South Bend, IN (PRWEB) June 20, 2012

The IndigoGarden DistrictHotel, which has been closed since 2008 after the economic devastation of Hurricane Katrina will be installing theThermolite Window Systemto mitigate noise and prevent its windows from being destroyed byhurricane winds.

The Thermolite Window System installation will begin in June 2012 and will be installed on the inside of thehotelas a supplement to its existing windows to help fortify the building from damage caused by window breakage and implosion as a result of hurricane winds.

Hotelmanagement was looking for a way to reduce noise transmission from room to room and also to protect the building--but want to make sure that any work didnt change the architectural look and feel of thehotel, stated Therm-O-Lite Inc. President Steve Champlin. The Thermolite Window System is a great fit for thehotelbecause we are able to reduce the noise levels, provide piece of mind, reduce their energy consumption and the system won't change the look of the windows.

Hurricane winds can cause significant damage tohotelsand other buildings when the windows are compromised. When the windows have imploded and broken, the air pressure in the building changes and can cause structural collapse and significant damage to the building--including causing the roof to lift off--and can be deadly to building occupants.
