Riot Ready installs security window film and Riot Glass® for retail storefronts across Western Washington. Smash-and-grab theft is one of the fastest-growing property crimes in the region — standard storefront glass provides almost no resistance. We change that.
Smash-and-grab theft has evolved significantly over the past several years. What was once opportunistic — a rock through a window — is increasingly organized, with crews using heavy tools like sledgehammers and crowbars to rapidly breach storefront glass, grab high-value merchandise, and leave in under 60 seconds.
Standard storefront glass — even newer double-pane systems — provides almost no resistance to these attacks. Security window film and Riot Glass® are specifically engineered for this threat. Film holds shattered glass together, slowing entry dramatically. Riot Glass® goes further — it’s designed to deny or substantially delay entry even under sustained heavy-tool attack.
For most Western Washington retailers, security film is the fastest and most affordable starting point. For jewelry stores, electronics retailers, and other high-value targets, Riot Glass® is the stronger recommendation.
Not every retail storefront carries the same risk or has the same budget. Riot Ready assesses your specific location, inventory value, and threat history to recommend the most effective protection level for your situation.
Riot Ready works with retail businesses of all types and sizes across Western Washington.
Jewelry stores are the highest-priority smash-and-grab target in any retail corridor. Riot Glass® is the standard recommendation for jewelry storefronts — it is designed to deny entry under the sustained heavy-tool attacks that jewelry store thieves use. Film alone is not adequate for high-value jewelry retail.
Electronics — phones, laptops, gaming systems — are among the most commonly targeted inventory in smash-and-grab attacks. Security film or Riot Glass® on display windows and entry glass significantly raises the effort required to breach the storefront and grab merchandise.
Pharmacies face both smash-and-grab theft and armed robbery threats. Riot Ready installs security film on exterior windows and Riot Glass® or bullet-resistant glazing at prescription counter and transaction windows — providing protection appropriate to the full threat profile of pharmacy retail.
Liquor and cannabis retail are frequently targeted for after-hours break-ins. Security window film and Riot Glass® on storefront glass and entry doors significantly delay forced entry and in many cases deter the attempt entirely.
High-traffic, late-night convenience store locations face elevated break-in risk. Security film is a fast, affordable way to harden storefront glass at locations that may not have the budget for Riot Glass® — providing meaningful deterrence against opportunistic attacks.
Dealership showrooms have large glass walls and high-value inventory on the floor. Riot Glass® on showroom glass provides the strongest available protection against the sustained heavy-tool attacks that dealership thieves use to breach large glass panels.
Security film significantly slows a smash-and-grab attack by holding glass together when broken, preventing an attacker from quickly creating an opening large enough to enter or reach merchandise. Most opportunistic smash-and-grab criminals move on within seconds if a window doesn’t give way immediately. Film is highly effective against opportunistic attacks. For organized crews with heavy tools, Riot Glass® provides substantially stronger protection.
For most storefronts, we can schedule an assessment within a few days and complete installation the same day we arrive. The installation process is non-disruptive — your business stays open and we work around your hours. Call 425-400-7773 for urgent requests.
No. Security window film is completely optically clear and does not change the appearance of your storefront glass. Riot Glass® uses a low-profile aluminum framing adapter that is designed to be architecturally neutral. Your storefront will look exactly the same after installation.
Riot Glass® forced-entry resistant glazing is the standard recommendation for jewelry storefronts. Jewelry store thieves use heavy tools and are willing to sustain a prolonged attack — security film alone is not adequate for most jewelry retail applications. Riot Glass® is designed to deny entry under exactly this type of attack.
Security film for a typical small retail storefront typically ranges from several hundred to a couple thousand dollars. Riot Glass® systems vary more widely based on the number of openings and frame type. Contact us for a free storefront assessment and specific quote for your location.
