Retail Storefront Security Glazing

Summary

Retail storefronts require glazing solutions that protect against vandalism and burglary without compromising visibility or brand identity. Hammerglass Add-On systems provide an external security barrier that integrates with existing façades while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Project Overview

This project demonstrates how Hammerglass Add-On security glazing can protect a retail storefront against vandalism and forced entry while preserving the building’s original design. Installed externally on storefront windows and the entrance door, the system provides an additional layer of security without replacing the existing glazing.

ProtectAll supplies and fabricates Hammerglass security glazing systems for retail, commercial, and institutional projects across North America, delivering custom solutions that integrate with existing buildings and new construction alike.

The Challenge

Retail storefronts are frequent targets for vandalism, smash-and-grab theft, and attempted break-ins. Business owners need security solutions that strengthen vulnerable glazing without creating an institutional appearance or reducing visibility into the store.

Any protective system must complement the building’s architecture while supporting long-term durability and day-to-day business operations.

The Solution

Hammerglass Add-On System S was installed externally over the existing storefront glazing and entrance door, creating a discreet yet highly durable protective barrier. Because the system is mounted on the outside of the building, it can often be integrated without replacing the original windows.

The aluminum mounting profiles can be finished in a wide range of RAL and NCS colours, allowing the security glazing to match the building’s architectural style and corporate branding. Optional cover profiles conceal the security fasteners, creating a cleaner, more integrated façade.

ProtectAll provides custom fabrication and supply of Hammerglass Add-On glazing systems for similar retail, commercial, and public-sector applications throughout North America.
