HURRICANE PROTECTION
WinGuard® products can withstand repeated impact from a nine-pound 2’ by 4’ beam traveling at 34 miles per hour, followed by hurricane-force winds. Even if the glass is damaged, it remains securely in its frame, keeping the elements outside.
UV PROTECTION
The clear interlayer used in WinGuard® Aluminum products filters out 99% of UV rays, helping your furniture, carpet, artwork, and drapes retain their original beauty.
NOISE REDUCTION
WinGuard® windows and doors significantly reduce ambient noise by absorbing sound rather than transmitting it, keeping outside disruptions where they belong.
PEACE OF MIND
The durable interlayer used in WinGuard® products keeps glass in place and provides an additional barrier that deters intruders by preventing breakage.
GLASS TYPE COMPARISON
Glass breakage patterns vary greatly depending on treatment and construction. WinGuard® laminated products may crack if impacted, but keep glass pieces adhered to the laminate and secure in the frame. Conversely, single pane annealed glass will fracture into large shards and will not be held in the frame after breaking.
10-YEAR WARRANTY
WinGuard® products are backed by our solid warranty. Whether aluminum or vinyl, WinGuard® units come with a limited lifetime warranty on insulating glass units and a 10-year warranty on laminated glass units.
