Patio Doors Built to Withstand Hurricanes
 Among the many U.S. manufacturers offering building products geared to helping homes withstand high winds, coastal storms and windborne debris, Therma-Tru is introducing laminated patio door glass that can stand up to hurricane conditions.
Headquartered in Maumee, Ohio, Therma-Tru is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.
Therma’s Tru’s new impact-rated glass for its Slim-Line Patio Door Systems has a DP-50 rating on doors up to 8-feet tall and 9-feet wide for water and structural and windborne debris, according to the manufacturer.
This rating assures that the door can structurally withstand 171 mph winds, water penetration of 8 inches of rain per hour driven by 54 mph winds and air infiltration equal to 25 mph winds.
The Slimi-Line fiberglass door system features trouble-free tracks, tempered Low-E glass and double weather-stripping to reduce callbacks and provide comfort and energy efficiency. Fiberglass pultruded lineals won’t warp, crack, rot, swell or split, says Therma-Tru.
The door system is backed by a 20-year warranty.
