Why You Need to Invest in Quality Hurricane Protection

4/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Hurricanes can cause mass devastation and destruction to any structure and it’s important to prepare your home or office from potential damage.

Twitchell Corporation’s OmegaTEX™ fabric, when manufactured and designed within an approved screened system, is the only transparent hurricane screen in the industry that passes the Miami-Dade County HVHZ corner shot test.
Additionally, it also passes Florida and Texas Building Codes when manufactured within an enclosed framed system. 

Dealers utilizing the OmegaTex™ fabric in an approved system during hurricane-strength winds up to 150-mph have reported that the system held as designed and the fabric not only withstood the wind loads, but no projectiles penetrated the fabric.

Twitchell’s unique fabric construction woven with PVC coated warp (TEXTILENE™) and aramid yarn (yarns that make ballistic proof materials) make OmegaTEX™ the right choice for any fixed or retractable hurricane screen application that can be used 365-days a year without the worry of degradation caused by the sun’s harmful U.V. rays. In addition to its strength and U.V. resistance, OmegaTEX™ offers protection from wind, rain, dust and debris, insects, and may even lower your energy bills. 

OmegaTEX™ The All-In-One Screen Features:
  • Outstanding ratings in weatherability, mildew resistance, and abrasion resistance
  • Manufactured and tested within a retractable or fixed system will pass Miami-Dade, FBC, and TBC HVHZ projectile tests
  • 1250+ Burst Strength, PSI
  • Flame Retardant (ASTM D635, ASTM D2843 and ASTM D1929)
  • Phthalate-free and hypoallergenic
  • GREENGUARD Gold certified
  • Blocks up to 91% of the sun’s harmful U.V. rays (Approximate 9% openness factor)
  • Offered in three stocked colors: Black, Black/Tan, and White/Tan
  • Width offered: 126’’
  • Approximate roll lengths: 30 Lyds
  • Can be used 365-days a year
  • 10-year limited warranty

OmegaTEX™, by Twitchell Corporation, is sold as rolled goods to manufacturers who design, engineer, and certify their custom hurricane screen systems. Follow the link below to contact your local Twitchell Regional Sales Manager today for more information.

To all our valued customers,
​

As you know, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Since the original warning we have limited all site access to employees only. Our manufacturing, production and warehousing facilities continue to monitor and enforce our high standards of health, sanitation and safety. We have advised any employee who has a fever, any type of respiratory issue, or otherwise feels unwell, to stay home, and we are taking other proactive measures to reduce the chance of contamination and spreading.  

While this is one of the most challenging scenarios we have faced in almost 100 years of manufacturing in Alabama, by staying focused on you our customer and our employees we will work through this together.
We also wanted to provide you an update on what you can expect from us regarding your supply, knowing the situation is fluid, and we will continue to communicate actively with you as we learn.  We have taken, and will continue to take, the following precautionary actions to minimize supply disruption to our customers, including but not limited to:
​
  • Domestic manufacturing extruding yarn and weaving our products in Dothan, Alabama
  • Monitor all raw materials and finished goods sourced domestically and from countries severely impacted by the coronavirus
  • Build safety stocks of those raw materials and finished goods both at our facilities and at our distributors’ facilities in the United States, to the extent possible
  • Resource raw materials and finished goods from alternative suppliers who are not impacted, to the extent possible
  • Explore substitutes for those raw materials and finished goods, to the extent possible
  • Closely monitor stability of supply in impacted countries to best manage supply disruptions

We will continue to closely monitor the impact of the coronavirus and act accordingly to ensure limited disruption to you. Our priority to you is the safe and timely delivery of your product.  
We will update you if and as circumstances change.

Be Well,
​

Paul Cleary, CEO
