Spectra® Fiber for Hurricane Protection Applications

High strength Honeywell Spectra® fiber, commonly used in bullet-resistant armor to protect military and police personnel, now serves as a key component in novel hurricane-resistant protective panels for windows and doors.

The panels resist high winds and resulting debris, while still only weighing two and a half ounces per square foot.   Class 5 hurricane protection - certified design protects doors, windows and glass.   Meets or exceeds protection requirements for winds up to 175 mph and for large wind-borne projectile impact.   Meets "Fortified... for Safer Living®" and International Residential Code requirements for window and door protection.   Engineered to stop wind-driven rain.   Non-corrosive, UV-resistant and nearly 80% translucent.

Once installed, homeowners can easily mount the panels themselves using standard fasteners without special tools. For a decorative look, they are available in more than 350 Sunbrella® brand accent patterns.

These panels are available to home owners through North Carolina-based JHRG, LLC under the trademark, "Storm-A-Rest™." For more information, visit www.stormarrest.com.
