E-zone Glass - Thermal Resistant Cyclone Glass

E-zone Glass® 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.
Glasshape® has recently improved its E-zone Glass product range and we are now offering combined product solutions for both Region C&D, E-zone Glass Ultra & E-zone Glass Extreme. These two new product variants provide multifaceted enhancements to combat the conditions experienced in both regions, E-zone Glass Ultra for impact resistance up to 39m/s & E-zone Glass Extreme for impacts up to 44m/s. E-zone Glass products are the only available annealed laminated product solution for Cyclone Resistance that can be cut and processed from stock sheets and available from our local stockists.

E-zone Glass® - Enhanced Features

BAL 40 (Bushfire Attack Level 40)
Glasshape in partnership with Australia’s preeminent Aluminium Window & Door distributors, Alspec, AWS & Capral successfully tested our products to BAL 40 compliance in a range of commercial and domestic window suites. A chart listing these window suites can be found in our Certified Window Frame Systems brochure.
StormShield® products were tested in accordance with AS 1530.8.1:2018 by Warringtonfire and deemed to comply to BAL 40 when glazed in tested window systems. Glasshape is now the only provider of a product that complies with both the Cyclonic Impact requirements & Bushfire Rating (BAL 40) requirements in an annealed cuttable glass product.



Flood Resistance
Taking cyclone resistant glass to a completely new level, E-zone Glass® has been tested for performance in flood conditions. E-zone Glass® has been hydrostatically tested and certified for resistance against rising flood waters which are prevalent in cyclonic weather. Wind is only one factor that causes extensive damage to buildings and property throughout fierce storms. Rising flood waters up against windows (especially in a shop front) can cause extensive water damage if the window fails. E-zone Glass® is designed to handle water pressures well beyond what is normal for its thickness due to the ultra-robust laminate interlayer between the glass sheets.

Enhanced Sound Attenuation
Recent testing undertaken by CSIRO and evaluation by a consulting acoustic engineer has ratified the sound attenuation benefits of our cyclonic range of products at a better sound reduction level than previously stated.

E-zone Glass® - Testing & Certification - AS3555.1-2003
Specifically developed to resist excessive wind speeds and penetration from flying debris, E-zone Glass® is a certified debris impact resistant glass ideal for protecting your family, staff and property during cyclones.
The secret is the specially formulated ultra-high grade laminate used in the manufacturing process, which absorbs the impact of the debris without tearing or breaching the window envelope. This means even in the event the glass is damaged by flying storm debris, E-zone Glass® remains weather-tight to protect the structural integrity of the building and ensure the safety of the occupants.
Major insurance companies and Local Shire Councils have approved E-zone Glass® for use in North Western Australia, Queensland, Fiji and other Pacific regions.
Certified to AS/NZS1170.2:2011 (Cyclone Impact Resistance), AS4040.2:1992, AS4040.3:1992 (Static & Cyclic Wind loading) and AS/NZS2208:1996 (Safety glazing materials in buildings), E-zone Glass® ticks all the boxes for compliance and certification.
