Riot Ready is an authorized Riot Glass® installer serving 25+ cities across Western Washington. Riot Glass® is a retrofit security glazing system designed to deny or substantially delay forced entry — dramatically stronger than security film alone, installed over existing windows without replacing frames.
Riot Glass® is a proprietary line of security glazing systems manufactured by Riot Glass LLC and installed by authorized dealers like Riot Ready. It is the most robust retrofit window security solution on the market — designed not just to slow forced entry, but to deny it entirely under most real-world attack scenarios.
Unlike security window film, which is applied to existing glass, Riot Glass® is a complete glazing system. It installs using a low-profile aluminum framing adapter that mounts directly onto your existing window frames — no glass replacement, no structural renovation. The Riot Glass® panel sits in front of or in place of your existing glass, creating a barrier that withstands sustained heavy-tool attacks, impacts, and in ballistic grades, gunfire.
Riot Ready is an authorized Riot Glass® installer serving the greater Seattle area, Snohomish County, King County, Pierce County, and all of Western Washington. We assess every property individually, recommend the appropriate grade, and manage the full installation from start to finish.
Security window film is a deterrent — it raises the effort required to breach a window and buys time. Riot Glass® is a barrier — it is specifically engineered to deny or substantially delay entry even under sustained attack with heavy tools, crowbars, and repeated strikes.
In real-world smash-and-grab and forced-entry scenarios, Riot Glass® has stopped attacks that would have defeated any film-based system. It's the reason high-risk applications — jewelry stores, pharmacies, financial institutions, schools — require Riot Glass®, not film.
Riot Glass® is available in multiple protection grades. Riot Ready assesses your property and recommends the appropriate grade for your threat level and budget.
The baseline Riot Glass® protection level — designed to deny or substantially delay forced entry under sustained attack with common tools. Dramatically stronger than security film. Appropriate for most retail, commercial, church, and residential applications where smash-and-grab and break-in protection is the primary concern.
Riot Glass® ballistic-grade systems provide both forced-entry resistance and protection against ballistic threats. Available in multiple UL 752 ballistic ratings. Required for financial institutions, government facilities, healthcare facilities with active-threat assessments, and schools investing in hardened perimeter protection.
Riot Glass® is the right choice when security film isn't enough — higher-value inventory, higher-risk locations, repeat break-in targets, or facilities that need ballistic protection.
Jewelry stores, luxury goods retailers, and electronics dealers are among the most frequently targeted businesses in Western Washington. Riot Glass® is specifically engineered for this environment — it withstands the kind of sustained heavy-tool attacks that defeat security film in seconds.
Pharmacies, banks, credit unions, and check cashing businesses face elevated threat profiles. Riot Glass® forced-entry and ballistic-grade systems provide the level of protection these facilities require — deterring attack and providing rated ballistic protection where needed.
Active shooter and forced-entry threats at schools require a glazing solution that can delay entry long enough for first responders to arrive. Riot Glass® forced-entry and ballistic systems harden school perimeters, doors, and sidelight glass — providing time when it matters most.
Government buildings, courthouses, transit facilities, and public offices require security glazing that meets elevated performance standards. Riot Glass® is rated to recognized security standards and appropriate for government and institutional applications across Western Washington.
If your business has been broken into before, security film may not be enough to stop the next attempt. Riot Glass® is specifically designed for properties that have been targeted — providing a level of protection that makes repeat attacks significantly less likely to succeed.
For high-value homes in Sammamish, Bellevue, Medina, Woodinville, and other affluent Western Washington communities where the threat profile warrants maximum protection, Riot Glass® forced-entry systems provide the strongest available retrofit residential security glazing.
Riot Ready manages the complete installation process — from initial assessment through final inspection. Most commercial installations are complete in one to three days.
We evaluate your property's specific vulnerabilities — frame types, glass sizes, threat exposure, and access points. We identify which openings need protection and recommend the appropriate Riot Glass® grade.
We provide a detailed quote including product specification, grade, and installation timeline. We help you choose the right protection level for your budget and threat profile — no overselling.
Riot Glass® panels are installed using low-profile aluminum framing adapters mounted directly to your existing window frames. Most installations require no structural modification and minimal disruption to operations.
We inspect every opening for proper fit, seal, and performance. We walk you through what was installed, answer questions, and provide documentation for insurance and warranty purposes.

Riot Glass® is a retrofit security glazing system manufactured by Riot Glass LLC.

Riot Glass® panels are engineered to deny or substantially delay forced entry under sustained attack, providing dramatically stronger protection than security film or standard glass.
Yes. Riot Ready is a trained, authorized Riot Glass® dealer and installer serving Western Washington. We are certified to install the full range of Riot Glass® forced-entry and ballistic-grade glazing systems.
No. Riot Glass® is a retrofit system designed to install over existing windows using a low-profile aluminum framing adapter. In most cases, your existing glass and frames do not need to be replaced — the Riot Glass® panel mounts onto the existing framing, adding the protection layer on top. This makes it significantly faster and more affordable than full window replacement.
Cost depends on the number of openings, glass size, frame type, and protection grade (forced-entry vs. ballistic). Riot Glass® systems are more expensive than security film but provide substantially stronger protection. Riot Ready provides free on-site assessments and quotes — contact us for pricing specific to your Western Washington property.
Security film is a laminate applied to existing glass that holds it together when broken, slowing entry. Riot Glass® is a complete glazing system that installs in front of or in place of existing glass — it is designed to deny or substantially delay entry entirely, even under sustained heavy-tool attack. Film is the more affordable starting point; Riot Glass® is for applications where maximum protection is required.
Most commercial Riot Glass® installations are completed in one to three days depending on the number of openings and scope of work. We work around your business hours and minimize disruption to operations. A site assessment is required before scheduling to accurately estimate the installation timeline.
Riot Glass® is primarily designed for commercial and institutional buildings with aluminum or steel framing. It is compatible with aluminum-framed residential windows but may not be compatible with vinyl frames commonly found in residential construction. For most residential applications, we recommend security film or a consultation to assess frame compatibility.
Riot Glass® uses a low-profile aluminum framing adapter that is designed to be architecturally clean and neutral. It does not add the visual bulk of traditional security bars, gates, or shutters. The Riot Glass® panel is clear and maintains full visibility and natural light. For most properties, the change in appearance is minimal.
