The System
AstroGuard: Full-Envelope Hurricane Protection in Cabo San Lucas
AstroGuard by Hurricane Fabric® is the result of ballistic fabric technology applied to storm protection. High-strength, high-tenacity nylon coated in a UV-resistant resin, it resists wind, water, and flying debris in excess of Category 5 — with a burst strength well over 1,500 lbs. It outperforms metal panels, roll-downs, accordions, and every see-through fabric on the market.
How It Works
The Full-Envelope Difference
During a hurricane, the worst damage happens when a window or door blows in. The home pressurizes from the inside, and that pressure is what lifts roofs off and tears buildings apart. AstroGuard delivers "full envelope" protection — sealing every opening so wind and water stay out and the structure stays intact.

The Patented Clip
The detail that stops missiles under wind load
AstroGuard's patented high-modulus clip is flexible by design. That flex lets the screen decelerate fast-moving objects — stopping impacts even while the fabric is loaded with hurricane-force wind. No other fabric system stops large missiles under wind load, especially on corner impacts.
