requirements and have been certified to meet those requirements. Check with the individual (building 

owner, architect, contractor, installer and/ or consumer) responsible for the project in addition to local 

building code officials to determine if these products comply with local codes. Pella HurricaneShield

temporary conditions which exceed product performance standards. When these units are subjected to 

intense storms or extreme conditions, which exceed the intended design pressures, air, water and flying 

debris infiltration may occur.
