The complete lack of bs is outstanding
I’ve lived in the same place over 30 years. My neighborhood has changed and gone downhill. I’m retired now, but in the few years before I did thieves broke into my home 4 times! They always came in through the windows, even after I put up burglar bars. I’m planning on building a retirement home and moving to a better area. I still have concerns knowing crime happens just about everywhere these days. I want to install residential security doors and hopefully AP-25 or AP-50 windows and not install burglar bars.

What city is this. And how did they get through the bars? What was the time frame between the burglaries? Did you have a home security system? Were you home during any of the attacks? Are you aware if they attacked you on foot or did they have a car? Was heavy/ large items taken? I have an extreme passion for home security. I want to start my own company one day

Excellent video. You're information is spot on. These lowlifes carry framing hammer's as a standard tool. As your aware they even break into the pharmacy drive thru windows, many offer ballistic protection. We're going to definitely share your video. You're expertise is impressive. God bless 🙏👌
Good video! Lots of helpful information with these products. Good to see that either choice doesn't require an excessive overhaul of an existing business' structure.

Thank you! I would like to have seen costs for window security film and the installation.
Wonderful video! Thank you for breaking down the differences between these two options. I'd have to say .. Riot Glass all the way!!
Great video! Very Informative.

It would be nice to see a range of possible costs of your product choices, for residential protection.
Impressive product, and good video. Is your product available for residential new construction, what about home retrofit? Thanks.
Would a combination of the film on both sides of the glass, and the AP-25 on the exterior? Should AP-25 be applied on both sides?
Good for Patio (clear)glass door-area.sss too
Can you put the on an apartment window?
Wish you 1MM views 😆🙌🏼
How much is the cost and where to get it.
Should be Tested in Oakland CA. Place is out of control.
I am a Sercurity guard and I have a big problem that maybe you can help me with. My client hired someone to install the impact resistant window film. The man didn’t cut it to fit all the way to the edge. And in some cases didn’t even cut it straight. There are bubbles all over the windows impeding our vision. The worst part is that when you put the lights on when it gets dark you can’t see out the windows. You only get a reflection of yourself when inside the gate house. Yet the people outside can see everything going on from outside the gate house. The man said today that we would have to keep the lights off permanently. They installed the film inside

@@RiotGlass Yeah, that pretty much answered my question, thanks. Really amazing product. I wonder if it can be combined with glass as kind of an insulated pane to protect it from flame attacks because it withstands impacts and cold temperatures well but looked like it melted somewhat easily because it looks like a form of plastic. maybe shrink the thickness a bit and sandwich between two tempered panes or even layer them, 5 layers total. Only problem is that gets expensive and it sounds like 1 or 2 steps away from being bulletproof at that point.

You should have a window that opens. Are you going to smash a window in a bedroom and jump out? I’m pretty sure in order to be considered a “bedroom” there has to be at least two points of entry. A door, and a window that can be opened to climb out. Otherwise I guess you don’t get out.

I'd Say oppurtunists, infiltrators and smelling a chance to loot over causes & outbreak of chaos can undermine genuine real protests.. not just US but looking though protests tactics of Hong Kong and Myanmar over these past months/year. the ones i can be approve of is Sit ins, assemblies (protest over an embassy, a restaurant without disruption), Vigils (when outrage over the deaths of victims of shootings, schools, malls,etc), Organized Marches (it was a big effort somebody must prepare to bring volunteer medics, supply & merch like water and stacks and trash bags, Person & crew who leads & negotiates to march beforehand without road traffics, ask assistance if it's similar to parades, Guides to other marchers without going over the place, Advertizers & local journalists who would make an article or vid about it.). Yet what i Don't like is the Cases of Opportunists (people who smell for using protests as distraction to the dismay of who tried to call out against or for a cause EX: protesting over the treatment of orcas & dolphins on seaworld? why the F we are burning coliseums!? and loot the nearest best buy store?), Infiltrators (far right, trolls and corrupt/undercover police who tried to pin the blame violence to the organizers)

Riot Glass is not film, but rather a formidable glazing shield that cannot be breached with standard burglary tools. Bollards should be installed in front of the windows to prevent vehicle attacks as you mention, which is becoming increasingly popular as an added layer of protection.
