When it comes to hurricane protection in Florida, compliance isn’t just a box to check—it’s the foundation of safety. At Armor Screen, we’ve built our legacy on exceeding expectations, not just meeting them. With over 20 years of industry leadership and innovation, we know exactly what it takes to meet the most rigorous Florida Building Codes—because our products were built for them.
Why Florida Building Codes Matter
Florida is no stranger to hurricanes. With a history of severe storm impacts, the state enforces some of the nation’s most stringent building codes, especially in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). These regulations are designed to safeguard lives and property, ensuring that structures can withstand the intense wind forces and flying debris of a major storm.
Hurricane protection standards aren’t just recommended—they’re essential. Homeowners, business owners, and developers alike are required to use certified, tested materials that meet Florida’s exacting specifications. Failure to comply can result in property damage, increased liability, and even the loss of insurance coverage.
Armor Screen: Built to Exceed Standards
At Armor Screen, we don’t just meet the minimum requirements—we exceed them. Every one of our systems is designed with compliance and durability in mind. Our hurricane screens are:
- Miami-Dade Certified
- Florida Building Code Approved
- ICC 500 Rated (One of the few products with this designation)
From our original Buckle and Strap system to the sleek Roll Up solution, all of our offerings are engineered to pass the highest hurricane protection standards. They’re tested to withstand pressures of up to 195 PSF—equivalent to winds of 276 mph—and can survive repeated large missile impacts. That’s the level of resilience Florida demands, and Armor Screen delivers.
