    This is a perfect example of why we use polycarbonate in our Evolution hurricane shutters. The stuff is as clear as glass and it is impervious to breakage from hurricane forces. Besides protecting your regular windows from hurricane damage, they will also work great to protect those expensive "hurricane proof windows" that the salesman told you would "survive" or "withstand" a hurricane but will actually break and need replacement. Check out other TH-cam videos about "impact window testing" and you'll see exactly what happens to "hurricane proof windows" when they get during a storm. Then you get stuck paying for impact windows TWICE. When you bought them, initially, you thought that they would be the last window that you will ever need to buy.

      @@MrCatseyes01 You actually don't want Oxy Acetylene for breaching the lexan. You want the highest BTUs per unit of gas possible so natural gas would be about your best bet. Oxy Acetylene burns the hottest out of all the gases, but it actually has the lowest heat output, you want a high heat output to melt the lexan. This is why MAPP gas cuts steel way faster that acetylene, the MAPP gas has a much higher heat output.
      But in hindsight you can always just use an oxygen lance and cut straight through the concrete wall the lexan is mounted in.

    This looks like a solution to securing door side lights . It could be put on the inside of the window,leaving the outside glass in place, and secured with flat metal held in place by sex bolts. A hammer or crowbar could break the glass but they couldn't break the plastic. Neither could they quickly smash it in or pry it out. From the outside it wouldn't look too bad, especially if the glass is opaque. On the inside you would see the metal straps. If they were painted to match the surrounding trim it might look ok. This might not hold up to heat build up if much sunlight hits it.

What is the minimum thickness do you think I should use? Because every mm costs money I don't more thickness than is needed.

    • @jerryng75
      @jerryng75  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi xbeanx3000. In My opinion, the Rule is => Thickness x 100 = Span ( in mm). This will eliminate Sagging. I have no experience in Acrylic. But I think this formula apply to Solid Lexan Sheet. 1.5 meter ( 150cm) is too wide. Try Using Lexna Thermoclear ( th-cam.com/video/PL8arbaVQvA/w-d-xo.html) . They are more Stiff

    So here's the thing. Old video...yes, but it still showed up as relevant for a search so I am commenting, get over it. Physics says that given a surface (the Lexan pane) and a large surface area impact tool (the axe and sledge) are good "common" tools. But what if you have an uncommon thief? Maybe they are using a spiked headed tool, I guarantee that will break thru...Why? Because the smaller the surface are of an impact tool the better change of penetration. When you add weight, velocity AND a small surface are to the mix, few clear surface shields will survive impact.

    • @johnbarron4265
      @johnbarron4265 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A Lexan pane has a lot of elasticity when hit hard. The flex distributes a lot of the impact energy throughout the whole pane, no matter the shape of the striking implement. You would need a high velocity projectile such as a bullet in order to penetrate it. In that case, the inertia of the Lexan means it doesn't have any time to flex and absorb energy. The bullet just ploughs through as if through butter.
