Products and Pricing |
While others may advertised their offerings as "Florida Approved", we are proud to offer only American-made extruded structured polycarbonate sheet products that have been approved under Miami-Dade County's stringent testing and approval requirements. These include not only the large missle impact test, but also includes the rigorous pressure cycling test that subjects the material to 4,500 alternating cycles of the application of 90 pounds-per-square foot of pressure (approximately equivalent to wind gusts of 168mph). These test are designed to simulate the pushing and pulling forces these materials could be subjected to during a strong hurricane and help explain why proper anchoring is so vital. Videos of these tests are available on our Photos and Videos page. Additional information is available at www.gallinausa.com and at the Florida Approved Products site. Testing documentation is available at these links: Gallina ASTM Testing and Gallina Dade County Testing |

Gallina 6 foot wide sheets have not undergone any specific laboratory
testing
regimes. However, given that the surface area for the distribution of
impact forces is actually larger than it is on 4 foot wide sheets, it
is generally believed that these sheets, if tested, would also pass the ASTM and Miami-Dade County large missile impact and cylical pressure tests. ** These items have not undergone any specific testing regime, but are believed to be more than adequate for their intended purpose, if installed properly. *** These items are promoted by a competitor for an "easy" installation, but frankly, as an adhesive-backed product, I do not believe they will hold a panel on a structure in a serious storm. They are only offered as a last resort for customers who simply refuse or are unable to go to the effort of installing effective permanent anchors. They are offered only at the buyer's informed risk. |
