ProTek® Hurricane Resistant and Blast Mitigation Systems

HURRICANE & BLAST PROTECTION SOLUTIONS

Systems Engineered for Protection

ProTek® systems are engineered and tested to help protect building occupants and assets from wind-borne debris, forced-entry threats, and blast events. Products are tested to meet hurricane impact requirements of the International Building Code and Florida Building Code, and blast standards commonly specified for federal facilities, including the Department of Defense (DoD), Veterans Administration (VA), and General Services Administration (GSA).

ProTek® systems are tested for hurricane impact performance up to Missile Level E, often required for essential facilities that must remain operational during severe storm events.


Florida Product Approvals can be leveraged on projects nationwide—not just in Florida.
These pre-approved documents provide validated framing, glazing, and anchoring configurations that reduce engineering time and simplify specification.

IMPACT-RATED SYSTEMS

Hurricane Wind Resistance

ProTek® systems are engineered and tested to meet International Building Code requirements for Wind-Borne Debris Regions, including the stringent High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

These systems have been field proven in major hurricane events across the United States, helping protect building occupants and maintain envelope integrity under severe impact and pressure conditions.

Dry-glazed configurations are available for both large and small missile impact applications, helping simplify installation and reduce labor during initial glazing and replacement.

BLAST MITIGATION

Engineered to Support Blast Requirements

ProTek® systems are tested to industry blast standards designed to help protect building occupants and reduce hazards from flying debris and glass fragmentation. These systems are engineered to maintain building envelope integrity during blast events and help mitigate injury risk.

Blast mitigation solutions are commonly specified for federal facilities and high-risk structures, including government buildings, military installations, transportation hubs, and critical infrastructure.
