E-zone® Cyclone Resistant Glass offers all the protection and peace of mind as StormShield®, with the added benefit of moderating Solar Heat Gain.

The pyrolitic process used in the manufacture of E-zone cyclone resistant glass embeds invisible heat-reflective materials into the glass. This allows light to enter, but reflects much of the inbound heat, increasing comfort. Conversely in cool climates we can configure E-zone to maximize heat retention.

Hydrostatic pressure testing has demonstrated that E-zone can provide substantially superior flood resistance when installed in a certified flood resistant frame compared to standard laminates.

Supplier Reviews

1 / 6

“Glasshape provided us with a bent glass experience that was professional and on-time, delivering quality glass panels to our specifications and sizing, with minimal, if any remakes, considering the number of panels involved. Their packaging of glass for transportation to site was particularly good, and we would have no issue using them on future iconic projects.”
