Model i201 Impact & High Performance Windows
Performance Put to the Test
For your own safety and protection, building codes in coastal areas are now stricter and more demanding in terms of materials and product performance. To meet or exceed theses codes, the i201 Impact Windows and High Performance Windows are build to exacting specifications and put the test.
Destructive winds are no match for Impact Windows and High Performance Windows. Using independent American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) - accredited laboratories, our windows are exposed to extreme wind and vigorous water resistance testing. All windows are tested to ASTM E547 for water resistance and ASTM E283 for air infiltration, and must meet or exceed performance standards for resistance to air and water penetration.
Will the window survive an extremely hard hit from a large object - such as a heavy 2 x 4? That’s the proving ground in this test involving a series of impacts against the window or door from a “large missile” - a 9 lb. wood 2 x 4 - calibrated at 50ft. per second upon release, directed against the glass. After the window passes this test, it is then subjected to positive and negative pressure for 9,000 rapid cycles up to 100% of the design pressure. Every element of this test must be passed to conform to the ASTM E1886 and E1996 testing criteria. The i201 Impact Windows are also tested for air and water infiltration, as well as forced entry to meet the testing criteria of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-5.
Made to exact tolerances and using only the best raw materials, our vinyl extrusions are built to withstand the extreme heat and humidity. Specifically in the AAMA Heat Resistance Test (AAMA 303.5), our vinyl profiles must endure heat exposure of 300 degrees Fahrenheit without blistering or cracking. In addition, our vinyl extrusions undergo the AAMA Dimensional Stability Test, which measures a vinyl profile’s tested to these standards and other industry criteria, AMI’s i201 Impact Windows and High Performance Windows consistently surpass benchmarks for quality and endurance.
Color & Grid Options
High Performance and Impact Windows are available in decorative options to fit any look, any need, and any design. Start by selecting beautiful white or beige or a light oak, dark or cherry woodgrain interior to finish and complement your window exactly the way you want.
