Impact Windows

IDEAL Door is the first in the garage door industry to offer impact resistant windows!
 The new Florida Building Code, which became effective March 2002, requires that most coastal areas use only windows that can withstand 350 foot-pounds of impact energy. As a result, IDEAL Door has developed windows to meet this new stricter code. These new windows offer the following features and benefits:
• Smooth, structurally enhanced window frame.
• Strong, durable, UV resistant clear Lexan™ glazing.
• Offered up to and including W6 WindCode® doors (not available in Miami-Dade or Broward Counties).
• Available in white, brown, sandtone, and almond colors.

Available on models in value series doors in these looks:
LEXAN™ Cleaning/Care Instructions

Minimizing Hairline Scratches
Scratches and minor abrasions can be minimized by using a mild automobile polish. It is recommended that a small area be tested with the product selected following the manufacturer’s recommended instructions prior to use on a complete window. Listed below are three products that are marketed to polish and fill scratches:
• Johnson Paste Wax
• Novus Plastic Polish #1 & #2 (Novus, Inc., Minneapolis, MN)
• Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish (M.G. M10) (Mirror Bright Polish Co., Pasadena, CA)

Graffiti/Paint Removal
The following products can be used for removing graffiti or paint from the LEXAN™ panel:
• Butyl cellosolve
• Masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools work well for lifting off old weathered paints
• To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene, VM&P naphtha or petroleum spirits is generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate the sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.

GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.

• DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners
• Never scrape LEXAN™ with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments
