Learn about Pressure Ratings - Keeping your windows safe form high wind speeds...Imagine that we now look at a window rated to DP15. Sounds darn low and no one in their right mind would want a DP15? Well, 15psf actually equates to about an 80mph wind. Now, as mentioned, the window is actually tested to a level 1.5 times higher than the rating, which for a DP15 equals 22.5psf, and that equals an approximate 95mph wind speed. So while a 15DP doesn't look like much, it really isn't bad at all and it is probably acceptable for any application in the right environment.
