East Cost Windows is a proud partner of the PGT Industries, maker of the Winguard Aluminum products. The story of PGT Industries began with the after-effects of Hurricane Andrew (1992). The company felt propelled to come up with a better solution to flying debris. Just like East Coast Windows, which started in 1996, the mission was to protect homeowners, especially during hurricanes and intense storms.
The number one cause for property damage during a hurricane is flying debris – not wind. In fact, flying debris can cause glass windows to shatter, resulting in even more wind and water damage. With the Winguard Aluminum, East Coast can promise that a 9-pound beam traveling 34 miles/hour will damage but not shatter a hurricane impact window. Thus, there will be no glass shards scattering inside or outside the house, potentially causing dire risks for anyone walking near the window.
The PGT Testing is a scientific process designed to prove that impact-resistant doors and windows are engineered to handle even the most robust and strongest hurricanes the country could ever experience. In fact, the running record of impact failures with the PGT test is… zero!
And if East Coast hurricane impact windows and doors can protect your home and family from speeding debris, it can also keep you safe from intruders, noise, and UV rays which can be very bad for furniture, curtains, paintings, etc. These rays can cause severe fading and damage.
