Monsoon Proof

In coastal areas, 'monsoon precipitation rates' are extremely high. Worse, the monsoon storms arrive on the back of high velocity winds. The combined force of the wind and the rain annihilates conventional windows. The force is magnified in high-rise buildings, where rain spears in at a sharp 45^o angle, accompanied by a gale storm.

Conventional solutions don’t work: The 'face drainage' mechanism in conventional UPVC windows is inadequate for heavy monsoon areas as the force of the wind pushes the rainwater indoors.


Fenesta has engineered three innovations to keep the rain out.

• Rain track: An elevated section clipped on the inside track of the window functions like a dam. It captures rainwater and   drains it out.
• Sill arrangement: This special system prevents air pressure from pushing the rainwater indoors. Instead, the rainwater   flows down vertically, at some distance from the outer wall.
• Gradient slope: A track at a downward slope of 5 degrees ensures accumulated rainwater flows out.
