Severe Weather Door & Frame System
Strong gusts up to 70 miles per hour are not uncommon anywhere in the world, but sustained winds of that magnitude, or winds of higher speed are generally associated with tornados, hurricanes and tropical storms.
Damage can be caused by flying debris (referred to as windborne missiles). If wind speeds are high enough, missiles can be thrown at a building with enough force to penetrate windows, walls or the roof.
An object such as a 2" x 4" wood stud weighing 15 pounds, when carried by a 250-mph wind can have a horizontal speed of 100 mph and impact enough force to penetrate most common building materials used today.
Ceco developed StormPro 361 to resist missile penetration for use in buildings designed as shelters to protect occupants from injury.
Applications:
