Guardian 275® Hurricane Protection
Don’t sacrifice the energy-saving benefits of daylighting for secure hurricane protection
Major Industries’ Guardian 275® Translucent Curtainwall Systems, now approved for use in most Florida counties and 90% of the hurricane zones in North America (up to and including Wind Zone II), can be configured to provide unmatched protection from the elements while allowing glare-free natural light to illuminate building interiors.
In order to receive Florida approval, Major’s Guardian 275® Translucent Curtainwall had to withstand a variety of missile impact, water and air infiltration and pressure load tests. Guardian 275® Translucent Curtainwall, with its unique design and use of high-performance materials, offers strong protection without sacrificing the numerous health and environmental benefits that daylighting provides.
Testing Criteria and Standards:
- ASTM E1886/E1996 for Large Missile Impact Resistance
- ASTM E331 Water Penetration
- ASTM E330 Structural Performance
- ASTM E283 Air Infiltration
- Florida Approval Number - FL10280
Guardian 275® Translucent Daylighting Panels feature a tough sandwich-panel construction consisting of an aluminum grid core between two high-performance face sheets. In any configuration, Guardian 275® systems are lightweight, provide enhanced thermal performance over standard glass systems and feature integral water management systems and high-performance gasketing to ensure weatherproof performance.
