AstroGuard is shaking up the hurricane protection marketplace.  You probably know that hurricane fabric is quickly displacing traditional hurricane shutters, and now AstroGuard has emerged as the next generation of hurricane fabric. It combines a high-strength, high-tenacity nylon hybrid fabric with an ultra-durable, UV resistant resin coating.  The result?  Hurricane protection that is stronger, easier to own and more affordable.

 

 FAQ's

Is AstroGuard Florida Building Code approved?
Yes.  AstroGuard has passed the stringent requirements necessary to gain approval by the Florida Building Code, Approval #12573.  In addition, AstroGuard is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) status, which is a subset of the FBC.  This is reserved for very few hurricane protection systems that can protect the most at-risk areas such as islands and beachfront homes.

How heavy is AstroGuard?
AstroGuard weighs about 11 ounces per square yard.  This means that a typical window opening covered with AstroGuard would weigh less than two pounds.

What is AstroGuard’s warranty?
AstroGuard carries a ten year limited warranty.  Click here for details.

Can I leave AstroGuard up for the entire hurricane season?
Yes.  You can safely deploy AstroGuard and leave it up for the entire season without any degradation to the product.

How much skill is required to install AstroGuard myself?
Do-it-yourself installation of AstroGuard requires general handyman and carpentry skills.  You will need to be able to climb a ladder and operate a drill.  Need help?  We are available by phone or e-mail to give you advice from the pros who have successfully installed thousands of jobs!

How hard is it to deploy AstroGuard when a storm is coming?
AstroGuard is one of the simplest hurricane protection systems to deploy.  You simply attach the lightweight fabric panels to each opening using the screws that are already in place.  AstroGuard folds and stores neatly into its own bags

 Our exclusive Storm Catcher Wind Abatement Screen is our most versatile product, in terms of application options.  This hurricane fabric screen is available with grommets on two, three or four sides.  The screen can be mounted directly to the structure using a variety of mounting hardware.  The Storm Catcher grommet screen can also be mounted using track secured to the building.  Depending on the specifics of your home, several types of track are available.  You can also mount Storm Catcher using our strap and buckle application, which eliminates the need for grommets.

 

This highly innovative hurricane fabric provides serious protection — like having a bulletproof vest for your home. Storm Catcher’s cutting-edge mesh structure:
