Products used outside the continental United States are not covered under this warranty.

NON-IMPACT RESISTANT PRODUCTS
Any products sold as non-impact are manufactured as weather deterrent products, not burglar resistant or hurricane resistant. In case of hurricane, these products must be protected from flying debris.

LARGE MISSILE IMPACT RESISTANT PRODUCTS
Products sold as Impact Resistant comply with the Dade & Broward County Building Code requirements and the SBCCI Standard for Impact Resistant products (at specific test pressures). These requirements are designed to measure the performance of the glass and frame when struck with windblown debris and varying wind pressures. In order to pass these tests, the products must resist penetration from a length of 2 X 4 framing lumber weighing 9 pounds fired twice from an air canon at a speed of 34 miles per hour. After receiving the impacts, the product is subjected to push and pull forces at variable cycles to simulate both the strong positive winds and negative pressures of a hurricane. The products undergo 9,000 inward and outward wind pressure cycles every 1-3
seconds over an extended period of time.

“Other than as stated above, CGI makes no representations, warranties or guaranties, expressed or implied, as to the performance of these impact resistant products in an actual hurricane. Because of varying wind conditions that exist during a tropical storm or hurricane, these products are not guaranteed to keep all windborn objects and debris from penetrating the units”

Impact resistant products may get damaged during a tropical storm or hurricane. The Impact Resistance of the products does not imply that the products will not suffer damage or glass breakage during a tropical storm or hurricane.

Maintenance Requirements
• Hardware on windows and doors must be cleaned, debris removed and lubricated every six months.
• Aluminum, glass and weatherstripping must be washed with a mild soap solution (do not use abrasive cleaners) and a soft rag every three months. Glass surfaces can be cleaned with a commercial glass cleaner and paper towels as needed.
Products installed close to high salinity areas or within 1 mile of coastal regions should be maintained at half the intervals stated above. Products installed on beach front properties may require more frequent maintenance based on actual site conditions such as blowing sand and salt water spray.
