Patti Murphy of M3 Office Furnishings was kind enough to sit down with us to share her experience working with Riot Glass, Inc. We replaced the most vulnerable windows with our RG9 series security glass.

Designed to prevent an armed assailant from getting into a building, Riot Glass is 5 times stronger and 100 times stiffer than normal laminated security glass. Available in varying thicknesses and strengths, both in single and double pane configurations.

Riot Glass is custom made to fit into your existing frames, eliminating the need and costly expense of replacing framing. The process requires minimal down time and is a cleaner, simpler installation than a complete window replacement where drywall, stucco and wood repairs are often required.

The objective: Keep the buy guy out of the building.
Riot Glass does not stop bullets. We have our ArmorPlast panels for that. Riot Glass is designed to significantly slow down an intruder by providing a formidable barrier to entry.

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