Ordinary products. During a hurricane, glass in ordinary windows and patio doors can shatter from flying debris and high-speed winds, causing a change in air pressure that literally can blow a home apart.

StaySafe. Peachtree’s impact-resistant products—tested effective against winds up to 180 to 200 miles per hour—help keep you and your home safe and sound.

Due to factors beyond Peachtree’s control, it is not possible to guarantee that windows will meet published ratings and specifications after they are installed. Test results may vary by size of product.
See technical specification information for other window sizes and types. |

Building code compliant. StaySafe products are specifically designed to comply with the stringent building requirements of Miami-Dade County. They meet or exceed industry standards for wind pressure and impact resistance, and can be specified with Low-E2 insulated glass with argon gas to satisfy energy codes in northeastern states.
 Fortified glass. Up to four times stronger than traditional glass, StaySafe's laminated glass features a tough interlayer of .090" gauge KeepSafe® Maximum polyvinyl butyral (PVB) that resists impact from flying debris and traps shards of broken glass. Strong sealants keep the glass from breaking away from the frame. |

 Proven protection. Before any window or door product can be certified as impact resistant it must go through a battery of difficult tests. First the unit must go through extensive air and water testing. The second round of tests simulates flying debris by shooting a 2 x 4 at the window from a high-powered air cannon. Finally, the unit goes through intense cycles of positive and negative loads of pressure. If all tests are passed, then the product can become certified. |
