HURRICANE-RESISTANT WINDOWS CERTIFIED TO TAS AND ASTM STANDARDS
Architectural Large Missile Impact Resistant Windows: Design Performance Level 80 PSF (3.83 kPa) (effective July 1, 2010 upgraded from 70 PSF) Tested and Certified to TAS 201, TAS 202, TAS 203, ASTM E1886, and ASTM E1996

Kalwall translucent systems have always been certified for hurricane resistance, but now there's a new development: Kalwall E-Series Windows, which allow integration of clear vision glass with translucent panels, are now certified to TAS 201, 202, and 203 as well as ASTM E1886 and E1996 in fixed and project-out sash models. Designers get all the benefits of Kalwall, such as controlled daylighting along with high insulation values, plus clear vision to the outside, an important component of LEEDŽ certification. The clear glazing is five feet wide and can be up to three feet high, offering a variety of options to designers.

Additionally, when properly installed, E-Series Windows meet the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and UFAS (Uniform Federal Accessibility Standard) criteria. For example, operable windows should be installed so as to have unimpeded approach. The window takes less than 5 lbs. (2.2 kg) of force to open and close and the single window handle is a comfortable curved, open loop design that can be effortlessly operated without rotation of the hand.
