Hurricane fabric is quickly becoming a very popular choice in protecting your home during an approaching storm. While lightweight and extremely strong, hurricane fabric is very easy to install without needing the help of someone else. The fabric is secured along the edges of the opening using either studs and wingnuts, like a traditional panel system or by a threaded screw that screws directly into an anchor in your wall.
Hurricane fabric is an excellent choice for oddly shaped windows or large openings where traditional hurricane protection won’t work.

Common Questions:
What is hurricane fabric?
Hurricane fabric is a nylon hybrid fabric that is placed over your windows, doors, garage or lanai/patio openings to protect your home during a hurricane. Its high-strength fibers are woven and resin-coated, making it incredibly strong and safe. Hurricane fabric defends against wind, water and flying debris in excess of the Category 5 hurricane level!
Is it NOA/FL Building Code approved?
YES! Hurricane Fabric has passed the rigorous testing necessary to gain NOA approval (#15-0316.09) & Florida Building Code approval (#15208).
How strong is hurricane fabric?
Astroguard fabric is 55% stronger than most other hurricane fabrics. And, with a burst strength of well over 1,500lbs.
How is it stored?
Hurricane Fabric folds up neatly into its own storage bags, taking up little room in an attic, storage unit or garage.
Does it let light through?
Yes! Hurricane Fabric is translucent, so it lets light in through your windows, doors and lanai. Say goodbye to the “cave” feeling with plywood!
