Protect the openings that matter most

Large lanai openings and outdoor rooms are among the most vulnerable areas of a Florida home during a storm. Heavy-duty hurricane protection screens add a retractable layer of defense against wind-driven debris on exactly these hard-to-cover spans — then roll away out of sight when the season passes.

Because they are motorized and retractable, hurricane screens do double duty: everyday shade and insect protection most of the year, and a deployable layer of protection when weather threatens. We specify and install them to suit each opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hurricane Protection Screens — Answered

Do hurricane screens replace shutters or impact windows?

They are best thought of as an added layer of protection for large openings like lanais that are difficult to cover otherwise. During your consultation we will confirm exactly what each specific screen system is rated for so you can plan your overall storm strategy.

Can I use them year-round?

Yes. Most clients use them daily for shade and insect protection and deploy them fully for storm season, so the system earns its keep all year.

How quickly do they deploy?

Motorized hurricane screens roll down in minutes at the touch of a button, which is a major advantage over manually installing panels on large openings.

How do hurricane protection screens work?

Hurricane screens are made from high-strength woven fabric or mesh engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris, shielding windows, doors, and lanais during a storm.

Are hurricane screens code-approved in Florida?

We offer hurricane-rated products designed to meet Florida building-code impact requirements. We confirm approvals applicable to your location during your consultation.

Can hurricane screens qualify for insurance discounts?

Code-approved storm protection may qualify for wind-mitigation insurance credits. Savings vary by insurer and home, so confirm specifics with your provider.

Are hurricane screens better than metal shutters?

Screens can cover very large openings like lanais in one span, allow some visibility and airflow, and (in motorized form) deploy easily, whereas metal panels are lower-cost but heavier to handle. We help you compare.

Can hurricane screens be motorized?

Yes. Motorized hurricane screens deploy at the touch of a button, which is far easier than installing panels — a big advantage as a storm approaches.

Do hurricane screens protect against debris and rain?

Yes. They are designed to block wind-borne debris and greatly reduce wind-driven rain intrusion, helping protect your openings and outdoor spaces.

Can hurricane screens cover a whole lanai or large opening?

Yes. A key benefit is protecting large patio and lanai openings that would be difficult to cover with individual panels.

Do hurricane screens provide shade and privacy on normal days?

Many can be deployed partially for everyday sun, glare, and privacy control in addition to their storm-protection role.

How long does hurricane screen installation take?

It depends on the number and size of openings and any permitting. We review the expected process and timeline during your on-site assessment.

Do you handle measuring, permitting, and installation?

Yes. We professionally assess your openings, handle required permitting, and install hurricane screens for code-compliant, reliable protection.
