Abstract
A transparent planar storm shield has framed panels (,) with predetermined transparency and predetermined resistance to storm pressure and to storm-debris impact. Panels (,) of the framed panels are preferably shatter-proof plastic material that includes predetermined polycarbonate. Frames (,) of the framed panels have strengths in proportion to thicknesses for predetermined storm protection by predetermined areas of the storm shield. The storm shield is a cover of a predetermined portion of a building orifice which can include a door or a window. The predetermined resistance to storm pressure and to storm-debris impact of the panels is about an equivalent to a commercial grade of polycarbonate or an equivalent thereof that is twenty-five inches square with a thickness of one-eighth of an inch and being rectangular with less than twenty-five percent deviation from being square. Strengths of the frames are predetermined by capacity to contain the panels in positions of resistance to the predetermined resistance to the storm pressure and the storm-debris impact.
