Wildfire Protection for the Palisades
In areas like the Palisades, wildfires don’t just threaten homes with flames. In reality, embers, heat, and heavy smoke are often the real problem, and windows and vents are two of the primary weak points. Zola Firewall Windows are built with laminated and tempered glass, reinforced frames, and multi-point locking systems designed to help the window stay intact under extreme conditions. When you combine this with tight air sealing, the construction of our Firewall windows helps limit ember entry and reduce smoke infiltration. Together, this provides homes with an added layer of protection during wildfire events without relying on a single line of defense.

Zola windows undergo rigorous fire and heat resistance testing to ensure safety and durability. These tests involve exposing the exterior surface of the window units to burning embers and then subjecting them to a hot plate heated to 1472°F (800°C). This process simulates extreme fire exposure and helps verify the integrity of the window system under high thermal stress. Zola’s Aluminum and Clad Wood Firewall lines have been tested and passed the California Fire Marshal SFM standards.
Looting, Vandalism, and Burglar Proof
No Zola lock or window frame has been opened by an intruder to date. Zola Firewall Windows with triple glazing feature additional enhancements such as riot-proof glass — watch this video of a Zola team member trying to destroy such a glass assembly with a sledgehammer.
