Pilkington Profilit-Hurricane - Hurricane-Rated Channel Glass System

Hurricane-Rated Channel Glass System

Pilkington Profilit™ Hurricane is the only tested and approved hurricane impact channel glazing system in North America. The system consists of unique, self-supporting cast glass channels and an extruded metal perimeter frame. The end result is an impact resistant translucent glass wall. The glass is available in a variety of colors and textures with varying translucency, allowing for the passage of natural light without the loss of privacy.

Pilkington Profilit Hurricane is energy efficient and provides excellent sound reduction. It is dual glazed for exterior applications and is available with optional light transmitting insulation.
