Riot Glass® offers Security and Sound Control

Commercial properties face various challenges—from security threats to excessive noise pollution. Business owners, facility managers, and property developers constantly search for solutions that enhance safety, improve workplace comfort, and provide long-term value.

Riot Glass® security glazing is best known for preventing forced entry, vandalism, and even ballistic threats, but did you know it also offers exceptional sound attenuation benefits? Riot Glass provides a powerful two-in-one solution for commercial spaces struggling with noise control: superior security with the added benefit of a quieter, more productive environment.


Understanding Sound Attenuation with Riot Glass®

Sound attenuation refers to the reduction of sound transmission through a material. Riot Glass, engineered with advanced laminated and polycarbonate glazing technology, is designed to absorb and dampen noise, creating a more controlled acoustic environment. This makes it an excellent choice for commercial properties that experience excessive noise from street traffic, construction, or other disruptive sources.

Unlike traditional glass, which does little to block sound, Riot Glass’s specialized composition significantly reduces the noise that passes through windows and doors. This is particularly beneficial for businesses requiring a quieter, more private atmosphere without compromising security.

Riot Glass® provides security and sound control for commercial spaces.

Many industries can take advantage of Riot Glass’s sound attenuation properties and unmatched security performance. Here’s how it can enhance different commercial environments:

Office Buildings and Corporate Headquarters

A noisy workplace can lead to decreased productivity, increased stress, and lower employee satisfaction. Offices near busy streets or industrial areas often struggle with outside noise filtering in, disrupting meetings and daily operations.

How Riot Glass® Helps:

  • Reduces outside noise, creating a more focused and productive work environment.

  • Enhances security against break-ins and vandalism, protecting valuable office equipment and data.

  • Maintains a professional, polished aesthetic with clear, durable security glazing.

Retail Stores and Shopping Centers

Retailers must create an inviting atmosphere for customers while ensuring their storefronts remain secure. High foot traffic, outdoor events, and nearby roadways can contribute to excessive noise, making it harder for customers to enjoy their shopping experience.

How Riot Glass® Helps:

  • Minimizes disruptive noise from outside, making the store more comfortable for shoppers.

  • Protects against smash-and-grab theft, a major concern for retail businesses.

  • Enhances the store’s exterior without needing bulky security bars or unsightly reinforcements.

Hotels and Hospitality Properties

For hotels, noise pollution is one of the most common guest complaints. Whether it’s street traffic, loud music from nearby venues, or bustling city sounds, excessive noise can negatively impact guest satisfaction and reviews.

How Riot Glass® Helps:

  • Blocks external noise, allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful, restful stay.

  • Adds an extra layer of security to guest rooms, lobbies, and entryways.

  • Improves the hotel’s overall reputation by enhancing both comfort and safety.

Schools, Universities, and Libraries

Educational institutions require a quiet learning environment where students and faculty can focus without distractions. Many schools are in busy urban areas where sirens, traffic, and construction noise create ongoing disturbances.

How Riot Glass® Helps:

  • Significantly reduces noise levels in classrooms, libraries, and administrative offices.

  • Provides added security against potential break-ins or threats.

  • It helps schools meet safety and building code requirements while improving overall learning conditions.

Healthcare Facilities and Medical Offices

Hospitals and medical offices must maintain a calm, peaceful environment for patients. Noise pollution can be particularly problematic in waiting areas, patient rooms, and examination spaces, where stress levels are high.

How Riot Glass® Helps:

  • Creates a quieter, more comfortable setting for patients and healthcare professionals.

  • Adds a layer of protection against forced entry or violence in high-risk areas.

  • It helps ensure compliance with privacy standards by preventing external noise from travelling into sensitive spaces.
