Storm Rail is a Fabric Guidance Option
Storm's innovative design locks the Hem Bar and fabric into the Guide Rail. This keeps the edges of the screen secure under pressure from high winds and shock from impact.
Smooth movement of the Hem Bar is achieved with a polyethylene ZIP Rail Guide, placed vertically along the entire length of the guide. Fabric slides are held in place by stainless steel compensation springs.
The ZIP system contained in the guide provides a reliable seal against light and heat along the edges of the fabric. The telescopic end caps are not fixed to the profile, which reduces stress on the fabric in the corners.
The addition of adjustable spacers makes the installation of the guides more precise. Guides can be quickly and easily plumbed for perfect positioning.
Storm Rail was subjected to the wind resistance test, at the Security & Safety Laboratory of Istituto Giordano, accredited by ACCREDIA.
Durability Tested 78mph wind Storm Rail was subjected to the wind resistance test, at the Security & Safety Laboratory of Istituto Giordano, accredited by ACCREDIA. The tests were carried out both according to the European test method UNI EN 1932: 2013 (classification UNI EN 13561: 2015), and according to the American standard ASTM E330/E330M-14 (coinciding with TAS 202, operating procedure of the Florida Building Code).
Storm Rail withstood a test pressure of 720 Pascales (78mph wind speed), far exceeding the maximum limit defined by the European standard of 480 Pa (Class 6)
Storm was subjected to an impact test (LARGE PROJECTILE) according to TAS 201. The goal was to test the screen’s resistance against debris thrown in a hurricane. Storm Rail was subjected to impacts with a solid object fired at 34 mph (15.2 m/s).
