“Hurricane Glazing – Impact Performance & Beyond” | August 13, 2025 | 12:00 PM ET

Kuraray is proud to present an upcoming AIA-approved webinar focused on the critical topic of hurricane-resistant glazing systems. Titled “Hurricane Glazing – Impact Performance & Beyond,” this session will offer architects and building professionals in-depth insights into designing façades that can withstand the most extreme weather events.

Speaker: Vaughn Schauss, Technical Expert in Glazing Systems

What You’ll Learn:

  • Understand building codes and standards for glazing in wind-borne debris zones
  • Review ASTM E1886 and E1996 for missile-impact and pressure-cycling test requirements
  • Learn the benefits of impact-rated glazing for essential facilities and infrastructure
  • Compare laminated glass interlayers: PVB vs. SentryGlas® ionoplast
  • Understand dry-glazed vs. wet-glazed systems and when to use each
  • Explore additional performance considerations: energy efficiency, intrusion resistance, bomb blast and tornado protection

Why It Matters:
Wind-borne debris protection is required in many coastal areas to protect lives and property. Failure to safeguard openings can result in costly damage, mold, and even catastrophic structural failure due to internal pressure build-up. Laminated glass—especially using high-performance interlayers—plays a vital role in ensuring both compliance and safety.
