Hurricane Screens are coverings that can withstand winds up to 276 miles per hour and are suitable for large spaces such as lanais, porches, and balconies.
Understanding The Distinction Between Hurricane Screens And Hurricane Shutters
There is a distinct difference between hurricane screens and hurricane shutters. For example, heavy-duty hurricane shutters are made of wood or other thick materials that block views and don’t fit very well in larger areas. Most common styles of shutters have a powder-coated finish and require a considerable amount of hardware to install.
On the other hand, Hurricane Screens are made of metal mesh fabrics, do not obstruct views, and are ideal for enclosing large spaces. They are more affordable as well.
The pros of Hurricane Screens are:
- They can be permanent or removable
- They can be custom cut to fit large spaces and archways
- They improve energy efficiency resulting in reduced energy costs
The cons of Hurricane Screens include:
- Their look isn’t as stylish as hurricane shutters
- You cannot install them quickly, meaning they are not good last-minute storm protection options.
Hurricane impact screens are designed to stop as much as 97% of hurricane-force winds and rain from impacting your home. They can reduce the impact of fast-flying dirt and debris.
