Strong shield
Custom Home, Sept-Oct, 2002
HurricaneShield window glass sandwiches an ionoplast layer between two layers of glass, providing 100 times the rigidity and five times the tear resistance of traditional impact-resistant laminated glass, the maker says. As shown here, the windows can withstand the impact of a 9-pound 2x4 hurled at a high speed. The windows come with aluminum exteriors and wood interiors. Pella. 888.847.3552. www.pella.com.
