E-zone | Cyclone Resistant Glass

Glass

E-zone® Cyclone Resistant Glass offers all the protection and peace of mind as StormShield®, with the added benefit of moderating Solar Heat Gain.

The pyrolitic process used in the manufacture of E-zone cyclone resistant glass embeds invisible heat-reflective materials into the glass. This allows light to enter, but reflects much of the inbound heat, increasing comfort. Conversely in cool climates we can configure E-zone to maximize heat retention.

Hydrostatic pressure testing has demonstrated that E-zone can provide substantially superior flood resistance when installed in a certified flood resistant frame compared to standard laminates.
