Force 12 Hurricane and Strom Protection
Force 12 high impact wind screen provides a totally new concept in
hurricane protection and hurricane safety. Featuring advanced window
protection from hurricane damage, this new 100% polypropylene basket woven
fabric makes storm windows and storm protection accordion shutters seem
antiquated. These durable hurricane protection nets are designed to repel
flying debris, and are a proven storm window protection for residential,
industrial and commercial properties. This fabric shield hurricane
protection can be used for walkways, glass walls and garage doors as well.
Rated for a category 5 Hurricane, Force 12 hurricane screen
can take a 120-mile an hour wind on one side and turn it into a 3-mile an
hour breeze on the other side. Installed at an angle away from the
building, and reinforced with 2,000 lb. webbing, the fabric is tensioned to
withstand impacts that could shatter a concrete wall. The result is a
protection system that affords the strongest window protection from
hurricane conditions available. This incredible storm safety product
is lightweight, easy to install, easy to store, and reusable even after
debris impact. Infinite span widths are available and this durable fabric
hurricane protection has a significant degree of translucence, which helps
prevent that boxed in feeling when the storm protection material is in place
outside windows and doors.
Force 12 has passed the large and small missile impact test in Dade
County Florida, as well as ASTM standard test, clearly substantiating the
exceptional structural integrity and durability carefully designed into
every aspect of this innovative system. The Force 12 certified test
specifications below confirm the product’s superior strengths.
Static Air Pressure: design load +/- 60 psf. Test specimen taken to 90
psf with no resultant weakening of the test specimen.
Impact Test – Large Missile: 2” x 4” board weighing 9 lbs impacted at
speed exceeding 50 ft/ sec. No penetration or damage to test subject.
Maximum test require impact of a specimen, once in the corner and once in
the middle with a large missile. The Force 12 screen was struck three times
in the same location with no resulting damage or weakening of the test
specimen.
Fatigue Load Test: Design +/- 60psf. No weakening of the Force 12 system
was noted.
Note: Three separate Force 12 screen specimens were tested as per Dade
County requirements. Although it was allowable to change the track
attachment system with each specimen, it was decided to use the same Force
12 track system for all tests. The repeated stress throughout the entire
testing series had no resultant effects on the strength or stability of the
track system.
