Hurricane FORCE V - Extreme Storm Protection.

Finally, Windows and Doors Made For The Extremes.
Homes in the coastal areas offer a new set of challenges for many homeowners. Not only are these areas beautiful to live in, but the homes require products that can withstand unpredictable weather, as well as the everyday elements that wear at a home´s exterior.

With the extreme temperature swings and high salt exposure, you need a window that can offer you greater protection than the typical aluminum storm and aluminum frame windows.

Schuco windows are guaranteed not to crack, peel or warp in the heavy heat of the summer. Because of their superior engineered quality, Schuco vinyl windows and doors offer homeowners an easy and maintenance free option for their home.

The Best of Both Worlds. Schuco understands the need for windows and doors to provide maximum protection. This leading commitment to enhanced safety is featured in homes all over the world. Schuco is the only vinyl window manufacturer to offer a complete line of windows and doors that meet the benchmark of tough hurricane performance requirements - the stringent Florida and Miami Dade County Codes - for hurricane-impact resistance.

Where else can you select from the most technologically advanced American window styles with classic designs and beveled exteriors, or choose the contemporary styling of streamlined European window styles, with large viewing areas and high-tech hardware? Now you have more choices to help renovate your home´s exterior or plan your new construction project.

With Schuco´s Laminated Glass and Impact Resistant Glazing technologies, you will experience greater protection and peace of mind, no matter what window style you choose. These technologies work together to keep the window glass intact by helping to reduce property damage during the strongest of storms. You´ll also enjoy high levels of thermal efficiency and increased sound control as a bonus - thanks to double-pane, Low-E coated glass construction, filled with argon gas and mounted securely into the vinyl frame unit. Laminated, single pane construction can´t compare!

Hurricane FORCE V windows manufactured by Schuco are an investment you can live with.

The True Hurricane Threat - Flying Debris.
Hurricanes are capable of producing winds in excess of 120 mph. But the real threat to your home is caused by resulting flying debris. Windows and doors are typically the weakest point of a building envelope. When the building envelope is penetrated and compromised by debris, incredible hurricane energy inside the home can create internal pressures that work to literally destroy the structure from the inside-out.

Building Code Evolution.
In hurricane-prone regions, building codes are being adopted to insure the integrity of the building envelope during a hurricane. These codes have been revised to demand tougher performance against windblown debris. Now, many communities are adopting codes similar to the most stringent codes originally established in the Miami-Dade, Florida region. Schuco is proud to offer dependable products to meet and exceed these latest code requirements.

The Schuco USA Solution.
Schuco is the only vinyl window manufacturer offering a broad selection of hurricane resistant products that are approved to protect the building envelope in the most stringent Florida communities, as well as across the country. Schuco manufactures classic American Style Window products and innovative European Styles for maximum choices.
