E-zone Glass - Thermal Resistant Cyclone Glass
E-zone Glass® Cyclone Resistant Glass offers all the protection and peace of mind as StormShield®, with the added benefit of moderating Solar Heat Gain.
The pyrolitic process used in the manufacture of E-zone cyclone resistant glass embeds invisible heat-reflective materials into the glass. This allows light to enter, but reflects much of the inbound heat, increasing comfort. Conversely in cool climates we can configure E-zone to maximize heat retention.
Hydrostatic pressure testing has demonstrated that E-zone can provide substantially superior flood resistance when installed in a certified flood resistant frame compared to standard laminates.
Glasshape has recently improved its E-zone Glass product range and we are now offering combined product solutions for both Region C&D, E-zone Glass Ultra & E-zone Glass Extreme. These two new product variants provide multifaceted enhancements to combat the conditions experienced in both regions, E-zone Glass Ultra for impact resistance up to 39m/s & E-zone Glass Extreme for impacts up to 44m/s. E-zone Glass products are the only available annealed laminated product solution for Cyclone Resistance that can be cut and processed from stock sheets and available from our local stockists.
