Storm Panels & Hurricane Fabric
The Eyewall Armor® EA Hurricane Panels surpass the Florida Building Code, Texas and International Building code testing standards including the International Building and Residential ASTM standards, as well as the High Velocity Hurricane Zone found in Miami-Dade County. The Eyewall Armor® EA Hurricane Panels have Florida Building Code Product Approvals as well as Texas Department of Insurance Product Evaluations.
Eyewall Armor® EA Hurricane Panels are ready to take on even the most extreme weather conditions. They have been tested to perform in wind zones in excess of 180mph in accordance with the latest Florida Building Code and International Building Code wind standards (ASCE7-10). They are also tested for the 9-lb large 2” x 4” missile impact from windborne debris in accordance with the ASTM E1886/E1996 protocols, which are the most rigid in the world. The Aluminum .050” and .060” panels have also been tested for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone TAS 201-202 and 203 standards (the old Miami-Dade test standards). Clear Polycarbonate panels meeting the same testing standards are also available which can be used alone or mixed into our patented Clear/Metal/Clear applications which allows you to avoid that closed in “cave” feeling while waiting for the storm to hit and pass.
Eyewall Armor® Hurricane Fabric can be cut to fit in a factory or right on the job by virtually anyone in a minimal amount of time with basic tools. As with all Eyewall Armor® Hurricane Protection products, the EA Hurricane Fabric is tested to the 9-lb large missile to meet and exceed all Florida, Texas and International Building Code test standards.
This incredibly strong material is similar to ballistic Nylon with a weatherproof coating that attaches with easy to use clips which you can adjust on the job for ultimate placement. The fabric is semi-translucent so you can avoid that closed in "cave" feeling. It is lightweight for ease of installation and rolls up for simple easy storage almost anywhere. Unlike most of our competitors, the EA Hurricane Fabric is solid. It has no small pores to allow water to freely pass through which can lead to additional damage to your home.
