“To meet increasing customers demand for security doors that can combine exceptional protection with much enhanced ambiance – versus competitive products such as plywood and steel – we’ve developed the first transparent doors that meet stringent industry requirements,” Industry Tested and Approved Independent testing by Architectural Testing, Inc., of York, Penn., has demonstrated that Insulgard transparent doors can withstand the force of a 15-lb. 2x4 wooden board shot from an air cannon at 100 mph to simulate projectiles hurled during a hurricane or tornado. The evaluation included simulated winds of up to 225 mph (hurricane) and 250 mph (tornado). The doors are available in single and double configurations up to 7 ft. by 8 ft., with or without a center mullion. The Insulgard full lite architectural aluminum door meets FEMA 361-2008 requirements for missile impact resistance, ICC-500, Section 804; pressure in accordance with ICC-500, Section 805; and cyclic pressures in accordance with ASTM E1996 requirements for tornado and hurricane shelters.
