Important Safety Information:

Pella® HurricaneShield

®

 products have been tested in accordance with the large missile impact 

testing requirements of ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996. Pella HurricaneShield products are 
neither hurricane proof nor are they shatter proof. Severe wind and rain may produce 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. The performance of any building is dependent upon the design, installation, 
and workmanship of the entire building system. Pella Corporation strongly recommends consulting 
an experienced architect, contractor, or structural engineer prior to installation of Pella products. 

The individual (building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer) responsible for the 
project must take into account local conditions, building codes, inherent component limitations, 
the effects of aging and weathering on building components, and other design issues relevant to each 
project. The determination of the suitability of all building components for each project, as well 
as the design and installation of flashing and sealing systems, are the responsibility of the building 
owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer.
