Motorized Screens, Impact Windows and Shutters in the Palm Beaches

What hurricane protection do Palm Beach County homes choose?

Many Palm Beach County homeowners choose protection that stays out of sight: impact windows and doors on the house, and motorized screens on the outdoor living areas. Roll-down shutters fill the gaps where a closed barrier makes more sense.

The Palm Beaches include established neighborhoods, golf and country club communities, waterfront homes along the Intracoastal and condos near the ocean. Many homes have large sliders, open lanais and pool decks that are central to how people live. Heavy panels or bulky shutters can clash with that.

Palm Beach County is inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so glazed openings need approved impact products or shutters under the Florida Building Code. The products we install are rated for Category 5 conditions. We walk every opening and match it to the right product and approval.

Why are motorized screens popular for Palm Beach outdoor living?

Motorized screens are popular because they make a lanai or loggia usable more of the year, then protect the lanai when a storm is coming. They roll down at the push of a button and disappear into a slim housing when you want the open air.

We install MagnaTrack screens, including the Defender hurricane screen. Day to day, the screens cut sun and glare, add privacy from neighbors and keep bugs off the patio. When a storm is coming, the Defender comes down across the covered lanai, with no panels to haul out of storage.

Screens run from a remote, a wall switch or a smart-home system. They suit covered lanais, summer kitchens, pool cabanas and wide openings where shutters would look heavy. We size every screen to its opening, check the mounting structure and coordinate the power connection it needs.

Do HOAs in the Palm Beaches need to approve hurricane protection?

Many do. A lot of communities in the Palm Beaches have architectural review rules that cover what can be added to a home’s exterior, including shutters, frame colors and glass tint. It is worth checking your association’s rules before you choose.

Advanced Hurricane Protection works with homeowners and HOAs to keep projects moving. We can provide product details and finish options that an architectural review usually asks for. Impact windows and motorized screens often fit within community guidelines more easily than visible shutters.

Separately from the association, most hurricane protection installs in Florida need a permit and inspections. Our team handles the permitting process and coordinates the inspections.

For condos and homes that face the beach, sea turtle lighting rules may also apply to glass visible from the sand. We can specify turtle-compliant impact glass where it is needed.

How far into Palm Beach County do you travel?

We serve homes and businesses across the Palm Beaches, a straightforward drive south from our Stuart shop on I-95 or US-1.

If you are not sure whether your address is in range, call (772) 220-1200 and ask. We are a family-owned company that has served the Treasure Coast for over 20 years, and we come to you for every estimate.

At the visit, we measure each opening, explain your options and give you a detailed written estimate at no cost. We work on homes, condos and commercial buildings, including high-rise impact window and door installs.

Booking in the months before hurricane season helps. It leaves time for HOA review, the permit and the product order, so the work is done before storms are in the forecast.
