Hurricane Technology
The science behind our impact-resistant products
Laminated Glass Explained
Our impact glass uses multiple layers of glass bonded with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. When impacted, the glass cracks but the interlayer holds it together — no shattering, no penetration. This same technology is used in automobile windshields.
Impact Resistance Testing
All our products undergo rigorous Miami-Dade County NOA (Notice of Acceptance) testing. This includes large missile impact (2x4 lumber at 50 mph) and cyclic pressure tests simulating sustained hurricane forces.
Impact vs. Regular Windows
