Why Loewen - Impact Glazing

MAXIMUM PROTECTION FROM HURRICANE FORCES

Design your home to offer the ultimate in security and protection. StormForceTM MP withstands hurricane force conditions while delivering uncompromising beauty, style and function.

The StormForceTM MP Series from Loewen takes the performance of our standard windows and doors to the extreme, offering you fenestration structurally enhanced to meet even the most stringent demands of Miami-Dade County test protocols. Rated to DP 70, this superior design is able to withstand 9,000 cycles of positive and negative wind loading, 105 psf structural loading and the impact of a D-Missile*.

Engineered with resilient, beautiful Douglas Fir, the MP Series offers an aesthetic that will work to enhance your home’s design – without unsightly retainer clips or brackets. The monolithic laminated glass used in StormForceTM MP provides a number of additional benefits: enhanced security, excellent ultraviolet ray protection (cause of furniture/fabric fading) and increased sound attenuation. MP Series windows and doors feature our Metal Clad Color Spectrum of 36 extruded aluminum colors.
