Our proprietary, custom-made reinforcements and hardware systems allow us to offer premium Impact and hurricane performance at a very reasonable price. • Showcase products have been tested all along the Gulf Coast, against some of the toughest hurricanes the United States has ever seen. Our products have passed with flying colors, withstanding the likes of Hurricanes Harvey, Katrina, Rita, Ike and others. Laminated Glass Technology Our laminated glass consists of an- nealed, heat-strengthened or tempered glass with one or more transparent, high-strength interlayers bonded to- gether to create a stronger, sturdier glass unit. Whether you want your laminated glass to meet hurricane codes, provide home security, or reduce noise, we offer a product to meet your requirements, delivering a level of security and serenity that can’t be realized with ordinary glass.

Earthwise143 Impact Windows ANNEALED GLASS breaks easily, producing long, sharp splinters. TEMPERED GLASS shatters completely under higher levels of impact energy, and few pieces remain in the frame. LAMINATED GLASS may crack under pressure, but tends to remain integral, adher- ing to the plastic vinyl interlayer. Protection From Break-Ins By Vandals, Burglars and Weather: Repeated blows from bats, crowbars, hammers or bricks may cause the glass to crack.The PVB interlayer holds glass together and the pane within the frame, making access to the home interior difficult. In a hurricane, window integrity isn’t compromised. Meets ASTM F-1223 (class 1) forced entry standard. Shielding From Ultraviolet Rays: All things tend to fade when subjected to prolonged sun exposure.The laminated insulating glass in the 143 Window Series helps protect fabric, furniture and other items in a home from degradation by blocking the majority of UV rays, while still allowing light to shine through. Greatly Reduced Sound Transmission: Acoustic studies show reductions of up to 50% in the transmission of outside noise, compared to ordinary glass. This makes for a more peaceful and rest- ful home, regardless of location.
