Round-The-Clock Hurricane Protection & More!
Protecting Your Home, Inside & Out

Why KeepSafe Maximum? Let the facts speak for themselves.

Each year hurricanes cause more than $2 billion in damage to the U.S., and that number is expected to grow.
According to weather experts, Americans can expect bigger, stronger and more devastating storms in the future.
45 million permanent residents now live along hurricane-prone coastlines.
With KeepSafe Maximum glass windows and doors, you can help protect your home and family, as well as guard against the destructive effects of hurricanes. Unlike the glass in conventional window systems, KeepSafe Maximum glass will not shatter and fall from its frame when struck by a projectile, or flying debris. Instead, any glass fragments tend to adhere to KeepSafe Maximum's unique plastic interlayer. So even when faced with hurricane-force winds, windows and doors made with KeepSafe Maximum hold together and hang tough. All of which helps protect your home's integrity, while keeping out damaging winds, rain and flying debris.

ASTM F 588-85 Appendix 2 (measures a window's ability to resist impacts)

ASTM F 842 Grade 10 (measures a sliding glass door's resistance to forced entry) and

ASTM F 476 Grade 10 (measures doors and sidelights resistance to forced entry).
