Armor Glass International Inc.

What Armor Glass International Inc. does

Armor Glass International Inc. is a privately held security window film installer headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, founded in 2007 by Michael Fjetland, a former on-air terrorism analyst. The company's core offering is an 8 Mil USA-made polycarbonate security film (Clear, Solar Tint, and Silver variants) applied to existing glass with a structural frame-bonding sealant (GE Silpruf 2000 or Dow 995) on tempered substrates. A thicker 14 Mil variant is offered for schools and other high-security buildings. The film is certified to ASTM E-1886/1996 Large Missile Impact Level C, Miami Dade PA 201/203, GSA 3b/3a Level 2, and other glazing standards, and is positioned as the same film installed on federal buildings in Washington DC after 9/11.

The business operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market: customers request free on-site inspections, sales representatives measure windows and produce quote-based pricing through an Excel program, and company crews perform installation, typically in one day. Residential installs carry a lifetime warranty, commercial installs a 12-year warranty, and no warranty claims for defective film have been recorded since 2008. Pricing is opaque (no published per-square-foot rates), and revenue is generated one project at a time, supplemented by replacement and re-installation work following glass breakage.

Armor Glass serves a diversified mix of residential homeowners, K-12 schools and districts, government facilities, healthcare providers, retail storefronts, restaurants (including 50+ Whataburger locations), financial institutions, and data centers, with primary concentration in the Texas/Gulf Coast hurricane corridor and a historical reach into federal and out-of-state projects. The company is bootstrapped, has no institutional funding, and operates with approximately five employees.

Broad incumbents

• 3M (Safety & Security Window Film): 3M offers a broad portfolio of certified security and safety window films (e.g., 3M Ultra Safety & Security) comparable in certification depth (ASTM, GSA) to Armor Glass. As a global manufacturing incumbent, 3M represents the dominant alternative in the same end-use applications (schools, government, commercial buildings).
• Hanita Coatings (Avery Dennison): Hanita Coatings, now part of Avery Dennison, manufactures a broad range of security and solar window films for architectural and automotive applications. It competes with Armor Glass in the architectural and security glazing retrofit market globally.

Direct peers

• Vista Window Film (Eastman): Vista is a premium architectural window film brand from Eastman, covering security, solar, and decorative films. Vista competes in the same school, government, and commercial retrofit channels as Armor Glass via professional installer networks.
• Madico Window Films: Madico is a long-standing manufacturer of architectural safety and security window films, including 8 mil and thicker products with blast and impact ratings. It sells primarily through certified dealer/installer networks, directly overlapping Armor Glass's installer business model.
• Saint-Gobain (Solar Gard): Saint-Gobain's Solar Gard division manufactures security and solar-control window films with comparable performance specifications. It directly competes for the same school, commercial, and government retrofit projects, often through a network of certified installers.
• Eastman Performance Films (LLumar): Eastman Chemical's LLumar brand is a leading manufacturer of architectural security window films with comparable certifications and product thickness tiers. LLumar competes head-to-head with Armor Glass's product category across schools, commercial, and government retrofits.
• Johnson Window Films: Johnson Window Films manufactures architectural security and solar films comparable to Armor Glass's 8 mil line, sold through a regional dealer network. It targets the same retrofit applications (schools, storefronts, government) in overlapping U.S. regions.
• Sunguard (SunTek / Commonwealth Laminating): SunTek (a Commonwealth Laminating & Coating brand) manufactures architectural security window films distributed through dealer networks. Its product portfolio directly overlaps Armor Glass's security and solar control categories for commercial and residential retrofits.

Emerging players

• RavenWindow: RavenWindow offers electrochromic and switchable glazing films for commercial buildings, intersecting Armor Glass's solar-control and architectural glazing retrofit use cases. It is a smaller, innovation-focused player competing for energy-efficient and security-related facade upgrades.
• C-Bond Systems: C-Bond Systems develops and sells patented nano-technology window film solutions for safety and security applications. It is a smaller, emerging competitor in the same security window film category with a particular focus on school and government buyers.
