Board Up Fail | Riot Glass @RiotGlass

Uploaded April 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

Boarding up is temporary and not 100% effective as you can see in this unbelievable footage. Our Riot Glass ArmorPlast series acts an an invisible boardup that is always there protecting the existing glass surface. AP25 effectively shields the existing glass from breaking in many cases and prohibits unlawful entry.

$Why Glass Is the Weakest Link in Building Security | ASTM F3561, F1233, F3038 Explained When most people think about building security, they focus on locks, alarms, cameras, or guards. But in most forced entry events, the first point of failure is the same: the glass. Standard tempered and annealed storefront glazing is designed for safety, not security. Once it fractures, immediate access is created. Criminals understand this. Breaking glass is faster than defeating locks. In this video, we break down the critical difference between: • Time-delay / access denial glazing • Ballistic protection (UL 752) • Active assailant simulation testing (ASTM F3561) • Violent forced entry standards (ASTM F1233) • Organized mob assault testing (ASTM F3038) ASTM F3561 simulates ballistic assault followed by blunt-force attack to determine whether glazing remains anchored and prevents a reach-through opening. ASTM F1233 evaluates extreme manual forced entry using heavy tools. ASTM F3038 represents coordinated multi-attacker assault over sustained attack cycles. Not all ballistic glass provides meaningful forced entry resistance. Not all forced entry products are ballistic. And fragment retention film is not engineered access denial. Security glazing is not one-size-fits-all. The correct system depends on threat profile, occupancy, risk tolerance, and budget. Because when it comes to forced entry events, the real question is not whether you have glass security. It is whether that glazing buys enough time to meaningfully protect lives and property. #BuildingSecurity #SecurityGlass #ForcedEntry #AccessDenial #ASTMF3561 #ASTMF1233 #ASTMF3038 #UL752 #BallisticGlass #StorefrontSecurity #ArchitecturalSecurity #PhysicalSecurity #Glazing$
