Our storm screens also meet all the standards for Florida Building code, regarding impact resistance, outside of Broward & Miami Dade.

Why is Astroguard the Preferred Choice Over Other Options?

You can fold panels into their own storage bags and store them in a small place, since they take very little room.
Provide Protection From Pressurization
Our fabric shutters provide protection from pressurization of the house. When a window or door is cracked by air from a hurricane or the flying objects, they cause pressurization. Which can cause the roof to fly off the building, bringing objects into your house & making it unsafe.

Misinterpretations About Hurricane Protection Systems
Storm shutters are very important if you want to make your home safe from a hurricane.
Sometimes, people have misunderstandings about hurricane shutters or systems that try to block the wind. Some people think it's enough to just cover the windows.
The thing is, hurricanes are very dangerous and can bring winds over 100 mph and lots of water. Just hoping that your chosen protection will hold up is not enough. If you want to be safe, I'll explain some common mistakes and truths about hurricane safety and storm shutters.
Nowhere Near The Truth
Some Systems To Block Wind Can't Be Changed To Fit My House
It's true, a few systems can't be made just for your home without spending a lot of money. But there are others that can work for any type of building. If you're talking about cloth covers to protect from hurricanes, you don't need to stress over making them fit into small corners or odd spaces.
You Feel Closed In
Some systems to keep out wind and shutters for hurricanes can make your place feel dark like a cave. But now, there are shutters made of fabric that you can see through. This is nicer than metal shutters that make you feel stuck inside. Plus, it's easier to open doors because these fabric screens don't build up so much pressure like the old ones.
Cloth Shutters And Wind Blocking Systems Are Not Safe
Some people think cloth shutters and wind blocking systems are not safe. But really, smart engineers have made these cloth shutters very strong against rust. A good thing about them is you don't have to get new ones after a storm. Good wind blockers and shutters can push away bits and pieces from the storm, so your house doesn't get hurt. Plus, you can put this kind of protection on patios, paths, balconies, small yards, and roof edges.
Wind Blockers Are Hard To Use
