Typhoon Glass

StormShield®

StormShield® is a laminated safety glass specially formulated to resist excessive wind speeds and penetration from flying debris present during cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons. The glass is able to deflect up to 5 times its normal rate before breaking. Even when breakage of the glass occurs, glass pieces will remain adhered to the interlayer. With that, it maintains a water-tight environment even during extreme storms.

Testing & Certification

StormShield® was proven to be able to resist impact from a 4kg piece of timber (100mm x 50mm cross section) at over 44m/sec (160km/h) travelling lengthways without perforating the interlayer. It has been subjected to a series of hydrostatic pressure tests to withstand rising floodwaters prevalent in cyclonic weathers. It is ideal for shop-fronts, government buildings, and places that need to remain habitable immediately after a storm. The 10mm thick StormShield® has also withstood extreme test pressures of more than 12kPa, which equates to wind gusts in excess of 500km/h.

Product certifications:
– AS1170.2:2011 (Cyclone Impact Resistance)
– AS4040.2:1992
– AS4040.3:1992 (Static and Cyclic Wind loading)
– AS/NZS2208:1996
– AS1288:2006 (Glass in Buildings)
