What Is Hurricane Fabric?
Hurricane fabric is a high-strength, woven material designed to absorb and deflect the impact of flying debris during hurricanes. Itās anchored securely over windows, doors, and other vulnerable openings to create a protective barrier. Unlike rigid shutters, hurricane fabric is flexible, which helps dissipate impact energy and reduce damage.Ā
Because itās lightweight, homeowners can install or remove it quickly without special tools or heavy lifting. When the storm passes, the hurricane fabric folds up for easy storage until you need it again.Ā
