Glasshape has recently improved its StormShield product range and is now offering combined product solutions for both Region C and D, StormShield Ultra and StormShield Extreme. These two new product variants provide multifaceted enhancements to combat the conditions experienced in both regions – StormShield Ultra for impact resistance up to 39 m/s, and StormShield Extreme for impacts up to 44 m/s.
StormShield products are an annealed laminated product solution for cyclone resistance that can be cut and processed from stock sheets. They are available from Glasshape local stockists.
StormShield uses a specially formulated ultra-high grade laminate in the manufacturing process, engineered for the glass to expand and contract up to five times its normal rate before breaking, providing maximum protection from wind-born debris. The proprietary process allows Glasshape to manufacture glass that has better performance ratings from lighter, thinner compositions.
