Hurricane Fabric’s policy is one of Constant Innovation
We have developed the most advanced hurricane protection screen system.Our high modulus fiber clip is flexible with a higher overall tensile strength, giving your hurricane storm screen the flex they need to decelerate fast-moving objects and protect your assets from damage.
Our unique, patented high modulus fiber clip is completely adjustable and flexible. The result is a screen that decelerates objects faster, costs less, and is safer than hurricane protection shutters. We Engineer Performance.

Attention Citizens Propery Insurance customers
Are you in danger of losing your homeowner's insurance for lack of hurricane protection? Astro-Flex Hurricane Fabric is Citizens Insurance approved and meets the requirements for wind mitigation. This is not only one of the least expensive ways you can meet your insurance requirements, but also one of the strongest, safest ways to protect your home from hurricane damage."

Load Disbursement Hurricane Protection Fabric System
Hurricane Fabric's load disbursement system is the only hurricane screen system that addresses some basic engineering problems with many hurricane screens systems today -while solving the problem.

When fabric was 1st used in the United States, the testing labs geared all their tests towards metal products. Many of the tests became more stringent after Hurricane Andrew. The problem with using these same tests for fabric products centers around the separation of the wind and impact tests - such as the Miami/Dade PA 201.

Fabric is different than metal and is visibly stretched back during a storm. The problem with using tests geared towards metal products is that when the fabric is in this stretched position - it is significantly more vulnerable to not stop an impact.

Hurricane Fabric's system corrects this defect using a flexible clip that allows for a screen to receive and impact even if there is a wind load on it.

How could the testing labs miss this?
Simple, they relied on the manufacturers to test in good faith and fabric was not widely used. No one said anything, until now.

..Tests for fabric products centers around the separation of the wind and impact tests - such as the Miami/Dade PA 201..

Our system is different - as the wind gets stronger, it flexes and reduces and disburses the wind load. It''s such a great idea - its patent pending. Choose Hurricane Fabric and be safer during a Hurricane.

Small Missile Fabric vs. Large Missile Impact Screens
Hurricane protection screens developed by HurricaneFabric.com are the 1st hurricane screens to meet and recognize the differences between hurricane screens that are designed for large openings and screens that better protect smaller openings.

The Japanese fishermen who would place woven fishing nets along buildings to protect from typhoons started the hurricane fabric industry. Sometimes the men would double and triple up these nets, depending on the strength of the impending storm.

From these men, we learned that screens have an ability to decelerate objects and wind, prior to taking the brunt force of the impact.

Think about it like this:
If you throw a baseball at a sailboat sail, and it's a small sail you are aiming at, you may be able to get the baseball to go through if the baseball is thrown hard enough at the corner of the sail, (Especially true if the anchor point is a static grommet - similar to all of our competitors.).

Now think about Hurricane Fabric's flex clip around that same small sailboat sail. (our clip would have given the sail a fighting chance). Conversely, think about throwing that same baseball at a sailboat sail that is 100 feet tall, the natural luft in the material will decelerate the ball before it has a chance to penetrate (no matter how close you are to that sailboat sail).

Similar to the use of large missile hurricane impact glass and small missile impact glass: we are the first hurricane screen manufacturer to recognize the difference between a large and a small hurricane protection screens. Smaller screens have less surface area to react to an impact - so we have developed a more flexible version of our High Modulus Clip to better handle large missile impacts on smaller openings. Our flex clip aids in the screens ability to decelerate an object. Static anchor points such as grommets used by our competition, do not have this ability.

Many building departments such as Miami/Dade Approval process and Florida Building Code FBC require that screen companies test a large screen. This allowance for one screen size tested, however, was based upon the metal products that had been tested for years where the "larger the accordion shutter", the weaker it is. Metal panels, accordion shutters, impact glass both small missile and large missile hurricane glass get weaker as they get larger.

Not completely true when it comes to hurricane protection screens. Hurricane Fabric.com's system is the only system that tests both large and small screens, and the only hurricane screen manufacturer that independently tests (already approved) hurricane hardware.
