Leading window manufacturer also announces first AIA-approved seminar, “Wind Provisions and US Standards and Codes.” WALPOLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stergis Windows and Doors, renowned manufacturer of custom and commercial building products and a leading innovator of protective window technology, will launch two new high-performance window lines next month at the Build Boston Tradeshow (Booth #852), which takes place November 13-15 at the Seaport World Trade Center. Stergis will unveil its new line of PVC replacement and new construction windows made with PVB .090 Laminated Impact glass. The protective design exceeds performance standards for large missile impact outlined in the International Building Code, which tests windows for air, water, and wind-load resistance through cyclic hurricane-force wind simulation. Stergis, which has been in business since 1959, becomes New England’s first major provider of this type of impact window. “We’re proud to offer this type of impact window design, most of which are manufactured in Florida, to architects and contractors in New England,” says company president Gus Stergis. “Our participation in the American Window Alliance (AWA) has pushed us ahead of the curve in protective window design, and we can now employ this technology to meet our customers’ specific needs.” Impact-resistant windows contain a plastic interlayer laminated between two panes of glass. Stergis Impact Windows feature Stainless Coastal Hardware, and are available in a wide variety of sizes, configurations (e.g. fixed, sliding, or casement) and colors. Show goers can also learn about Stergis’s one-hour seminar “Wind Provisions and US Standards and Codes,” its first AIA-approved course counting towards Continuing Education System (CES) credits required for the professional development architects and design specialists in New England.
