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.
