Strongwell - HS Storm Panels
Strongwell`s fiberglass HS Storm Panels are designed for high impact performance. The panels are made with a proprietary resin mix and fiberglass fabric consisting of woven rovings to create panels that absorb large amounts of impact energy. Independent testing at Texas Tech University`s Wind Science and Engineering Research Center has verified HS Storm Panels meet the criteria of FEMA 320 and are suitable for above ground shelter sheathing.
To meet FEMA 320 standards, a panel must withstand a 15 lb. 2x4 timber missile propelled at 100 mph. This relates to a missile propelled horizontally by a 250 mph ground speed tornado. Strongwell`s 1/4" thick HS Storm Panel meets the FEMA 320 criteria whereas 5 layered sheets of 3/4" thick plywood failed. The videos available in the right sidebar of this page allow you to see the performance of HS Storm Panels in the simulated environments of both a hurricane and tornado.
