For the accessory finish, the color of the accessory must correspond to the side that it is locate at. If the window/door is closed, customers must be able to see each side (internal/external) on just one finish.
When there are screens, they may not apply to this condition. On systems like the 46T, hinges and cylinders may be visible from the exterior, in that case the external finish would be the color of it. In the case of other systems or sets of both handle finishes may be sent for the customer to install accordingly (internal/external) on site.

A small missile impact glass (SMI) usually has a thinner interlayer compared to a large missile impact glass (LMI). This difference is due to the different types of conditions they are exposed to.
The small missile impact glass/system will be used in higher locations of a building (4th floor and above usually) because it needs to resist high velocity winds. For SMI glass products it’s common to work with gasket.
Large missile impact glass/systems are located on the first floors (3rd floor or below usually) were a heavy impact is more likely to happen. Therefore, the interlayer gap must be stronger. Usually the LMI glass will be sealed with structural silicone.
Not all series are tested for the same velocity rates.
There is a formula to calculate these velocities based on the pressures shown by their certification (NOA/FBC)
For example: An ES-EL100 with Hi-rise Sill has pressures of +/-80 means your window was tested with the following velocity:
MPH: Sqrt of 80/0.00256= 176.78
HS is short for Heat Strengthened which means a glass has received resistance treatment.
Some properties of HS are listed below:
