Masking/Duct tape vs HURRICANE TAPE™

The use of masking tape and duct tape to hurricane proof windows offers a false sense of security for consumers who cannot afford the time and money involved in using plywood.

Because of masking/duct tape’s properties for easy tear-ability, protection against injury, high speed foreign body impacts, flying shards of glass, extensive clean-up, and loss of property due to damage or looting still exist.

Clean up and removal of masking/duct tape can prove to be more difficult since they leave behind glue residue which can be very stubborn and time consuming to remove.

Masking/Duct tape also proves useless when applied as a deterrent against looting due to riots.
In the event of a windstorm, HURRICANE TAPE™ offers significant safety and security value, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards of broken glass, and minimizing projectile and water penetration through the window. HURRICANE TAPE™ is TRUE hurricane proofing for windows.

In conjunction with an alarm system, HURRICANE TAPE™ also acts as a high performance measure of security in the battle against 'smash and grab' crime. The tough, shatter-resistant qualities of HURRICANE TAPE™ holds the window glass together even if a brick (or similar object) is thrown against the glass. The thief must now make a choice; continue to attack this window, try another window, or move on. Time is short, and often they move on. *

HURRICANE TAPE™ also addresses concerns and needs for improved safety and security against terrorist acts of bombings. HURRICANE TAPE™ can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury from flying shards of glass due to blasts, depending on the severity of the blast and the proximity of the window glass to the blast.*

Cleanability is also effortless since HURRICANE TAPE™ will peel off leaving NO RESIDUE.

HURRICANE TAPE™ is virtually impossible to tear by hand.
