Comprehensive Testing
To ensure maximum performance in the field, Marvin applies persistent pressure tests of 9,000 cycles to simulate hurricane-force winds.
Products are tested using an 8-foot-long, 2" x 4" stud launched at 50 feet per second to ensure they withstand impact to the center and corners.

Are hurricane windows the same as impact windows?
Some impact windows are designed specifically for areas frequented by hurricanes or hurricane conditions. The level of protection varies. Talk to a contractor, architect, or structural engineer to understand the applicable building codes in your region.
What can impact windows withstand?
Premium impact windows are engineered to withstand high winds and flying debris generated by severe storms and hurricanes.
What wind speed are impact windows rated for?
Products with impact-resistant glass are rated for their ability to withstand wind speeds in various, predetermined wind debris zones called Impact Zones, or IZ for short. Areas prone to hurricanes and storms involving high wind speeds are categorized into four zones, each with their own building code certification standards.
