How is DefenseLite Installed?
DefenseLite is installed over your existing window and door glass by certified installers. Mounted either on the exterior or interior of your current glass, DefenseLite anchors to your existing window frames creating an airspace between the primary glass and the DefenseLite clear shield. Weather sealed and engineered for removal when needed, DefenseLite is custom made for every window opening and designed to blend into the existing framing. DefenseLite is nearly invisible upon a completed installation.
What are the benefits of DefenseLite other than security?
DefenseLite can reduce street noise by up to 40% and improve energy efficiency of existing glass by over 50%. DefenseLite will defeat most attacks while protecting the primary glass from breaking. DefenseLite incorporates a proprietary sacrificial film coating on its surface that defeats graffiti tagging while protecting the shield from damage.
