What do hurricane screens look like?

Hurricane screens are not specifically designed to keep water out, but they do significantly reduce water intrusion by blocking wind-driven rain and deflecting debris that can cause structural vulnerabilities.

Below you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions from our readers about the look of hurricane screens.

Will hurricane screens blend with the aesthetic of my home?

Yes, hurricane screens are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. They are usually mounted securely over windows, doors, or larger openings like lanais, and their neutral tones often complement a home’s exterior. Hurricane screens provide a modern, sleek appearance while offering effective protection.

Will they make my house look unattractive or overly industrial?

No, hurricane screens are far from industrial-looking. Their minimalist design ensures they don’t detract from your home’s curb appeal. Hurricane screens add a subtle layer of protection without drastically altering the appearance of your home. When installed professionally, they look polished and well-integrated.

Will they be noticeable when not in use, or can they be discreet?

When not in use, many hurricane screens can be stored discreetly. Some are even designed to be retractable, ensuring they are out of sight when storms are not a concern. Unlike traditional shutters or panels, which remain visible year-round, hurricane screens can be unobtrusive until needed.

How do hurricane screens compare visually to other storm protection options like shutters or panels?

Visually, hurricane screens are one of the most subtle and aesthetically pleasing options available. While shutters and metal panels provide effective protection, they can be bulky and visually dominate your home’s exterior. Hurricane screens, on the other hand, maintain your home’s appearance while delivering high-performance protection. Their semi-transparent nature also allows for light and visibility, making them a practical and attractive choice.
