What actually makes a window system “hurricane-resistant” beyond the glass?

Short answer: Laminated safety glass, reinforced frames, and stronger anchoring systems — often
paired with additional protection systems like lonas anticiclónicas and mallas anticiclónicas for large
openings.
Why it matters: Buyers often focus only on the glass itself. The frame and anchoring are just as critical
to how a window performs during a storm.
What to check:
● Ask about frame reinforcement and anchoring method, not just glass type
● Confirm whether a lona or malla anticiclónica system is planned for your largest openings
● Get anchoring specifications in writing, especially for oversized glass walls or sliding doors
Bottom line: A hurricane-resistant window is a full assembly — glass, frame, and anchoring together —
not just a glass upgrade.
