Windows Withstand Penetration by Airborne Debris

Just in time for an unusually persistent and destructive hurricane season, Loewen, a Canadian luxury wood window and door manufacturer, has entered the market with a new StormForce Series of products designed to resist penetration by airborne debris and withstand a storm’s full force.

Headquartered in Steinbach, Manitoba, the location of its 567,000-square-foot plant, Loewen is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

Available in three gradations, StormForce DP, IP and MP fills the needs of home owners — and the requirements of stringent building codes — in a large range of market zones prone to inclement weather, says the manufacturer.

The StormForce technology is available for a large selection of the windows and doors offered by the Douglas fir window maker.

“Along with the exceptional performance provided by Loewen’s StormForce Series of products, the clean aesthetics of our products are maintained,” said Ray van Boven, the company’s product sales manager.

“Where others have had to add visible exposed brackets and retainers to provide the required performance, Loewen has maintained the look of our products that the market has come to expect,” he said. “There are no visible brackets or retainers when Loewen products are closed.”
