Question 1

Is it strong?

Accepted Answer

AstroGuard is high-strength, high-tenacity nylon hybrid fabric coated with a UV resistant resin. The result is a hurricane protection system that resists wind, water, and flying debris in excess of the Category 5 hurricane level. With a burst strength of well over 1,500 lbs., AstroGuard easily outranks metal panels, roll downs, accordions, and any other hurricane fabrics made of a see through material.

Question 2

What is Full Envelope?

Accepted Answer

During a hurricane, most catastrophic damage happens when a window or door is blown in, causing pressurization of the home. This pressurization can rip the roof off. Prevention of this is known as “full envelope protection.” AstroGuard provides this by covering all vulnerable openings: windows, doors, and garages. Even if the glass breaks, AstroGuard prevents pressurization by deflecting the wind.

Question 3

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

AstroGuard hurricane fabric is a leap forward in hurricane protection because it can stop direct impacts and large missile-projected items. No other manufacturer’s system can say that.

Question 4

How about install?

Accepted Answer

Weighing only ounces per square yard, AstroGuard is easy to deploy at storm time. It also folds up neatly into its own storage bags, taking up very little room in an attic, storage unit or garage. You will never have to wrestle with plywood or heavy metal panels again!

Question 5

Us -vs- Shutters

Accepted Answer

Because of its flexible nature, AstroGuard stops flying debris and projectiles more effectively than any other form of hurricane protection. Solid hurricane shutters can fail when impacted, and in many cases they are damaged or misshapen enough that a new shutter must be purchased.

Question 6

What's the cost?

Accepted Answer

With all of AstroGuard’s advantages, you may think the price would be prohibitive. But, along with our superior technology comes superior manufacturing that makes it affordable. AstroGuard is a more expensive, stronger fabric than what our competitors use, yet we can deliver it to our customers for less.

Question 7

What about Insurance?

Accepted Answer

These days, many insurance companies are requiring homeowners to install approved hurricane protection. This reduces claims to the insurance carrier and protects homeowners from storm damage. AstroGuard is fully recognized and approved by major insurance companies and TDI / TWI.

Question 8

Let the light in?

Accepted Answer

AstroGuard won’t leave you in the dark. Its translucent nature lets light in while it is deployed over your windows and doors. Say goodbye to the “cave” feeling you get from traditional hurricane shutters.
