Polycarbonate Security Glass Installation for Homes & Businesses
At Jay’s Glass, we supply and install Anti-Break Polycarbonate security panels designed to protect windows and doors from forced entry, break-ins, vandalism, and impact damage. Polycarbonate is 250x stronger than regular glass, making it one of the most effective upgrades for residential and commercial security.
Whether you need protection for a storefront, office, home entrance, or high-risk windows, we custom-manufacture polycarbonate sheets to fit your exact frame.
What Is Anti-Break Polycarbonate?
Anti-Break Polycarbonate (also called security polycarbonate or unbreakable glass) is a clear, impact-resistant material that looks like glass but performs like armor.
Key Benefits
- Shatter-resistant and virtually unbreakable
- Stops break-ins and smash-and-grab attempts
- Lightweight and crystal-clear
- UV-resistant coating to prevent yellowing
- Ideal for storefronts, doors, windows & safety enclosures
Where Polycarbonate Is Commonly Used
- Storefront windows & doors
- Residential front doors & sidelights
- Patio doors & vulnerable basement windows
- Commercial properties and retail shops
- Schools, clinics, government buildings
- High-risk locations needing forced-entry resistance
Our Polycarbonate Installation Process
We follow a secure and professional method to ensure long-lasting protection:
1. Measurement & Assessment
We take accurate measurements of the existing frame to ensure a perfect custom fit.
2. Custom Manufacturing
Your polycarbonate panel is cut to size and polished for clarity and durability.
3. Removal of Existing Glass
If replacing existing glazing, we remove the old pane safely and dispose of it.
4. Secure Installation
We install the polycarbonate using heavy-duty fasteners, gaskets, and sealants designed for impact resistance.
5. Clean Finish
We ensure the door or window operates smoothly and the installation looks clean and professional.
