System Description

Engineered to exceed hurricane impact and structural standards, our advanced frame and glass construction provide exceptional resistance against high winds and flying debris.
The FoldA Aluminum 57 - High Wind is available with Impact-Resistant Glass options, including PVB™ and SentryGlas™ interlayer, designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris. For projects that do not require impact certification, Non-Impact Glass is also available.
SentryGlas is a trademark of Kuraray America, Inc.
AZON is a trademark of AZON USA, Inc.
Designed to withstand extreme conditions, our laminated glass not only protects against wind-borne debris but also enhances security. We use both PVB™ and SentryGlas™, the best interlayers for hurricane impact glass globally.
Our patented Finger Safe Seals offer peace of mind for parents, ensuring safety by preventing accidental injuries while maintaining smooth and secure operation.
Advanced sealing technology prevents air and water infiltration, ensuring superior performance during storms while adding an extra layer of safety.
The FoldA Aluminum 57 - High Wind enhances security with a Double Locking System, adding an extra low-profile lever handle and reinforced top and bottom bar locks to our existing locking mechanism. The center-mounted lever handles secure each panel pair, while the entrance handle mortise lock system ensures superior protection against both extreme weather and intrusion, all while maintaining a sleek and functional design.
FoldA Aluminum 57-High Wind features an enhanced double internal lock bar system for added protection against forced entry and extreme weather conditions.
Designed for structural stability, our high-performance tracks provide reliable support for smooth operation.
Enjoy smooth and safe transitions with our standard combo bottom track—barefoot or in high heels for effortless indoor-outdoor access. You can choose from 15 track options tailored for different environments.
Recessed track options ensure smooth, barrier-free transitions while maintaining compliance with accessibility standards.
Designed for optimal insulation, reducing heat transfer and enhancing energy savings.
Heavy-duty yet smooth, our rollers ensure effortless operation, even for large panel configurations.
Virtually endless folding configurations and finish options to suit any architectural style.

Which High Wind system is right for you?

1. Assess Your Location

Understanding your region’s hurricane risk is the first step in selecting the right system. Identify whether you are in a high-wind or hurricane-prone area and check local building codes to determine the required level of protection. 1-1 : Florida Residents – A Florida Certified System is required to meet strict building regulations, including Florida Product Approval, Miami-Dade NOA and HVHZ certification. 1-2 : Non-Florida Residents – For areas outside Florida with high wind exposure, a TDI (Texas Department of Insurance) Approved System or other regional high-wind-rated system may be necessary.

2. Determine Your Protection Level

Assess the level of hurricane protection required based on your location’s wind speed and building requirements. 2-1 : Impact Systems – Designed for areas prone to extreme weather, impact-rated systems provide superior resistance against hurricane-force winds and flying debris. 2-2 : Non-Impact Systems – Suitable for high-wind areas where impact resistance is not mandated but structural strength and weather sealing are still essential. For Florida residents, refer to the Florida Wind Map or your building plans to determine the required wind load, or Design Pressure (DP) for your structure.

3. Determine Design Pressure (DP)

Design Pressure (DP) is a critical factor in selecting your hurricane system. Use the latest State of Florida conversion table to translate your location’s wind speed into the required DP rating. Ensuring your system meets or exceeds this rating guarantees optimal performance during extreme weather conditions.

4. Select Your System Dimensions

Choose the appropriate height, width, and panel configuration based on your project’s structural layout. Consider factors such as door clearance, available space, and operational convenience when determining system size.

5. Choose Your Folding Configuration

Select the best folding configuration for your needs. Options include inswing or outswing setups, center or side stacking, and the number of panels required to fit your space while maintaining functionality and aesthetics.

6.Review Finish Options

Your hurricane system should not only provide protection but also complement your architectural style. Choose from a variety of frame finishes, colors, and hardware options to match your project’s design. For personalized guidance, consult with our design specialists to find the ideal combination of durability and aesthetics.
