Viridian StormGuard™

Protection against nature’s most powerful storms

Viridian StormGuard™ cyclone resistant glass has been specifically designed for buildings in Australia or New Zealand’s cyclone prone regions described by AS/NZS 1170.2, or wherever buildings require protection from strong winds and airborne debris.

Description

StormGuard cyclone resistant glass is a laminated safety glas s that incorporates an extra thick interlayer to resist penetration from flying debris such as timber associated with cyclones. Even if the glass is impacted and broken, it still retains its weather-tight ability allowing the building to remain habitable after a cyclone passes.

StormGuard cyclone resistant glass is suitable for all buildings in strong wind areas, specifically buildings that need to be habitable during and immediately after a cyclone – for example hospitals, emergency services, defence and government buildings, hotels and homes.
