Hurricane Protection

Hurricane Protection | Features/Benefits | History | Examples

Two of the main causes for damage and destruction from tropical storms and hurricanes are flying debris and extreme wind loads. Now there is a product unlike anything else you have seen that protects you from both heavy winds and flying debris - Force 12.

How Hurricanes Destroy

Force 12 Screens

Force 12 is a flexible high impact screen barrier system that is designed to resist wind pressures generated by hurricane force winds and withstand impacts from flying objects that would penetrate a block wall. Tested under the most rigorous hurricane standards in the country, Force 12 has exceeded all specification requirements.

The unique material from which Force 12 is made allows diffusion of wind velocities by up to 97%. A 100 mph wind against the Force 12 wind barrier system becomes a 3 mph breeze inside the webbing. The flexible barrier actually repels flying debris unlike a rigid shutter system that transfers the shock load directly to the building to which it is attached. This system has many advantages over classic shutter systems or plywood and not to mention numerous additional features and benefits.

Force 12 has been used to provide hurricane window protection in diverse applications such as public shelters, home lanais, condominiums, firehouse bay doors and commercial buildings. Check out some sample installation pictures.

Safety and Security Control for Impact Resistance, Shatter Resistance, Intrusion/Burglar Resistance, Storm Protection, Bomb Blast Protection and Attachment Systems.

Today's architects, designers and contractors are being asked to provide design and construction of "Safe Windows" to prevent loss due to burglary, storm and blast.  Sometimes conventional Bars, Panels and Shutters can be used to accomplish this.  Other times the aesthetic concerns require a solution that does not detract from the image of the property.  This may involve a high end retail store or the 19th floor of a prestigious office building.  What is required is invisible protection that does the job without changing the overall looks.
