The Difference Is Clear...

For over fifty years Commercial Plastics & Supply Corporation has been a global leader in the manufacture, distribution and fabrication of high-performance plastic materials, used in virtually all industries. Based on the results of extensive market research, Commercial Plastics has identified a critical need for high-performance transparent protective glazing, particularly in coastal areas vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes.

To meet this need, Commercial Plastics has established a strategic relationship with Transparent Protection Systems, Inc. to market high performance ClearGuard hurricane panels, specifically designed to protect your family, home and business. Using the same impact-resistant Lexan resin material used in Lexan 9030 polycarbonate sheet, Commercial Plastics and Transparent Protection Systems now offer ClearGuard as a direct replacement for both steel and aluminum storm panels.

Why use Clearguard?

Originally, builders and specialty storm shutter installers used galvanized steel to protect windows, simply because it was the only long-term reusable material available offering adequate protection during intense storms. But steel shutters have many problems, including high weight, difficult installation, rusting over time, and even the potential for injury during handling and installation, due to sharp panel edges. Advances in specialty alloys led to the use of aluminum panels, which made for a lighter panel, but didn't resolve the issue of injury due to sharp edges. Worse still, aluminum panels brought yet another problem- susceptibility to damage during transit, storage and installation due to denting and deformation.

But anyone who has ever spent any length of time in a steel or aluminum shuttered home or business will immediately recognize the biggest problem of all with these materials- Total Darkness. With all windows covered, every area of the structure's interior becomes pitch black. And as everyone knows, power outages during an intense storm or hurricane are virtually guaranteed, leaving the occupants dependent on either candles or flashlights.

Given the facts, it's no wonder that home and business owners everywhere are discarding old-fashioned metal panels and switching to Clearguard. Offering superior weight advantages over aluminum panels, as well as the dent-resistance of galvanized steel, Clearguard additionally offers smooth panel edges, greatly reducing the chance of injury during handling and installation. ClearGuard panels meet or exceed the current requirements for hurricane shutters as set forth by the SBCCI for Large Missile Impacts (SSTD12-99) and Uniform Static Air Pressure (ASTM E 330).

Totally Transparent Panels

Best of all, ClearGuard panels are completely transparent, offering up to 85% Light Transmittance. This high level of clarity allows the occupants to view firsthand outside storm conditions and to make informed decisions during crucial storm periods.

With ClearGuard panels installed, you are no longer dependent on candles or flashlights. Virtually all available ambient daylight is transmitted directly into your home or business with ClearGuard panels, giving you a safer, more normal environment.

Additional Security

Due to its high light transmittance (similar to glass), ClearGuard panels can be permanently installed in hard to reach areas such as upper stories, or as an additional security measure to protect windows from breakage due to vandalism or attempted robbery.

Installation Ease

Installation of ClearGuard panels is quick and easy, and in most cases requires little or no modification to existing framing systems.
