<strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Resistant</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Doors</strong><br />
Weather Stopper <br />
The Weather Stopper <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Resistant</strong> product line is designed specially for coastal areas, <strong>and</strong> offers superior pro-<br />
tection from high velocity wind <strong>and</strong> airborne debris. Specifically engineered to guard your home from the destructive<br />
forces of a hurricane, this product has satisfied the toughest testing st<strong>and</strong>ards in the country. This remarkable product<br />
line will be on guard 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, protecting your home <strong>and</strong> providing you with peace of mind.<br />
Homes in coastal areas can encounter some extreme weather conditions.<br />
A hurricane’s destructive force can be devastating. When wind-borne debris<br />
impacts a window <strong>and</strong> the glass shatters, it allows the force of the storm to<br />
enter your home, resulting in extreme pressure being applied to the roof <strong>and</strong><br />
walls. Weather Stopper windows <strong>and</strong> patio doors have been designed <strong>and</strong><br />
tested to withst<strong>and</strong> impact from wind-borne debris <strong>and</strong> extreme wind pressure.<br />
By combining a series of specially designed, interrelated components, we've<br />
created a line of windows that will endure the elements <strong>and</strong> help protect your<br />
home. From our unique, tilt latch design, to the positive action sash locks, to<br />
our insulated glass with an impact resistant PVB interlayer, each element of these<br />
windows has been carefully selected to perform, even under the most severe conditions.
The result is a line of windows <strong>and</strong> patio<br />
doors tough enough to meet both the ASTM<br />
<strong>and</strong> Miami-Dade County testing st<strong>and</strong>ards for<br />
impact resistance. We've tested these windows<br />
under hurricane-like conditions, including<br />
driving rain, <strong>and</strong> then subjected them to<br />
pressures that are equivalent to 180 mph winds.<br />
Next, to simulate impact from wind-borne debris,<br />
each window is impacted twice with an eight foot,<br />
nine-pound 2 x 4, shot from a cannon at a speed<br />
of 34 mph. Finally, we put these windows through 9,000 cycles of<br />
positive <strong>and</strong> negative pressure to ensure that they still perform, even<br />
after sustaining the punishment of these extreme conditions.<br />
<strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Resistant</strong> Laminated Glass...<br />
Is an integral element in the<br />
performance of our Weather<br />
Stopper product line. This<br />
impact resistant glass is<br />
created by laminating two<br />
pieces of glass to a tough<br />
plastic PVB interlayer.<br />
When struck by flying<br />
debris, the interlayer remains intact, providing valuable<br />
protection for your home, while at the same time<br />
preventing damage from wind <strong>and</strong> rain.<br />

Florida Building Code Requirements<br />
Withst<strong>and</strong>ing the Storm<br />
The Silver Line Weather Stopper Product Line was engineered <strong>and</strong> built to st<strong>and</strong> up to heavy winds <strong>and</strong> rains, <strong>and</strong><br />
wind-borne debris to protect you <strong>and</strong> your home during severe weather. For most st<strong>and</strong>ard residential homes of average<br />
size <strong>and</strong> roof dimension, these windows will h<strong>and</strong>le even the worst case scenario window location.<br />
Florida Building Code Requirements<br />
There are many factors involved in determining if a<br />
window meets the appropriate codes <strong>and</strong> requirements<br />
in Florida. Our Weather Stopper windows <strong>and</strong><br />
doors have been tested <strong>and</strong> certified to meet or exceed<br />
these requirements for almost all one <strong>and</strong> two story<br />
residential homes in the state of Florida. Your local<br />
government will be able to assist you in determining<br />
what local code requirements are in your area, but the<br />
below factors will play a part in selecting the correct<br />
window for your home:<br />
• Wind Velocity (MPH): (see Figure 1) Different<br />
wind zones have different rating requirements<br />
• Importance Factor: The type of building<br />
• Exposure Category: Area where the building<br />
is located<br />
• Mean Roof Height: Average height of the<br />
highest roof<br />
• Building Width <strong>and</strong> Length: Used to determine<br />
wind load zones<br />
• Design Pressure (DP): (see Wind Zone Chart)<br />
Higher ratings indicate increased strength <strong>and</strong><br />
water infiltration resistance<br />
• Location Zone: Corner windows require higher<br />
DP ratings<br />
• Roof Slope: (see Wind Zone Chart) A higher<br />
pitch requires higher DP ratings<br />
Conditions used to determine the Wind Zone Chart:<br />
Category 1 Importance Factor, Category “B” Exposure,<br />
35’ or less Mean Roof Height, building size of<br />
40’ x 30’, window Location Zone of 4 or 5.<br />

Structural <strong>and</strong> Thermal Performance<br />
When Shopping For <strong>Windows</strong>, Look For . . .<br />
A nationally recognized authority, AAMA develops procedures for testing <strong>and</strong> certifying windows <strong>and</strong> doors for<br />
structural performance. To earn certification <strong>and</strong> a rating, products undergo rigorous physical testing at an AAMA<br />
accredited test laboratory to measure air infiltration, water leakage, resistance to forced entry <strong>and</strong> design pressure.<br />
Design Pressure (DP): Resistance to wind <strong>and</strong> other dynamic pressures. The higher the design pressure rating,<br />
the better the window or patio door.<br />
In addition, <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Resistant</strong> windows are tested to ASTM <strong>and</strong> Miami-Dade County, FL specifications for impact<br />
resistance. Tests involve laboratory simulated hurricane conditions, including debris impact, pounding rain, sustained<br />
winds of 180 mph <strong>and</strong> 9,000 negative <strong>and</strong> positive pressure cycles.<br />
®<br />
NFRC labels are an accurate, unbiased way to compare the energy efficiency of windows.<br />
Compare U-Factor: A lower U-Factor means you will stay warmer in the winter <strong>and</strong> spend less money on heating costs.<br />
Compare SHGC: The lower, the better. A lower SHGC will keep your house cooler in the summer.<br />
