1 c a s e S T U D Y This renovated 1930s structure now houses the Weather Museum in Houston s Museum District. Impact-Resistant Vinyl Doors Add Security to Homes WHEN HURRICANE WARNINGS are issued in Madeira Beach, Florida most oceanfront residents scramble to secure their homes. Not Larry and Brenda Roelofs. While other homeowners in the seaside town located on the Gulf of Mexico go into full storm alert, the Roelofs are always ready for bad weather 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. We had impact-resistant vinyl windows installed throughout our three-bedroom condo when we first moved in, says Larry Roelofs, president of the condominium association at Madeira Cove Condos. When the company came out with sliding patio doors in the same product line last year we had them installed immediately. We love them. The doors are just as sturdy as our windows and give us wide open views. More importantly, our home is protected from severe weather and we never have to lift a finger to prepare for a storm! Homeowners like the Roelofs are finding peaceof-mind, lower energy bills, easier maintenance and By Mark DeSimone 48 DOORS AND HARDWARE JUNE 2007
2 more expansive views as a result of adding impact-resistant vinyl products to their coastal homes. As coastal construction codes increasingly call for impact resistant products, manufacturers are working steadily to introduce new products in styles and sizes that meet consumer demands. There are many features that delight us about these doors, says Roelofs. One is that they did not sweat during winter months. Our old doors had water running down the glass and the aluminum frame to the point where we had to place towels at the base to prevent the wood floors from being stained. These new doors didn t have one drop of condensation during our colder months. Not to be confused with products made with tempered glass alone, the sliding impact vinyl doors are made with one pane of tempered glass and one pane of impact-resistant laminated glass, that enable the doors to stand up to fierce weather conditions. Much like a car windshield, when these doors are struck by flying objects, the glass is more resistant to breaking. If a flying object fractures the glass during severe weather or an intruder attack, the laminated glass will remain intact within the frame and protect the home. Homeowners have the option when ordering their window and door package to request ENERGY star compliant glass packages. Many manufacturers also offer unique glass options such as solar E and greylite (turtle glass). A key advantage of impact-resistant products is that they are always on the job and do not require boarding or shuttering up. That reduces the worry level of homeowners who may have homes in both the north and south or who are traveling when a storm is forecast. Aside from the enhanced storm protection and superior energy efficiency benefits, impact-resistant windows and doors can help homeowners save money first on their energy bills and second with their insurance companies. By selecting vinyl frames on impact resistant products homeowners also gain the advantage of having both low maintenance and a great insulator. Finally, when looking at vinyl impact resistant products overall, homeowners can gain almost 50% reduction in noise transference into their homes along with greatly reduced UV ray penetration. The strength of the impact-resistant glass package deters sound, solar penetration and even intruders from breaking in the home. JUNE 2007 DOORS AND HARDWARE 49 FREE ADVERTISER INFORMATION AT:
3 p This second floor condo with StormBreaker Plus Doors does not need shuttering up during storms. Sliding Impact Doors from Simonton protect homes from fierce weather conditions. Impact-resistant products are so secure, that when the country s first national museum dedicated to weather opened in Houston last year, they chose stormbreaker Plus windows to protect the structure from severe weather. A project of the Weather Research Center, the Texas-based education and research organization, the John C. Freeman Weather Museum is a facility where people of all ages can go to learn about the weather, its history and public safety. Located in a restored building in the historic Houston Museum District, the Weather Museum had more than five dozen impactresistant windows installed as part of the building s renovation. Understanding the science behind weather formation and the ways in which storms develop is crucial to all of us so that lives and property can be protected, according to Jill Hasling, certified consulting meteorologist and executive director of the Weather Research Center. Our new impact-resistant products have added to the safety and security of The Weather Museum while illustrating the importance of hurricaneresistant products to our visitors. Founded in 1987, the non-profit Weather Research Center manages a worldwide forecasting operation and provides groundbreaking research to scientists around the globe. Meteorologists work on severe weather advisories, marine forecasts, long-range outlooks, environmental studies and forensic meteorology services. According to Hasling, the highest area at risk of experiencing a tropical storm or hurricane in 2007 is the Gulf Coast between Louisiana and Alabama.

5 tropical weather possibilities during Hurricane season 2007 include west Florida and the Atlantic coast of Georgia to North Carolina. These areas have the highest probability of experiencing landfall from a tropical storm or hurricane, says Hasling. We are predicting seven named storms in 2007, of which four are expected to intensify into hurricanes. Three of these storms are expected to make landfall along the United States coast. To learn more about weather, visitors at the Weather Museum are able to meet with local meteorologists in the Weather Wizards Corner and see weather experiments take place. Guests at the museum can learn about storm surges with a simulated flash flood, make recordings of themselves being weathermen on camera, touch a tornado and explore antique weather equipment. A computer classroom and children s classroom are planned for the facility, which attracts thousands of school children annually along with visitors from around the world.
