DefenseLite transforms windows and doors into impenetrable openings that are 250 times stronger than glass alone. DefenseLite is not an applied security film, but rather a heavy gauge architectural grade polycarbonate and extruded framing system designed to \u2018keep the bad guys out\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-cce8416a gb-headline-text\">DefenseLite vs. Security Film<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-bd7eaa81\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-7ffb11af\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7ffb11af\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/defenselite-baton-hatchet.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-14dd1471\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-14dd1471\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DefenseLite-vs-Security-Film.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Engineered using unbreakable UV coated polycarbonates and proprietary anchoring mechanisms, DefenseLite protects schools, storefronts and buildings of all types from unwanted entry. DefenseLite seamlessly blends into the existing glazing adding a constantly deployed, invisible layer of protection without moving parts or creating an undesirable fortress like visual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DefenseLite has been independently tested with many different blunt force objects ranging from batons, hammers and hatchets with amazing results.&nbsp; DefenseLite is not a window film treatment at all and outperforms applied safety and ballistic film solutions exponentially.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most security window films can delay entry for 30-45 seconds, DefenseLite is designed to stop vandals, smash and grab threats and forced entry attempts dead in their tracks. For retailers and storefronts, DefenseLite can protect your inventory against criminal trespass. For schools, educational institutions, and government facilities, DefenseLite can stop and deter intruders, protecting the people inside from harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DefenseLite is also almost entirely invisible to the eye once installed, making it a transparent solution for retrofit door and window protection. Not only does DefenseLite outperform laminated glass and security window film treatments, but it\u2019s also more affordable than unsightly grills and other conventional glass protection measures with less life-time warranty and service costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in learning more about DefenseLite?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/contact\/\">Contact us online<\/a>&nbsp;or call us at 1-866-933-3456.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-f91e8f1e gb-headline-text\">Anatomy of the DefenseLite\u2122 System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proprietary DefenseLite extrusion attaches to the existing frame and separates clear shield from primary glass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Unbreakable\u2019 clear shield is affixed to the DefenseLite extrusion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DefenseLite \u2018Super Bond\u2019 secures the systems to the existing glazing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customized edge banding and powder coating makes system virtually invisible upon installation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6dc46954\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-c469a1ec\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-81997fd7\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-81997fd7\">\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DefenseLite-Product-Sheet.pdf\">View DefenseLite Spec Sheet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DefenseLite-Security-Glazing-Brochure.pdf\">View DefenseLite Product Brochure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcat.com\/arcatcos\/cos52\/arc52521.html\">View DefenseLite ARCAT Specs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcat.com\/product\/defenselite-pro-dlp-199755\">View DefenseLite Pro ARCAT Specs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Notes: Each DefenseLite system is custom fabricated based on existing glazing conditions and installed by certified installers.&nbsp;<\/em><br><em>Systems may utilize exotic plastics, polycarbonates and glass-clad shields depending on threat conditions and budgets.<\/em><br><em>All-weather adhesives, high-performance films, mechanical anchors and other materials may be used.<\/em><br><em>DefenseLite installs on the exterior or interior of existing windows and doors.<\/em><br><em>DefenseLite systems have been independently tested to meet forced entry and UL752 ballistic standards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-121e1a95\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-121e1a95\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"563\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-44.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5777\" style=\"width:229px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-44.png 563w, https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-44-209x300.png 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DefenseLite\u2122 is a patented retrofit glazing system that reinforces existing windows and doors with heavy-duty polycarbonate shielding.
