Hurricanes spur window improvements

JASON EASTERLY / Special to the Daily News

Hurricane Test Laboratories of Riviera Beach, Fla., uses an air cannon to launch a 2x4 through a normal window at 34 miles per hour. The test simulated what could happen during a category 5 hurricane. The test was then redone using a CGI impact resistant window as a demonstration during the CGI Windows & Doors Architectural Symposium held at the Hyatt Regency in Naples on Friday morning.
