High-Tech Hurricane Screens: Strong, Safe, and Secure

Our custom hurricane screens use a blend of high tenacity PET and Aramid core yarns which are coated with a durable vinyl that defends against severe hurricanes, insects, solar rays and offers maximum outdoor privacy. This can also help protect your structure from hurricane winds exceeding 156 mph and even heavy, flying debris. With a 10-year warranty on the fabrics, you have peace of mind that you are covered in more ways than one.

Another added benefit to our hurricane screens is they are considered “self-extinguishing,” unlike most competitive Polypropylene fabrics which are highly flammable and break down easily from U.V. rays.

These screens can even be motorized with special technology that can withstand the harsh conditions these screens are meant to protect you from.

FAQs

All You Need To Know About Hurricane Screens

What is Florida Product Approval?

Living in Florida comes with unique challenges, particularly during hurricane season. The Florida Building Code sets stringent standards to ensure products’ resilience against the elements. Our Hurricane Screens have undergone rigorous testing and scrutiny to earn the prestigious Florida Product Approval designation, a testament to their exceptional quality and reliability.

How do hurricane screens work?

Hurricane screens work by creating a barrier between your property’s openings and the external elements. When a hurricane or strong storm approaches, you can quickly deploy the screens over windows, doors, patios, and other areas to mitigate potential damage. The screens’ robust construction helps reduce the impact of debris and pressure differentials, offering an extra layer of protection.

Are hurricane screens permanent fixtures?

No, hurricane screens from Shades by Design are not permanent fixtures. They are designed to be easily deployed and removed as needed. When not in use, they can be conveniently stored until the next storm season.

How do I maintain hurricane screens?

Maintaining hurricane screens is relatively straightforward. Regularly inspect the screens for any tears or damages, and clean them with mild soap and water to remove dirt or debris. Proper storage during the off-season also helps extend their lifespan

Can I leave hurricane screens up year-round, or do I need to take them down after the storm season?

Hurricane screens are designed for long-lasting durability and can be left up year-round if desired. Many homeowners prefer to keep them in place continuously to benefit from additional UV protection, energy efficiency, and added security.

Are hurricane screens a reliable alternative to traditional storm shutters or plywood?

Yes, hurricane screens are considered a highly effective and convenient alternative to traditional storm shutters and plywood. They are easy to deploy and remove, lightweight, and can be stored compactly when not in use. Unlike plywood, they won’t rot, and unlike shutters, they won’t require extra storage space or regular maintenance.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.

Shades by design had to remove and then reinstall my shades ( bought from them) due to my having hurricane glass installed everywhere. The technician , Renato, was terrific, efficient and did a spectacular job, leaving everywhere he worked immaculate. They’re not inexpensive but they are very good.

We just had black-out shades installed in our bedrooms. Hanna Mourani was friendly, professional and kind. The initial visit was for measurements, which took only minutes. During the second visit, he confirmed the initial measurements, and brought his team member Pedro to ensure that everything was ready for the installation (also very quick). Today the shades are in, and they look great. Pedro did a fantastic job. He even removed and disposed of the old window treatments, along with cleaning up his work space. Thank you Hanna for making this processes so easy!

Shades By Design was amazing. Their team installed 3 full bedrooms worth of shades in just one day by working efficiently and professionally. The entire team was very kind and worked flawlessly. Will definitely hire them for all future shade work! Couldn’t say enough good things about this company.

The people I dealt with were professional and courteous. The installation had to be postponed a few times due to my scheduling conflicts, but the agent was patient and ultimately the installation took place on the day and specified.
