Something less likely to be broken for security purposes. There's been multiple break-ins in my neighborhood & the primary point of entry in many of these is smashing the glass on back doors & opening the doors. So I'm looking to replace my current glass with something that gives the appearance of glass (transparent, blocks UV, durable, easy to clean) but won't be able to be broken with a rock or anything in general.
