Additional Information and Specifications:

Fabric Shield Storm Panels are a highly-effective alternative to steel, aluminum, or plywood hurricane panels. These PVC-coated woven hurricane fabric panels are tested extensively to block wind, rain, and storm-driven debris. So no matter how intense a hurricane or storm is, these fabric storm panels won’t break or let any damage to the home.

The hurricane fabric is checked for quality and passes Miami Dade protocol for wind pressure and large missle impact.

Since metal storm panels are too bulky, installation is quite tedious. But that’s not the case with fabric hurricane shutters, as they are lightweight, easy to put up and take down, and can be rolled up or folded for convenient storage.

These hurricane window panels are translucent, which allows natural light to enter, unlike the metal panels.

Fabric hurricane shutters cost less than half the price compared to steel or aluminum panels, meaning they’re a cost-effective solution for weather protection.

Fabric storm panels are available in both standard sizes. So whatever be the size of windows and doors, they can be easily covered by this heavy-duty hurricane fabric.

DIY Friendly:

Installing metal or wooden storm panels can be a task, as they are too heavy and, in most cases, need professional installation. However, fabric storm panels can be installed simply by clamping them to the windows and doors. Also, they can be deployed quickly by anyone as the weather outside worsens.
