Flood barrier glazing system

Crawford-Tracey Corporation's Pro-Tech Flood Barrier system includes the Pro-Tech 7SG FB and Pro-Tech 9SG FB, which meets the increasing demand for property protection and evolving building code requirements. It is a unitized structurally glazed curtain wall and storefront system that has a water-resistant rating of 100 PSF and has now been tested and approved by FM Approvals per the ANSI/FM 2510 testing standard as a flood rated passive glazing system for opening barrier applications. The Pro-Tech 7SG FB is a structurally glazed 7-inch profile curtain wall and storefront system, and the Pro-Tech 9SG FB is a similar glazing system with a 9-inch profile to meet taller spans and withstand higher wind and flood loads.

Key features:

  • FM Approved and certified per ANSI/FM 2510, Flood Abatement Standard
  • Hurricane impact-rated system with a static wind pressure water-resistance rating of 100 PSF, the industry's highest rating, and is now currently approved to resist 4 feet and 7 feet of flood water with floating debris impact. 
  • Maintains a clear view and aesthetic, without a bulky surrounding framework, while effectively safeguarding against flood events 24/7.
  • Capable of withstanding winds exceeding 195 mph with approval by Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida for hurricane-impact resistance.
  • Meets the requirements for both large missile impact and small missile impact applications.
  • Competitive price when compared to other flood barrier curtain wall systems.
