“Hurricane Glazing – Impact Performance & Beyond” | August 13, 2025 | 12:00 PM ET
Kuraray invites architects, engineers, and building professionals to an insightful AIA-approved webinar on hurricane-resistant glazing systems. Titled “Hurricane Glazing – Impact Performance & Beyond,” the session will be led by Vaughn Schauss, a renowned technical expert in glazing solutions.
This webinar will focus on designing façade systems that meet the stringent demands of wind-borne debris zones. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of relevant building codes and testing standards, including ASTM E1886 and E1996, which govern missile-impact and pressure cycling performance.
Key discussion points include the advantages of laminated glass in safeguarding essential infrastructure, the differences between PVB and SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers, and the performance trade-offs between dry- and wet-glazed systems. Beyond impact protection, the session will touch on critical secondary benefits such as energy efficiency, intrusion resistance, bomb blast mitigation, and tornado resilience. 
With wind-borne debris posing serious threats in hurricane-prone regions, proper glazing can prevent internal pressurization, structural failure, and costly damage. This educational opportunity equips professionals with the tools to design safer, code-compliant, and more resilient buildings.
