DEFENSE LITE
About DefenseLite Security Glass for Windows & Doors
DefenseLite is a clear security glazing system that installs over existing window and door glass creating a layer of protection designed to ‘keep the bad guys out.’ A patented technology, the DefenseLite overglaze is 250 times stronger than glass, nearly invisible once installed and an affordable solution that works to mitigate criminal attacks.
Utilizing proprietary high-optic UV coated polycarbonate shields, vented aluminum extrusions, multi-layer thin films, tough structural adhesives, VHB tapes and security tipped anchors, DefenseLite is an engineered forced-entry solution that combines the best of materials science with an efficient retrofit installation.
How Our Patented Polycarbonate Security Glazing System Works
DefenseLite polycarbonate security panels are mounted to your existing glazing frames using a custom vented aluminum extrusion that creates stand-off from your primary window and door glass. Upon attack, the retrofit security glazing system flexes, absorbs and deflects energy away, keeping the bad guys outside! In most cases after installing our overglaze security panel, the primary window does not break, and the criminal flees the scene. DefenseLite’s patent pending vented extrusion system prevents condensation buildup by dynamically moving air throughout the glazing frames eliminating costly and unsightly moisture problems.
Anatomy of the DefenseLite System
1) Patented vented extrusion mounts to the existing glazing frame creating standoff for the polycarbonate shield from primary glass
2) “Super bond” anchoring method secures the engineered system to the existing glazing providing for unmatched flex, tensile and tear strength upon attack
3) “Unbreachable” UV capped, clear polycarbonate shield is secured to the vented extrusion with security “flex” screws and elastomeric VHB tapes
4) Customized powder-coating creates full aesthetic integration with existing glazing upon retrofit installation
