The only authorized dealer of DefenseLite Security Shield in Portland

Pacific Window Tinting is proud to be the only authorized dealer of the DefenseLite Security Shield in the Portland area. During times of turmoil in the Rose City, we’re happy to provide an extra layer of defense for your store, shop, office, or other building in the downtown and surrounding areas.

While we also offer other graffiti and defensive window films that help protect your windows, the DefenseLite window security guard makes it that much harder for protestors, thieves, and vandals to destroy your windows. Instead of replacing windows every time there’s unrest in the city, they’ll remain relatively unscathed with this security system.

What is DefenseLite Security Shield?

In Portland, we’re experiencing a lot of broken glass over the past two years. For an office building with five, 10, or even more windows, constant replacements can cause a real dent in the bottom line. For a smaller business, replacing a window or two every month can be crippling.

With DefenseLite, a simple brick or swing of a bat or crowbar won’t be enough to break through, much less get to your windows. The shield is actually installed an inch or two in front of the window, into the existing frame, so it takes all of the punishment.

And it’s designed to take as much punishment as someone can give it. Built with durable polycarbonate material and vented for flexibility, it can take up to 40 minutes before someone actually breaks through the DefenseLite guard. Usually, vandalism like smashing a window is an “in-the-moment” crime–in most cases, the perp will move on after a few minutes.

Security for your customers, workers

Depending on your business, you could be working during those evening or night hours when damage to your windows is most likely to occur. Believe us, it can be quite jarring to be working or doing business with customers and suddenly have to deal with flying glass.

DefenseLite can’t protect you from the unsettling feeling you get when someone is trying to break your windows, but it will protect you from anyone trying to break in. That’s a huge comfort for your employers and the people that are buying your goods or services.

For more information about DefenseLite and how it can protect your business, reach out to Pacific Window Tinting. In addition to security window shields, we also offer window tinting and other security films to protect your business even more. We look forward to hearing from you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DefenseLite Security Shield?
DefenseLite is a clear polycarbonate shield installed over existing windows to create an invisible barrier against forced entry, vandalism, and impact. It absorbs blows from bricks, bats, and crowbars—protecting your original glass from breaking and your business from costly repairs or closures.

How strong is the DefenseLite system?
Extremely strong. The vented polycarbonate panels are engineered to flex under pressure, withstanding up to 40 minutes of continuous impact before failure. That’s far beyond the few seconds typical vandals spend trying to smash a window, making DefenseLite an effective deterrent during civil unrest or attempted break-ins.

Does DefenseLite make my windows look different?
No. The system is virtually invisible once installed. The clear shield is mounted one to two inches in front of your existing glass within the same frame, maintaining your building’s natural light and curb appeal while dramatically increasing protection.

Where can DefenseLite be installed?
DefenseLite can be custom-fit to nearly any glass surface—storefronts, office windows, government buildings, schools, or warehouses. Pacific Window Tinting designs each installation to match the exact specifications of your window frames, ensuring seamless coverage and maximum strength.

How does DefenseLite compare to regular security window film?
Security film reinforces the glass itself, but DefenseLite takes protection a step further by acting as an independent shield system in front of the glass. Together, they create a layered defense that absorbs and deflects impact—ideal for businesses in high-risk or high-traffic areas seeking top-tier protection.

We used Pacific Window tinting for both a tint and a security film on two buildings. They came out and had us a quote very quickly and when we were ready to move forward they got us scheduled very quickly. The team that came out was wonderful to work with. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Overall we are very happy with our experience and will use them again if needed. I highly recommend them.

For over a year we had been deciding what to do with some of our upper level windows. We get a strong sunset that can be blinding for about half of the year. We reached out to Jared and his team at Pacific Window Tinting, he provided us with several samples and assessed our need as well as our budget, he made a couple of recommendations to meet our needs. He delivered an excellent product, in a short period of time at great prices while ensuring excellent customer service. We are finally able to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the architecture. Highly recommended.

Our waiting room at our clinic was much hotter than the rest of our clinic so we consulted with the owner, he gave some great suggestions and in a week or so we had the front windows and doors tinted, took a few hours, now it is much cooler! My front desk staff does not feel hot nor do patients in my waiting room. Thank you!
