How AstroGuard Protects Your Home
AstroGuard provides “full envelope” protection for your home or commercial property by deploying over windows, doors, lanais, porches, garages, and other openings. The high-strength, high-tenacity nylon hybrid fabric with its ultra-durable, UV-resistant resin coating deflects hurricane-force winds and prevents pressurization of the structure. This pressurization is what causes catastrophic roof lift-off during a hurricane. By blocking 99% of wind and rain while protecting against flying debris, AstroGuard ensures your property, belongings, and family remain safe when a storm strikes.

Unmatched Strength & Certifications
3 options available
Category 5 Wind Load Tested
AstroGuard has passed the most rigorous testing standards in the industry. With a burst strength exceeding 1,000 lbs per square foot, it easily outranks plywood, roll-down shutters, accordion shutters, and all other hurricane fabrics on the market. This extraordinary strength comes from the combination of high-tenacity nylon hybrid fabric and a proprietary resin coating process that creates an incredibly durable yet flexible barrier against extreme weather.
Florida Building Code Approved (#12573)
AstroGuard carries full Florida Building Code approval under product approval number #12573. It is also approved for use in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) by the State of Florida, meeting the strictest construction standards in the country. This means AstroGuard is accepted by all local building departments across Collier County, Lee County, and throughout Southwest Florida for hurricane protection compliance.
Insurance Approved & Code Compliant
Because AstroGuard meets Florida Building Code requirements, it qualifies for homeowner insurance discounts in most cases. Many Southwest Florida homeowners see meaningful reductions in their annual premiums after installing AstroGuard, making it not only a safety investment but a financially smart decision for long-term savings.
Why Homeowners Prefer AstroGuard Over Traditional Shutters
4 options available
Lightweight & Easy to Deploy
At only 8 ounces per square yard, AstroGuard is remarkably lightweight compared to heavy metal storm panels or bulky accordion shutters. Most homeowners can deploy AstroGuard themselves without hiring a handyman, thanks to the intuitive patented mounting clip system. The clips bite securely into the fabric without tearing it — unlike competitor products that use grommets which weaken over time. Our system pull-tests hundreds of pounds more than grommet-based alternatives.
Translucent — Lets Natural Light In
Unlike solid metal shutters that plunge your home into complete darkness during a storm, AstroGuard is translucent. This means natural light still enters your home even when the fabric is fully deployed, eliminating the “in-a-cave” feeling that traditional hurricane shutters create. During extended power outages that often accompany hurricanes, this natural light makes a significant difference in comfort and safety for your family.
Compact Storage — No Garage Full of Panels
AstroGuard folds neatly into its own labeled storage bags and takes up minimal space in an attic, garage, or storage unit. Compare this to bulky metal storm panels that consume entire garage bays or accordion shutters that remain permanently mounted on your home’s exterior year-round. With AstroGuard, you only see your hurricane protection when you actually need it — preserving your home’s curb appeal the other 360 days of the year.
100% UV Resistant & Durable
The proprietary resin coating on AstroGuard provides complete UV resistance, meaning the fabric will not degrade from sun exposure over time. It is also mold and mildew resistant, an essential quality in Florida’s humid climate. With a 10-year limited warranty backing every installation, AstroGuard is engineered for long-term reliability in the demanding Southwest Florida environment.

AstroGuard vs. Other Hurricane Protection
When comparing hurricane protection options, AstroGuard consistently outperforms the competition across every metric that matters to homeowners. Against plywood, AstroGuard offers dramatically superior strength, is reusable season after season, and does not require disposal after each storm. Compared to accordion shutters, AstroGuard is lighter, easier to store, and does not permanently alter your home’s appearance. Against impact glass, AstroGuard provides a more affordable solution that can be deployed across all openings including lanais and garages — areas where impact glass is impractical. And unlike other hurricane fabrics that use weak grommet mounting systems, AstroGuard’s patented clip technology provides a fundamentally stronger connection point.
