Tempest Guard - 1890mm x 745mm Slow Motion

Testing "Tempest Guard" at UWA in Perth, Australia.
This glass is to withstand storm ratings found Australia.
Projectile is traveling at 15 metres per second.

Cooling Brothers are proud to announce the introduction of Tempest Guard Cyclonic Glass. In the past interlayer limitations have prevented products from passing the industry recognised Cyclonic Impact Test, however with the release of a new range high performance structural interlayers from DuPont, we have created a new range of highly strengthened cyclonic glass - Tempest Guard.

In utilising the new SentryGlas interlayer from Dupont, we are able to provide a rock solid foundation for Tempest Guard. Used extensively throughout the world for many uses including cyclone, hurricane and bomb blast protection, this exceptional product has also been used for structural applications such as canopies and balustrading. The stiffer interlayer also contributes to low-deflection glass, ideal for cost-effective "dry glazing" in hurricane zones, as well as provding better energy efficiency and noise reduction.

Cooling Brothers have commissioned independent testing by Curtin University and UWA to test from 6.52mm to 11.52mm thickness of Tempest GuardTM using the Dupont SentryGlas interlayer. The testing was to the current standard of AS 1170 .2 wind action which contains the cyclonic impact test of 4kg piece of timber travelling at 15km per second .

The Tempest Guard results were exemplary. Tested in a variety of approved framing systems, all thicknesses of glass that were paired with the Sentry Glas interlayer passed with flying colours. Manufacture of Tempest guard at our state of the art facility at High Wycombe WA is now fully under way.

We will continue to innovate and test new products as the standard for Cyclonic regions increases.
