Diamond Hurricane Screens Provide Discount Hurricane Protection in Florida
Diamond Hurricane Screens provide cost-effective, easy to use, see-through hurricane protection for aony window or door in your home. THey can be used to protect an opening of any shape or contour from beingbreached by hurricane force winds or wind-borne debris.
Manufactured in a state of the art facility in Houston, Texas Diamond hurricane screens are the latest product in a line of sun and wind protection solutions. They meet the stringent requirements of the Florida Building Code and the International Code Council.
Constructed from a high tech, impact resistant fabric of superior strength, they will resist impacts such as a "flying" 8-lb. 2x4 missile that can penetrate a concrete block wall; Diamond Hurricane Screen's flexible barrier actually repels flying debris.
This revolutionary concept in hurricane protection offers significant advantages over other methods of hurricane protection:
- Easy to use: Diamond Hurricane Screens are lighter weight (under 1 ounce/sf) and easier to install than
plywood or metal panels. Each window or door screen can be put up in minutes by one person. They're also easier to store and maintain.
- Cost effective: They're a fraction of the cost of roll-up shutters, steel mesh screen and impact-resistant glass. (See Product Comparison)
- See-through: Diamond Hurricane Screens maintain visibility and let daylight in, eliminating the claustrophobia of plywood, metal panels and rolled-down shutters.
- Put up when needed or install permanently: Diamond Hurricane Screens can be deployed just for storms, can stay up for
hurricane season or can be installed permanently on hard-to-access windows and vents. The unique weave of the material allows a little air to pass through, preventing condensation, mold and mildew from developing between the hurricane screen and the window. They also filter direct sunlight thereby reducing heat gain from windows.
These additional benefits provide homeowners some flexibility for using the hurricane screens based on personal preference, lifestyle and schedule. Seasonal installation of Diamond Hurricane Screens offers peace of mind to vacation or absentee homeowners who can't always be there to install plywood or metal panels when a storm threatens.
- Attractive: Diamond Hurricane Screens are available in five color combinations to blend with your home's exterior. The color combinations are: Black/Black, Black/Tan, Black/White, White/White and White/Tan.
The homeowner also has a choice of fasteners to anchor the hurricane screens. Some anchors are flush mounted and the surface of the fastener can be painted to blend with your home's exterior.
Commercial and large building applications
In addition to their use to cover and protect all openings in a home's structure (windows, entrance doors, garage doors, vents, skylights, etc.), Diamond Hurricane Screens can also be used in a variety of commercial and large building applications, including marinas and condominium buildings. Marinas or boat owners, for example, can "tent" yachts to protect them from flying debris.
