Hurricane Impact Systems
In hurricane-prone coastal regions, fenestration is the building envelope’s most critical line of defense. Impact-resistant windows, doors, and façade systems must withstand large-missile impact, debris penetration, and intense cyclic pressure from major storm events — all while maintaining structural integrity and weather-tight performance.
Tiltco engineers, tests, and manufactures high-performance hurricane-impact aluminum systems purpose-built for these conditions, helping architects, developers, and homeowners meet stringent code requirements across Florida, Texas, the Caribbean Islands, and other high-wind zones, without compromising design.
Tiltco offers advanced systems from Schüco — including the AWS 90.SI+ window, ADS 90.SI impact door, and ASS 77 PD.HI lift-and-slide system — and from Reynaers Aluminium, including the MasterLine 8 HI, CS 77 HI, and CP 155 HI systems. Each profile is engineered for high-impact resistance and demanding coastal performance requirements.

Schüco Systems — AWS 90.SI+ tilt & turn window, ADS 90.SI impact door, and ASS 77 PD.HI panoramic lift-and-slide system for large-span openings.
Reynaers Aluminium Systems — MasterLine 8 HI window, CS 77 HI tilt-and-turn window, and CP 155 HI large-format lift-and-slide door.
All systems are independently tested and carry Florida Product Approval, Miami-Dade County NOA, and/or Texas TDI windstorm certification.
Hurricane Impact Testing in Action
Watch Tiltco’s hurricane-impact systems undergo large-missile impact and cyclic pressure testing — the most stringent performance benchmarks in the industry. Our systems are purpose-built to protect coastal buildings while maintaining architectural elegance.
Testing & Certification Standards
All Tiltco hurricane-impact systems undergo rigorous, independent laboratory testing and carry the following certifications:
Impact Testing
All systems are tested to ASTM E1886 and ASTM E1996 standards, including:
• Large-missile impact (9 lb 2×4 at 50 fps)
• Small-missile impact (fragmented glass simulation)
• Cyclic wind-pressure loading per Florida Building Code protocols
Florida Product Approval
Systems are approved under the Florida Building Code (FBC) and listed with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
Miami-Dade County NOA
Carrying Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) — the most stringent hurricane-product certification in the United States.
Texas Department of Insurance (TDI)
Systems meet TDI windstorm requirements for designated wind zones in Texas.
AAMA / NFRC
Thermal and structural performance ratings certified by AAMA and NFRC for energy compliance.
Miami-Dade NOA — the most stringent hurricane-product certification in the United States.

I placed the order with confidence and peace of mind.
When ordering I met with Tiltco and explained my requirements for noise reduction since my house backs onto a main railway track. They provided a few options and explained in detail the pros and cons of each one which helped me decide on the most cost effective solution.
The expertise, patience and sales technique was very refreshing. I placed the order with confidence and peace of mind that I was buying an excellent product.
During installation, they called to set-up an appointment to take precise measurements and were right on time and very effective in explaining how the installation was going to be performed. They performed an exemplary install job leaving no mess in any room. My beautiful hardwood floor survived without a scratch. They were also very polite and pleasant to talk to. Kudos to Mick and his team!
The windows and the patio door exceeded my expectations in terms of noise reduction. It also helps that they are gorgeous to look at and extremely easy to operate. Needless to say, I will recommend Tiltco to all my friends.
