we can attach our AP and RG Series retrofitted systems.
The J Series meets ASTM F 3038 forced entry testing for 15 minutes. It is only required when existing framing conditions are not conducive to retrofit. Examples may include damaged or uneven existing framing, buildings with historic significance, or other limiting factors. Learn more about our ASTM F 3038 test results here.
The J Series can be manufactured as a standalone product or as a foundation for our ArmorPlast Gen II framing when required to provide a smooth, stable mounting surface.

A building’s glass doors and windows are often its weakest points. Most commercial glass, like tempered safety glass, isn’t designed for security and leaves facilities vulnerable to forced entry, theft, and storm damage. While cameras, alarms, and guards offer some protection, they don’t create a physical barrier. To secure glass doors and windows, installing security glazing, like Riot Glass®, is essential. Riot Glass® Security Solutions. Riot Glass® provides durable security glazing that protects against forced entry, vandalism, and weather damage. Unlike standard glass, Riot Glass® resists repeated impacts, staying intact even under extreme conditions, making it ideal for offices, schools, and retail stores.
Retrofit Installation
Riot Glass® can be retrofitted onto almost any existing frame, offering affordable and effective protection without replacing current glass.
Riot Glass® vs. Tempered Glas
