When it comes to storm protection, strength, versatility, and proven performance are non-negotiable. That’s exactly what the Buckle & Strap Hurricane Protection System delivers. As the industry’s original strap-based screen system, it has set the standard for hurricane safety for over two decades—protecting homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure worldwide.
Introduced in 1998, the Buckle & Strap System remains unmatched in its strength and adaptability. Whether you’re securing a small residential window or a large commercial opening, this system provides reliable, high-performance protection when it matters most.
The system’s simple yet robust design makes deployment straightforward. Anchors are installed on opposing sides of your opening—typically top and bottom or left and right. One side of the screen attaches using fixed loops, while the opposite side secures with adjustable buckles and straps. The result is a tight, resilient barrier that shields against high winds, flying debris, and storm-driven rain.
The Buckle & Strap System isn’t just for residential use. Thanks to its durability and scalability, it has been trusted to protect:
Capable of protecting openings up to 24 feet in span and unlimited in non-span width, this system is the ideal choice for virtually any application. If you’re unsure about sizing, contact Armor Screen for a site-specific evaluation tailored to your property.
