Severe Weather Protection

Hurricane, Tornado, Earthquake, and Other Natural Disasters

Glass Strengthening and Glass Protection for severe weather such as Hurricane and natural catastrophes is one field that GSS dedicates a major portion of it's research and development. Severe weather such as Hurricanes, Tornados, and other similar weather conditions are unpredictable and can turn out to be very deadly when it comes to breaking glass. Our studies show us that in most severe weather and like conditions that over 50% of major injury and sometimes death is associated with broken glass and flying debris. GSS' films are designed not only to strengthen your glass in an effort to prevent breakages, but is also specially designed to help hold the broken glass in place to the frame when and if glass failure does happen.

All of GSS' film products have be tested and retested to meet and or exceed all Safety Standards that pertain to the area of glass protection. All of the test where conducted under the strictest guidelines set forth by A.N.S.I., A.S.T.M., U.L., and N.I.J.. In house testing proves out that GSS' films can meet and exceed Standards set forth in Dade County Florida, Dade County Protocol's for Hurricane Protection.

As with Bomb Blast, severe weather conditions can create a positive and negative forces of pressure on framed in glass and even with plywood or shutters in place during a storm these positive and negative pressures can cause the glass not only to break but even explode! This is why GSS' film products are so valuable in these kind of conditions.

All of GSS' film products have undergone stringent testing for impact, wind load, tear strengthen, peel strengthen, and bonding rate. With all these test done under the strict guidelines of ANSI, ASTM, UL, and N.I.J Standards, GSS film products will meet and or exceed Dade County, Florida Protocols for Hurricane protection.

No more waiting in long lines for plywood or going the that painstaking effort of putting it up and taking it down. Be confident that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, GSS is there protecting your home, your automobile, your business, YOUR LIFE!
