Impact Testing our products!! Interesting Video.

Hurricane Wind Zone 4 (140 MPH)

The missile impact test fires a 9 pound 2″ x 4″ at 50 feet per second at designated spots on the door glass and door slab. The entire unit must remain intact through 9,000 pressure cycles and also pass water-infiltration, structural loading, and forced entry tests.

Proper flashing is crucial to the performance of windows and doors. In order to get the product to perform equal to its performance label, flashing is a must. When using Stucco as your siding, all the better reason to get it right the first time.

A recent article in ProSales Magazine, written by Charles Wardell, proper flashing techniques are discussed in a step by step process. He speaks about best practices, as well as pointing out signs of a sloppy job. Certainly a must read by all window and door installers, as well as Builders and Remodelers. Be the expert, and avoid the call backs.
