IMPACT RESISTANT INSULATED GLAZING
Protect
your home – and your family – from the elements.
StormForceTM IP
withstands high winds, driving rain and airborne debris while
delivering uncompromising beauty, style and function.
The
StormForceTM IP Series from Loewen features an insulated sealed unit
designed for energy efficiency and impact resistance, able to withstand
9,000 cycles of positive and negative wind loading. The IP
Series’
superior energy efficient design meets specific regional building codes
in coastal areas from New York to Texas.
Engineered with
resilient, beautiful Douglas Fir, the IP Series offers an aesthetic
that will work to enhance your home’s design –
without unsightly
retainer clips or brackets. The laminated glass used in StormForceTM IP
provides a number of additional benefits: enhanced security, excellent
ultraviolet ray protection (cause of furniture/fabric fading) and
increased sound attenuation. Loewen offers finishing options for most
of our windows and doors in a traditional clear wood exterior, primed
wood or choose from our Metal Clad Color Spectrum of 36 extruded
aluminum colors.

***C-Missile certified
products are tested to withstand impact from a 4 1/2 pound 2 x 4 stud,
4 feet in length, at an impact speed of 40 feet/second. Products are
then tested to withstand 9,000 positive and negative wind loading
cycles.
Tested in accordance with regional code requirements (i.e.
International Residential Code and ASTM E-1996 / E-1886, etc.)Visit http://www.iccsafe.org
