MAXIMUM PROTECTION FROM HURRICANE FORCES
Design your home to offer the ultimate in security and
protection. StormForceTM MP withstands hurricane force
conditions while delivering uncompromising beauty, style and
function.
The StormForceTM MP Series from Loewen takes the performance
of our standard windows and doors to the extreme, offering you
fenestration structurally enhanced to meet even the most
stringent demands of Miami-Dade County test protocols. Rated to
DP 70, this superior design is able to withstand 9,000 cycles

loading and the impact of a D-Missile***.
Engineered with resilient, beautiful Douglas Fir, the MP
Series offers an aesthetic that will work to enhance your

brackets. The monolithic laminated glass used in StormForceTM
