Hurricane Fabric Screens in Melbourne, FL
Hurricane fabric screens give you two things at once: wind-rated storm protection and functional shade for everyday use. When deployed, they protect windows and large openings from flying debris. When the sky is clear, they block UV rays and reduce heat gain through your walls and openings.
We install hurricane fabric screen systems for residential and commercial properties throughout Brevard County. These are a practical choice for Melbourne-area homeowners who want storm protection that doesn't look like storm shutters.
How They Work
High-strength woven fabric panels mount on track systems above each opening. They roll down and lock into place using zip-track or cable-guided retention systems. Fabric is rated to specific wind loads — we'll specify the appropriate rating for your site conditions and opening size.
Brevard County Emergency Management recommends protecting all openings before tropical weather moves through the area. Hurricane fabric screens make that fast. One person can deploy a full system in minutes rather than hours.
Applications
Hurricane fabric screens work on windows, sliding glass doors, lanai openings, and large covered areas. They're especially effective for covering large openings that would be difficult or impractical to protect with traditional aluminum storm panels.
Insurance Considerations
Some hurricane fabric systems may qualify for wind mitigation credits with your insurance carrier. Manufacturer documentation and a wind mitigation inspection can support that application. Ask us about the specific systems we install and what documentation we can provide for the credits process.
Daily Shade Use
When storm season is quiet, hurricane fabric screens function as effective shade systems. Fabrics are available in solar mesh weaves that block UV and reduce heat gain through openings. You get storm protection and everyday shade from one system at one installed cost.
