Todd Glaser, Mark Fisher & Ron Simkins Launches New Anti-Water Intrusion Device

Key Points

• Patented kit developed by luxury home builder Todd Glaser, oil trader Mark Fisher, and Ron Simkins to prevent water intrusion through sliding glass doors.

• Nearly $3 million invested; kits cost $586 and are available at Home Depot and online for preorder.

• Proven performance: tests at FIU’s Wall of Wind show up to 97% prevented water intrusion; StormArmour claims nearly 99% effectiveness.

What Is StormArmour?

• A patented, reusable, and lightweight system that secures onto sliding glass doors.

• Comprises an exterior guard, interior seal, foam wedge for track sealing, and drain channel.

• Ensures door operation is normal even when installed—no boarding up required.

Why It Matters

• Since Hurricane Irma (2017), wind‑ and rain‑driven water intrusion has been a major damage vector—especially in high-rises.

• Traditional methods (e.g., sandbags, tape) are ineffective and cumbersome.

• StormArmour's entry at Home Depot and industry press exposure (with FEMA and Governor DeSantis at ribbon cutting) signals mainstream adoption.

Backed by Science

• Fully tested in FIU’s renowned Wall of Wind facility (capable of simulating Category 5 winds).

• Water-repelling results: 97–99% reduction in intrusion, snowballing confidence across developers and insurers.

• Backed by Tecnoglass partnership; kit will ship with glass doors in select new constructions.

Market & Installation Potential

• Targeted at homebuyers, condo-owners, and high-rises—especially developers and window manufacturers like Miami’s ES Windows.

• Buildings like The Bristol in West Palm are piloting full-scale installations, unlocking disaster mitigation program credits like My Safe Florida Condo.

• With above-average 2025 hurricane forecasts, demand for retrofit solutions is expected to surge.

Investor's Takeaway

• Immediate ROI: High-value condos face costly post-storm repairs—prevention is cheaper than remediation.

• Scalable product: From consumer retail to B2B licensing with glass makers and developers.

• Policy tailwinds: Grant eligibility, building-code relevance, and increasing insurer interest support uptake.
