BRIGHTON, Mich. — Aug. 16, 2011 — Insulgard* Security Products – the industry leader in architectural security products – today announced new full lite architectural aluminum security doors that help protect emergency workers and the public from life-threatening hurricanes and tornados. This next-generation protection system combines Insulgard’s TH350 door and TH600 framing, TOR-GARD glazing material and Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) sheet from SABIC’s Innovative Plastics strategic business unit. The full lite architectural aluminum door meets Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and ICC-500 requirements for impact and pressure for tornado and hurricane shelters. Further, because it is transparent, the doors allows light to come in for improved ambiance.
