Behind the Innovation: The Story of SLIMPACT – curve

Innovation has always been at the heart of SLIMPACT’s operations. The mission to combine safety, elegance, and design flexibility led to the creation of the SLIMPACT – curve — a groundbreaking addition to a family of already-impressive frameless impact glazing solutions. This achievement represents a significant milestone in addressing market demands.

What Architects Desire

For years, architects and designers have expressed a strong desire for curved glass. They sought a solution that could maintain the uninterrupted views SLIMPACT is known for while introducing truly unique design possibilities.

The Essence of SLIMPACT

At its core, SLIMPACT embodies the perfect union of beauty, innovation, and performance. As the first frameless impact glazing system of its kind, SLIMPACT was designed specifically for the luxury residential and high-end commercial markets. Its patented line of hurricane impact windows and doors delivers unmatched elegance and safety, while meeting Florida’s stringent large missile impact requirements. This makes it the ultimate solution for luxury residential homes, automotive dealerships, exclusive retailers, and commercial entrances.

And so, the need for curved glass wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was about expanding creative horizons in architectural design, blending form with function seamlessly.

Pioneering Design Meets Rigorous Standards

Creating SLIMPACT – curve was no small feat. SLIMPACT’s engineering team rose to the challenge of delivering a product that not only achieved the aesthetic elegance of convex and concave curvature but also met the highest of safety standards. The engineering team subjected SLIMPACT – curve to extensive testing to ensure it could withstand the rigors of High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) conditions. The result? An HVHZ-rated product that provides architects and builders peace of mind without compromising on style.

Seamless Flat-to-Curved Transitions

One of the most remarkable features of SLIMPACT – curve is its ability to transition smoothly between flat and curved configurations. This versatility opens up endless design possibilities, allowing for creative expressions in both residential and commercial or retail projects. Whether it’s a luxury home with panoramic views or a high-end retail storefront that demands attention, SLIMPACT – curve adapts to the vision of its owners.

Redefining Architectural Possibilities

SLIMPACT – curve is more than just a product; it’s a statement of what’s possible when design and technology intersect. Its concave and convex configurations, with sizes reaching up to 96 inches wide and 168 inches high, redefine what’s achievable in modern architecture. With a tight radius of just 72 inches, this innovation brings even the most ambitious designs to life.
