Installation Guide

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Opening: AstroGuard is Category 5 hurricane protection that is easy to install and even
easier to deploy. AstroGuard is perfect for Windows, Garage Doors, Sliding Doors, and
enclosing entire patio or Lanai areas of your home.
Hurricanes cause the most damage when the homes glazed openings (windows) are
exposed and the home is exposed to wind that causes wind pressure to blow the roof
off of homes. This is the largest damage to a home during a hurricane that will increase
Insurance Premiums to the Maximum level. AstroGuard is the perfect product to
protect your home during Hurricane Season. AstroGuard stops projectiles at impact and
keeps your home from building pressure that will cause Catastrophic Damage.
We want to show you all applications of measuring your home with AstroGuard.
1. Bay windows are a very weak opening on your home because of the mitered
Joint. Measuring a Bay Window Opening you want to overlap all sizes by 3”
to support the engineering for a 4 sided application.
2. Sliding Glass Doors is another exposed opening that can be covered with
AstroGuard. Measure the opening and add 3” to both sides and to the top of
the opening. AstroGuard is not required to go in the floor of any opening.
3. Lanai or Patio Openings are a perfect solution for AstroGuard. Large
openings can be covered by measuring an overlap of 3” inches on both sides
and 3” inches to the top.
4. Windows are the easiest and best solution by using AstroGuard. By
overlapping all four sides of the opening you will insure that you are
protecting your home with the strongest easiest hurricane protection on the
market.
AstroGuard can be cut to fit any opening within the manufactures specifications. When
purchasing your AstroGuard Hurricane Fabric layout AstroGuard and cut to your
opening sizes adding in the overlap. Using either a box knife or commercial scissors you
are ready to install your clips to AstroGuard.
Hardware: starting 2 inches from the corner of your hardware side, place the first clip.
Knowing your clip spacing, mark center to center.
