Can you relate to weather-related anxiety? This is something nearly everyone in the Sarasota area can relate to. When a severe storm or hurricane is predicted and forecasted, waiting for its arrival can excruciating, especially for children and the elderly.
There is one thing that helps…knowing your home is protected with premium-quality hurricane screens! This peace of mind goes a long way to alleviating some of the anxiety during Sarasota’s hurricane season. Sun and Storm Systems is proud to offer Atlas Armor retractable hurricane screens that are manufactured to withstand winds over 155 miles per hour to protect your family from hurricanes as powerful as category 5.
Certified for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ)
Atlas Armor retractable hurricane screens are certified for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). In the Sarasota area, you want to invest in the most robust hurricane screens to protect your property. Our retractable hurricane screens are the strongest available. Our screens are put through ASTM G155-05a testing, which is an accelerated weathering test to ensure hurricane protection strength for a minimum of 10 years.
After initial strength testing, our screens were placed in a special chamber where accelerated conditions subjected them to simulated full-spectrum sunlight and mist for the equivalent of 24 hours a day for 10 years. To pass this strenuous test, the screens must not degrade more than 10%, and our screens only degraded 7%.
Miami-Dade conducted the analysis as a part of NOA (Notice of Acceptance) testing. To receive NOA certification, our screens also passed testing for impact, uniform static air pressure, cyclic wind pressure loading, and several other requirements. Other retractable hurricane screens—if tested at all—follow ASTM G154 standards, which are intended for testing of indoor products.
With all this testing, we are confident that your family and your home are safe. Our retractable hurricane screens protect wind-driven rain and flying debris from entering your home. These Screens are ideal for protecting larger openings such as lanais, balconies, storefronts, entryways, and windows. Although hurricane screens are easy to deploy, a professional should do the installation.
Manual or Automated Control
Our retractable hurricane screens can be controlled by hand (manual crank), by remote control, or through integration with a variety of Sarasota home automation systems for maximum convenience.
Multipurpose Retractable Hurricane Screens
Atlas Armor retractable hurricane screens aren’t only a single-purpose product. Many hurricane protection products are intended for just that one specific use, but our retractable hurricane screens offer other advantages to Sarasota homeowners, allowing you to be creative.
If you’re remodeling or adding a patio or deck, a retractable hurricane screen can be built-in, even concealed within the walls or columns to serve not only as hurricane screens but also as solar and insect screens invaluable in the Sarasota area.
Solar Screens
Our retractable hurricane screens also serve as solar screens to keep you cool and comfortable in the Sarasota climate. The screen’s fabric absorbs or reflects as much as 95% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, reducing heat and glare.
Other retractable hurricane screens are made of lower-quality fabric that cannot withstand the damage caused by UV rays or other environmental factors such as mildew, mold, or the harmful particles that contribute to air pollution in the Sarasota area. Stiff and brittle screens or screens that appear to have shrunk indicate UV damage.
Our premium retractable hurricane screens maintain their original softness and flexibility, even in Sarasota’s climate. Our screens will not suffer significant damage even if used all day, every day of the year.
Insect Screens
If you’ve spent any amount of time in the region—Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, Nokomis, Venice, or any other area in Sarasota County—you’re well aware that insect protection is a necessity. The troubling increase in West Nile disease means that mosquitoes are no longer just an annoyance, but they also pose a considerable health risk.
Retractable hurricane screens help protect your family not only from mosquitoes, but the fabric is fine enough to keep out those tiny bugs that are so familiar to the Sarasota area.
10-Year Warranty on Fabric Screens
Sarasota’s harsh UV rays will not weaken our screens’ hurricane protection properties, and we warranty our fabric screens for 10 years against damage. We will replace your fabric screens if the sun, mildew, mold, rot, or atmospheric chemicals damage them. A strong warranty instills confidence, and our warranty—unlike most others—is not prorated based on the length of time since you made your purchase.
