Freedom of design for architects with strength respected by engineers.
  Armor Screen provides unmatched design flexibility for protecting facilities of all types. The patented Armor Screen Wind, Rain & Impact Abatement System is a flexible, transparent membrane designed to withstand even the strongest hurricane winds without rupture while deflecting large and small missiles.
The flexible abatement system is constructed of a technologically advanced, lightweight fabric which is 95% solid and 5% porous, allowing visibility and natural light into protected structures while effectively eliminating high winds and driving rain intrusion.
Armor Screen has been load factor tested up to 195 psf (276 mph) and large missile impacted with 5 times the force required by the strict Miami-Dade certification (NOA No. 08-1008.03 ). You can specify Armor Screen abatement systems knowing that you meet or exceed code standards no matter what codes you must work under. Structural strength of the building may also be increased.
  Applications that are impossible with other products are accomplished with Armor Screen. Shelters, fire-rescue stations, auto dealerships, airports, hospitals, store fronts, lanais and sliding glass doors are easily protected. Since Armor Screen is a flexible hurricane abatement system, it can be adapted to most architectural details.
Armor Screen's removable barriers are secured with unobtrusive, stainless steel anchors into the building structure. A special "earth-anchor" allows our product to be fastened directly into the ground, even through brick pavers.
Armor Screen is lightweight and easy to deploy. It can be put up without tools in a fraction of the time required for other products. Utilize existing staff and eliminate the need to hire outside labor.
Every Armor Screen we make is custom-engineered in our own manufacturing facility to ensure we meet your exacting specifications. See the System page for more details.

You can get through but storms can't.
 A major drawback to many shutter designs is that, in keeping the bad weather outside, they also trap the building occupants inside. The flexible hurricane abatement barriers of Armor Screen can be arranged to allow for easy access in and out of the structure. Emergency management personnel agree that this is an extremely important feature in your emergency plans. |
