Product details:
Tempest Guard Cyclonic Glass
For projects located in Australian wind regions C and D, Tempest Guard is the ultimate solution for builders and architects seeking robust cyclonic protection. NATA credentials include full certification for withstanding wind speeds of up to 44 meters per second, as per AS/NZS1170.2:2011, including impacts from a 4kg piece of timber and an 8mm steel ball.
