DefenseLite addresses every building's most vulnerable area - glass windows and doors.
Where other solutions fall short...
- Untreated: glass can be instantly breached with a simple metal punch
- Security Window Film: even properly installed, only delays entry for 30-45 seconds
Laminated glass: breaks upon impact; expensive to install/service
- Roll-down grills and deployable gates: look terrible; expensive and costly to service over time, and only work when deployed
DefenseLite performs
- Outperforms security window film and laminated glass
- Less costly than unsightly grills and gates
- 250 times stronger than glass alone
- Provides 24/7 invisible glass protection with no moving parts
- Installs quickly and has an impressive warranty
DefenseLite is a custom solution
Each DefenseLite system is custom fabricated, based on:
- Existing glazing conditions
- Potential threats
- Customer preferences/desired budgets.
System components include:
- Use of exotic plastics, polycarbonates and glass-clad shields
- Installation with all-weather adhesives, high-performance films and mechanical anchors
- Interior and/or exterior installation, depending on existing conditions
