Our protective panels were sucessfully tested by National Certiifed Testing Laboratories, Inc.far exceeding Standard Building Code Congress International and Dade County Florida Hurricane Building Code test protocols PA201, PA202, PA 203 and DCBCCD PA 201 (Certification No. 98-0430-01). Panels obtained an impact design pressure rating of 60 psf positive and 55 psf negative (highest tested) when mounted on twenty-four square foot closable shutter frames. This has the equivalency of wind pressure of 1,440 lbs positive and 1,320 lbs negative, respectively, over the surface of the panel area, equating to winds in excess of 216 mph. |

Seen in the image above is part of the actual test with repeated missile impact strikes shooting a 9 pound 2x4 (7 feet long) wooden stud at the Hurricane Panel. The missile was launched from an air cannon traveling at 50 feet per second. No damage was incurred and the panels remained intact and fully operable. |
