The sole function of impact resistant coverings (shutters, panels and other systems) is to protect the glazing from missiles, thereby preventing a rapid increase in internal pressure caused by glass breakage. Researchers have stated the loss of a little as five percent of the area of a wall may result in a very rapid 300 percent increase in the internal pressure. In fact, the ASTM Standard (ASTM 1996) for the performance of impact resistant materials contains a definition for and provisions related to porous storm shutters.

Most hurricane shutters are completely solid - blocking out all outside light. When they are installed, occupants can feel trapped and isolated. The Armor Screen System is constructed of densley porous material that allows natural light in, so you can see out.
