Product Comparison
We use Tenara Thread (20x cost of polyester) so that our seams will last the lifetime of our fabric of the storm shutters. Our zinc cast cam buckles are load rated (most plastic buckles have no load rating and slip when under pressure and wet). We use lockstitch sewing which locks each stitch, some of our competitors use chain stitching, a embroidery stitch that looks like a chain (known for unraveling by pulling one thread. Our slip-on brackets allow the screens to be deployed much quicker than the competition. The fabric shutter when not deployed are virtually invisible. Our removable storm bars protrudes the screen away from the glass giving our screen the best glass protection in the industry. Our fabric shutter is Category 5 (about 171 MPH) rating higher than most competitors allowing us in all areas of the state making our hurricane shutter Windborne Zone approved and Miami /Dade compliant .Fabric Shutters show no damage during Impact test / Metal storm shutter bent severely and needs replacement
