About hurricane glass
About hurricane glass
Coastal areas of North America have begun adopting codes to help prevent catastrophic building failure during hurricane conditions. Initial requirements enacted in Dade County, Florida, have been used as a model for areas like Texas, the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Seaboard. Codes vary regionally, so architects are encouraged to research local codes when starting new projects.
Guardian laminated glass can be used to withstand high winds, penetration from flying debris and weather-related impact. In the event of an impact, this glass tends to retain in in the window frame, which may reduce the risk of injury and structural damage.
