ArmorDefend™ and ArmorDefend™ Plus forced-entry resistant storefront systems are designed to delay entry for a variety of applications, including schools, retail and healthcare settings. Two levels of performance allow flexibility to meet requirements and budgets.

Designed with ArmorGarde™  laminated glass and ArmorDefend™ Entrances, the system works together to deliver the confidence you need to secure what matters most.

To ensure resistance to forced entry, independent, certified labs test our glass and glazing systems together using  industry-recognized standards – so you can have confidence in the products you specify.

ASTM E2395 – Tests glazing and frame resistance
We use heavier, higher-velocity missiles per ASTM E1996 – the Elevated Missile Impact portion of ASTM E2395.
