Protect Historic Courthouses with GSA Approved Security Glass

Courthouses and other government facilities are some of the most secure out there, but they’re only as strong as their glass doors and windows. Without the appropriate security glazing, intruders, burglars, and rioters can easily smash through glass to gain entry to a facility. But how can you meet these high standards of security when many security measures aren’t conducive to modifications?

That’s where the Riot Glass® J-Series comes in.

The J Series security glazing, also referred to as our Compression Framing System, can be made with our patented compression technology for mounting into historic structures without drilling or other permanent damage to the building’s original materials. It can be removed later with no signs of installation.

The J Series also meets ASTM F 3038 forced entry testing for 15 minutes. It is only required when existing framing conditions are not conducive to retrofit, like historic courthouses. It can be manufactured as a standalone product or as a foundation for our ArmorPlast Gen II framing when required to provide a smooth, stable mounting surface.
