About TPS


Transparent Protection Systems, Inc. (TPS),a wholly owned division of Nytef Plastics, Ltd. is the exclusive manufacturer of ClearGuardŽ Hurricane Panels, manufactured from the toughest transparent polymer resin currently available, polycarbonate. Solid internationally through a comprehensive network of authorized dealer/installers, ClearGuardŽ panels are readily available in virtually all major coastal areas.

Polycarbonate is an impact resistant polymer resin originally developed for high performance, demanding applications such as bullet-resistant glazing, military aircraft canopies, power tool housings and even compact discs. Because of the extreme toughness of this material, TPS offers a full Ten-Year Warranty* against breakage on every panel sold.

ClearGuard Hurricane Panels are available as a "do it yourself" project for homeowners through home improvement retailers or on a completely installed basis through a national network of authorized dealer/installers.
We are a proud International Hurricane Protection Association (IHPA) Member.
