Tempest Guard incorporates a series of structural interlayers to achieve the extreme glass strength required for buildings located in Australian cyclonic regions C and D. Tempest Guard is tested to NATA accredited standards at speeds of up to 44mps as detailed in AS/NZS1170.2
AS/NZS 1170.2 certified
NATA certified at speeds of up to 44mps as detailed within the cyclonic glass requirements of AS/NZS1170.
Structural interlayers
Leverage the potential of SGP and DG41 structural interlayers to achieve radical new design outcomes.
Combine with decorative treatments
Incorporate with decorative solutions such as ImagInk, DigiGlass or Vanceva to create wide ranging aesthetic outcomes.
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.
Tempest Guard must be installed in an approved cyclonic framing system to ensure full compliance with AS/NZ1170.2. Current certification covers the Capral 400 series framing systems, however compatibility with other aluminium framing systems can be easily achieved via additional certification.
With a maximum panel size of 2450 x 5000mm Tempest Guard offers versatility to builders and architects in creating cyclone-resistant structures.
