  • Hurricane and tornado window and door testing – Windstorm rated building assemblies assist in providing protection from high velocity winds and windborne debris resulting from hurricane and tornado force winds.
  • Safe rooms/storm shelters – Provide protection of occupants against injury or death during extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes.
  • Lightning protection – Adding a lightning protection system to a building increases protection from physical damage and reduces the possibility of fire.
