Protection
Hurricane Andrew, which caused such massive damage to Florida in 1992, taught researchers that violent winds alone are not the major cause of window breakage. The real cause is flying objects. As a result, codes for hurricane protection now focus on impact protection for windows and doors, not just wind velocity. ENERGY STORMSAVER windows and doors provide state-of-the-art impact protection. They combine steel reinforced vinyl frames with SGP laminated glass. A special silicone glazing process helps keep the glass from breaking away from the frame. Although the glass may crack on impact, the interlayer helps the glass remain intact, not allowing destructive wind into the home.
Energy
Our high-performance glass, which features Solar Max and argon gas, reduces solar heat gain, increases comfort and helps you better manage energy costs. By filtering out over 90% of UV rays, ENERGY STORMSAVER helps shield your furniture, carpet, artwork and drapes from the effects of fading caused by the sun.
Security
Windows are the easiest point of entry for thieves. Yet ENERGY STORMSAVER windows and doors provide a barrier to smash and grab attempts and flying debris. Their superior strength far surpasses maximum UL test standards. Even a five-pound steel ball dropped from a height of 40 feet, or a 16-pound bowling ball from 10 feet, won’t penetrate.
Sound
The laminated glass in ENERGY STORMSAVER windows and doors absorbs sound rather than transmitting it, which helps to keep the world and its disruptions outside where they belong.
