Every year, summer signals the arrival of hurricane season across the Southeast and East Coast. Unpredictable and destructive, these weather systems can wreak havoc on homes and buildings in a matter of hours, as well as lead to emotional trauma for residents.
JELD-WEN’s Siteline wood windows are available with ImpactGard glass. These windows are designed to provide up to Wind Zone 3-level protection (up to 130 mph), from windborne debris impacts during hurricanes common from Texas and the Gulf Coast, all the way north to New England. Coupled with the companys proprietary AuraLast wood.
ImpactGard glass features laminated glass technology with the glazing on the outside of the window so that, in the event of breakage, most of the broken glass adheres to the protective inner layer or falls to the outside of the home.
One unobtrusive, small clip on each side of the rail enables the use of ImpactGard glass, which takes the brute force of storms and diffuses it into the frame and wall.
JELD-WEN offers windows and patio doors with ImpactGard glass and other options designed to meet a variety of building codes, features, budgets and warranty considerations. JELD-WEN windows with ImpactGard glass are available throughout the Eastern Seaboard and along the Gulf Coast in the United States and come with a warranty.
