Homes built in the Myrtle Beach area, under current building code are NOT hurricane impact rated. They don't meet the State standard for E-1986 and E-1996 hurricane impact rating. You will also not meet the insurance standard to receive the biggest homeowners discount offered. The State only requires that all window and door openings be covered for the home to meet building code. Covering the openings is designed and engineered into the construction of the home. Homes are built strong. Building code requires 7 nails be used in shingles, nails every 3 inches in sheathing, metal cables or tiedown straps to secure home to the concrete and WINDOWS and DOORS MUST BE COVERED!
When a hurricane hits, the weakest link of your home are all the windows and doors. With out covering the homes openings with hurricane protection the home is susceptible to expensive repairs.
Only Impact Rated Hurricane protection (ASTM E-1986, E-1996) can prevent debris from impacting and breaking your windows and blowing off the roof.
Most homes are supplied with builder grade fabric that is not rated to protect the window or OSB (wood) sheathing that is heavy, take up storage space, absorbs water, and will grow mold. Not to mention, leaves permanent, unrepairable damage to your home because you have screw the boards into your trim and siding.
