FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFTI <\/strong>FIRST<\/strong><\/em>\u00ae\u2019S GPX<\/em> HURRICANE FIRE RESISTIVE WALL AND DOOR SYSTEM NOW LISTED WITH TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRISBANE, CA (March 15, 2017)<\/strong> \u2013 SAFTI <\/strong>FIRST<\/strong><\/em>\u00ae, leading USA-manufacturer of advanced fire rated glass and framing systems, is pleased to announce that the GPX Hurricane System is now listed with the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). This distinguishes SAFTI FIRST as the first and only fire rated glass and framing manufacturer to receive product evaluation documents two categories: Curtain Walls & Storefront Systems Impact Resistant<\/a> (Evaluation ID# CWF-50) and Hinged Doors<\/a> \u2013 Aluminum \u2013 Impact Resistant (Evaluation ID# DR-789). The GPX Hurricane Wall and Door system satisfy TDI\u2019s criteria for protection from windborne debris in Inland I and Seaward Zones, with wind speeds up to 120 mph and 130 mph respectively. According to ATI\u2019s Informational Bulletin #31: Updated Impact Requirements for Building Components<\/a>, \u201cAll door and window products sold in the coastal catastrophe area must be approved by the Texas Department of Insurance.\u201d The TDI designated catastrophe area includes 14 first-tier counties that are immediately adjacent to the Gulf Coast and portions of Harris County that are East of State Highway 146.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having readily available TDI-approved product evaluation documents for the GPX Hurricane Wall and Door Systems give designers, owners and building officials the assurance of having a tested and listed glazed assembly that has been successfully evaluated to meet the strictest fire and hurricane requirements. This becomes especially important if the commercial structure is insured by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association for windstorm and hail insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from TDI, the GPX Hurricane System also has complete Florida Product Approval and UL Certifications for Wind-Resistant Building Components. SAFTI <\/strong>FIRST<\/strong><\/em>\u00ae was the first manufacturer to introduce a tested and listed fire resistive and hurricane rated glazed wall and door assembly in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
