Storm Glass Products & Solutions
Ideal for protecting your family, staff and property during cyclones and severe storm conditions, our storm glass solution is certified debris impact resistant glass specifically developed to resist excessive wind speeds and penetration from flying debris.
In the unlikely event the storm glass is damaged by flying storm debris, StormShield® remains weather-tight without tearing or breaching the window envelope.
The secret is superior laminating technology, a specially formulated ultra-high grade laminate used in the manufacturing process, engineered for the glass to expand and contract up to five times its normal rate before breaking.
Fully certified for use in Regions C and D in Australia and the Pacific Islands, tested and evaluated by independent NATA certified facilities showing a successful resistance without perforation* for both large and small debris impact demonstrating compliance to the AS/NZS 1170.2 2011 code and being fit for purpose.
*Tested as a system, both StormShield® and the glazing frame including fixture to the subframes and building structures.

Our Storm Glass Product Offerings
StormShield®
StormShield® consists of a range of cyclone-rated glass products, specifically designed to meet various region-specific conditions. It is manufactured with a specially formulated, ultra-high grade laminate that allows it to expand and contract up to five times its normal rate before breaking. As such, it is strong enough to resist the excessive wind speeds and penetration from flying debris that can be characteristic of inclement weather in these regions.
Even if a debris impact is forceful enough to break StormShield® the shattered glass will remain adhered to the laminate. This keeps the glass weathertight and prevents shards from spraying across the indoor space.
Most cyclone-rated glass is available in only one standard thickness, but StormShield® stands out from its competitors because it is available in a wider variety of sizes and thicknesses. This makes it highly customizable and able to fit multiple projects and specifications.
E-zone Glass®
E-zone Glass® cyclone-rated glass is a slightly modified version of StormShield. E-zone Glass® is specially made with invisible, embedded heat-reflecting materials to reduce solar heat gain, which allows light to enter but reflects much of the accompanying heat. This is ideal for hotter temperatures when you want to keep your window coverings open but don’t want your rooms to get too hot. E-zone Glass® can be reconfigured to retain heat inside the room while still letting light pass through, for cold environments.
Island Glass & Mirror offers a range of customizable solutions, and our team of experts is trained to work with you to find the right solutions for your specific requirements. Contact us today to learn more about finding the right glass for your project.
StormShield uses specially formulated ultra-high grade laminate in the manufacturing process, engineered so the glass can expand and contract up to five times its normal rate before breaking, providing protection from wind born debris.
Ezone Glass is a Thermal Resistant Cyclone Rated Glass, boasting the same ultra-high grade laminate with additional thermal advantages and flood resistance.
