After the passage of Cyclone Garance, La Réunion is assessing the extent of the damage. The teams at RIOU OCEAN GLASS are mobilizing to address the situation and raise awareness among stakeholders about the choice of glazing. By calculating wind resistance, RIOU OCEAN GLASS underscores the importance of installing safety glazing for all constructions within the Indian Ocean region.
With winds recorded at up to 230 km/h over Piton Sainte-Rose, La Réunion was placed under the cyclonic safeguard phase, a transitional stage during which the cyclone threat moves away, but dangers still remain.
Climate change and the extreme conditions we are experiencing once again highlight our role in glass innovation and the importance of offering glazing solutions tailored to the specific needs of the Indian Ocean territories.
The choice of glazing must meet the specific needs of your home or structure. It is therefore essential to consider various factors such as geographical location and the local climatic conditions specific to the Indian Ocean region.
“Given the safety coefficients, the mechanical constraints involved in working with glass are specific. Thus, tempered glass—which undergoes a thermal treatment that increases its mechanical strength—is a solution to the climatic challenges in construction. This treatment, in particular, creates an internal stress system within the glass that significantly enhances the resistance of the finished product,” explains Jimmy NATIVEL, Sales Manager at RIOU OCEAN GLASS.
Feel free to consult our experts to assist you in choosing your glazing by assessing the resistance of glass suitable for the climatic conditions.
