About the materials we use

Our Hurricane Screens Specifications

• When correctly installed in every window and door, our hurricane screen deflects and reduces the main wind and water forces, allowing only about 3% of these elements to penetrate the fabric.  In other words, 150 mph hurricane-force winds on one side of the screen will feel like a 4∏ mph breeze on the other side. This light breeze isn't enough to even mess up the inside of your house!
  
  
• Another great advantage of our material is that it's translucent, thus allowing you to see what's happening outside.  It lets light in so you don't feel trapped and closed up in a hermetically sealed wooden box.
  
  
• Have you thought about how complicated, expensive, heavy and labor-intensive it is to protect your doors and windows with plywood, Lexan  panels or other hurricane shutter systems?  Not to mention the unpleasant impact on your home's esthetics with classic hurricane shutters.  What would happen if those aluminum shutters were to bend or the rails were damaged?  You would not be able to get out of your property in case of an emergency, thus putting your life in danger.
  
  
• Not only that, but there are those who prefer not to remove their hurricane protection during the season just in case of another storm. So, they live in what seems like a state of seige.  Furthermore, when you remove other types of hurricane protectors, you have to plaster over the holes left in the walls.  Whe you need to put protection up again, y can't attach them to the same spots because the wall has weakened where the holes were drilled.  So, you will have to re-drill elsewhere, thus weakening another section of wall.
  
  
• Then, what are you going to do with all that new wood you used to protect your home and belongings?  Are you just going to throw it out?  We have to be environmentally conscious but often because of the need to protect ourselves, the environment can wait but  we forget we're using natural resources and contributing to the loss of forests and jungles.
