Single-Hung Windows Available in Fin and Flange Construction
Horizontal Rolling Windows in Fin and Flange Construction
In independent testing, these impact-resistant windows were impacted with a 9 foot long 2 x 4 weighing 9 pounds that was fired at the window by an air cannon at speeds of 50 feet per second. After impact, windows were buffeted by combined positive and negative pressure simulating hurricane force winds. During the 5-hour testing period the impact-resistant glass remained in the window frame and was not breached. The window continued to function operationally after the testing was completed.
Impact-Resistant Glass Construction
Impact-Resistant Windows feature
a 5/16" thick laminated safety glass
to resist impact. The lite is constructed
of two, 1/8" thick annealed glass panels
laminated with an interlayer membrane. The
interlayer membrane becomes transparent
during the laminating process and forms
a 5/16" thick panel. This unique laminated
glass system creates an impact-resistant
barrier and delivers outstanding thermal
efficiency.
