Storm and Hurricane Protection

Impact Windows & Doors

When flying objects pierce windows and doors, hurricane-force winds enter the home. Internal pressure causes the roof to blow off, resulting in massive wind and water damage.

WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors pass stringent Large and Small Missile Impact Tests. In the Large Missile Impact Test, a window is subjected to two impacts by a nine-pound 2 x 4 beam traveling at a speed of 50 feet per second. Then this "impacted" window is subjected to hurricane-force winds. The polyvinyl-butyral interlayer keeps the window intact and sealed against wind even if glass is cracked by a flying object.
