Hurricane Protection

Hurricane Panels Multiwall polycarbonate hurricane panels are a cutting-edge solution that offers protection against the destructive forces of hurricane weather. During a hurricane, properties are at risk of sustaining damage from high winds, heavy rain, and flying debris. Traditional materials may not be able to withstand these extreme conditions, leaving your property vulnerable to costly repairs and potential safety hazards. Available in 48" x 96" Sheets 16mm Multiwall Polycarbonate Hurricane Panels These Multiwall Polycarbonate sheets are engineered with multiple layers of polycarbonate material, creating a robust barrier that can withstand the extreme conditions. With their multi-layered construction, these hurricane sheets provide superior strength and impact resistance compared to traditional materials. This means that they can effectively shield your windows, doors, and other vulnerable areas of your home or building from damage during a hurricane. Shop Now Tested and Proven These Multiwall Hurricane Panels are approved by Florida State and Miami-Dade County for direct mount installation, eliminating the need for bulky and expensive framing systems.
