Over the past year, Windsor has been focused on developing Pinnacle clad impact products that meet the strict standards of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). Products meeting the HVHZ criteria are subjected to the most rigorous testing to pass certification. Each product is impacted with a 9 pound 2 x 4 multiple times and then put through 4,500 positive/negative pressure cycles. After this, the products are then tested to ensure they can operate properly in order to have a successful test.
Windsor products that have successfully passed HVHZ certification are:
- Pinnacle Select operating casement and awning
- Pinnacle Select pushout casement and awning
- Pinnacle Select casement stationary and picture
- Pinnacle clad standard direct set
- Pinnacle clad low profile direct set / radius
- Pinnacle clad double-hung picture
- Pinnacle clad patio door transom
- Pinnacle clad outswing patio door
We are currently in development and testing on Pinnacle clad operating double-hungs and quad sliding patio doors to round out the offering and hope to have them available later in 2019.?
