Original Translucent Storm Stoppers® have been successfully
Lab Impact Tested to the ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E1996
Large Missile Test Standard for Wind Zones 1 & 2
(Repels windborne debris in winds up to 130 mph)

Original 3/8” Translucent Storm Stoppers® were Lab Impact Tested on December 21, 2005 at a state-accredited certified testing lab. The tests performed were to ASTM E 1886 & ASTM E 1996 for Large Missile Impact (impact only) to repel windborne debris in winds up to 130 mph. This is described in ASTM E 1996 as “Standard Specification for Performance of Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, Doors and Storm Shutters Impacted by Windborne Debris in Hurricanes.” The testing lab we used is NCTL, which has been accredited by ICC-IAS. Please watch the Large Missile Lab Impact Test video below.

This impact test is designed to simulate an impact from windborne debris in winds up to 130 mph, which is the upper limit of a Category 3 Hurricane. The Large Missile Lab Impact Tests were conducted using a #2 Southern Yellow Pine 2 X 4' measuring 48" in length and weighing 4.50 lbs. This is the Large Missile Level C. The test material was a 65" X 108", 3/8” thick translucent Storm Stopper® corrugated plastic panel mounted to a pair of 54 x 65” aluminum white Better Built windows from Home Depot. These are basic glass windows. An adhesive bonding promoter was applied to the Storm Stopper® panel under the 3M Dual Lock™ fasteners and also on the window frame. There was glass behind the Storm Stoppers^® plastic panels and the glass did not break at impact. This is noted in the Certified Copy of our Test Report that is given to Storm Stoppers® customers at the time of their purchase.

In addition to the Large Missile Lab Impact Tests, Original 3/8” Storm Stoppers® have been subject to positive and negative wind pressures in 3 Major Hurricanes since 2005 with impressive results. Read the TESTIMONIALS from Storm Stoppers® customers to see this.
