Why Hurricane Shield

While there are hundreds of reasons to choose Hurricane Shield, our customers tell us these are the five they find most valuable.

1. Easier to Install

Are you tired of trying to protect your home by installing plywood over the doors and windows?


Hurricane Shield is a lightweight fabric that is quick and easy to install. Many of our customers have shared that they can finally install their hurricane protection themselves.


DIY homeowners can easily custom fit our fabrics at home with basic tools.

2. Better Protection

Unlike plywood, Hurricane Shield is Florida Building Code Approved and Evaluated by the Texas Department of Insurance for the latest International Building Code requirements. We have provided thousands of families and homes with protection against hurricanes.


Hurricane Shield is tested to the 9-pound large missile, is similar to ballistic nylon, and has a weatherproof coating.

3. Safer

One of the biggest benefits we hear from customers is that Hurricane Shield is simply safer.


Plywood is heavy and prone to rot and typically requires two people for installation.  Carrying sheets of plywood around in the wind or up a ladder can be incredibly dangerous. Avoid injury and save your back with the light, easy to handle Hurricane Shield fabric.

4. Easier to Store

Once the storm has passed, Hurricane Shield is lightweight and easy to store.  No more having to look at the ugly rotting plywood or having to worry about anyone getting injured from shifting stacks of Plywood.


Our fabric takes less storage space and is just waiting to be called to action.

5. Insurance Compliant

When you have all glazed openings covered, many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowner policies. This is mandatory in Florida and available in various other states and municipalities. Check with your insurance carrier for availability.

Hurricane Shield is just the best!  The quality of their product is only surpassed by their customer service.  We recommend them to all of our family and friends!
