Ultimate Hurricane Protection: How Solarus USA Screens Shield Up to Cat 5 Winds
Living in South Florida has its perks—sunshine, ocean breezes, and beautiful outdoor spaces. But when hurricane season rolls in, those same outdoor areas can quickly become vulnerable to high winds, flying debris, and dangerous weather. That’s where Solarus USA’s hurricane screens step in, giving you the protection you need without sacrificing the look or feel of your home.
These aren’t your typical storm panels. Our hurricane screens are tough, modern, and built to handle the intensity of Category 5 hurricane winds, which means they can withstand gusts over 156 miles per hour. That’s serious protection—and serious peace of mind.
Why Category 5 Protection Matters
Category 5 hurricanes are the strongest storms on the scale. Winds can exceed 156 mph, strong enough to tear off roofs, break windows, and send debris flying with terrifying force. Many homeowners rely on metal shutters or plywood panels, but those can be bulky, unattractive, and a hassle to install when a storm is on the way.
Solarus hurricane screens give you the same level of protection—but with a lot more flexibility.
Our screens are made from high-tensile fabric that doesn’t just block the wind—it absorbs and disperses the impact, reducing the chances of damage to your windows, doors, or patio enclosures. And because they’re retractable, you can roll them down when needed and keep them hidden away the rest of the year.
Built for South Florida’s Strictest Building Codes
In places like West Palm Beach, hurricane protection isn’t just a good idea—it’s part of the building code. Solarus USA screens are fully compliant with the Miami-Dade Florida Wind Load Building Code, which is one of the strictest in the country.
Every screen comes with a code warranty number that confirms it meets those standards. That’s not just paperwork—it’s assurance that your home is prepared for the worst.
More Than Just Storm Protection
You might be surprised to learn how versatile these hurricane screens really are. They’re not just there for the few months a year when storms are brewing. The rest of the time, they help make your home more comfortable and enjoyable.
Here’s what else they offer:
- Cooler spaces – They block out sun and heat, helping your patio stay cooler and protecting your indoor furniture from fading.
- Bug barrier – No more swatting mosquitos while you enjoy your morning coffee.
- Extra privacy – Depending on the screen fabric you choose; you can enjoy peace and seclusion without giving up your view.
Custom-Fit, Hassle-Free
Every home is different, and our screens are made to fit your space—not the other way around. Whether you’re covering large windows, a lanai, or an entire outdoor seating area, we’ll design a solution that works with your architecture and lifestyle.
Choose manual or motorized options depending on your needs. Want to deploy your screens with the push of a button? We can do that. Prefer something more hands-on and budget-friendly? We’ve got options for that too.
And unlike shutters or metal storm panels, you won’t need a ladder or a weekend to get them in place before a storm hits.
