We’re officially a month into the 2025 hurricane season, and here at Armor Screen, we know how quickly time passes once the storms start rolling in. South Florida has already seen tropical activity this year, and experts predict this season could be one of the most active on record. That’s why there’s no better time to protect your home, business, or condominium with proven hurricane fabric protection.
For over 20 years, we’ve been helping South Florida property owners stay prepared, and we’re ready to help you do the same.
The Rising Demand for Hurricane Fabric Protection
Traditional hurricane protection methods like plywood and heavy metal shutters simply don’t meet the needs of today’s South Florida residents. That’s why more and more property owners are turning to hurricane fabric protection — a modern, reliable solution that combines strength with versatility.
At Armor Screen, we pioneered the fabric protection industry because we saw the need for systems that deliver real security without sacrificing your view, convenience, or the look of your property. Our transparent, high-strength fabric screens are designed to withstand repeated impacts from flying debris and hurricane-force winds — even in Category 5 storms.
Why Fabric Screens Are Ideal for South Florida Properties
Living and working here in South Florida, we know that hurricane protection isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our region is as challenging as it is beautiful — from the relentless coastal climate to the variety of architectural styles and strict building codes, every property faces unique risks when storms approach. That’s exactly why we’ve engineered our hurricane fabric protection systems to meet South Florida’s specific demands, providing strength, versatility, and peace of mind where it’s needed most.
Climate Challenges
The South Florida climate puts materials to the test. Constant salt air exposure, intense UV rays, heavy rainfall, and hurricane-force winds can quickly degrade inferior storm protection products. That’s why we’ve designed all of our fabric protection systems with UV-stabilized fabric, reinforced stitching, and durable components that stand up to the elements year after year. You get real, long-lasting protection that performs when it matters most.
Architectural Styles
We’re proud to serve a region known for its diverse and distinctive architecture. From oceanfront condominiums and luxury estates to historic homes and commercial spaces, South Florida properties come in all shapes and sizes. Our fabric screens are designed to complement that variety, providing reliable hurricane protection that blends seamlessly with your building’s design. You shouldn’t have to choose between safety and curb appeal — with Armor Screen, you don’t.
Local Code Requirements
In South Florida, hurricane protection isn’t just a precaution — it’s the law in many areas. Especially in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), meeting strict building code requirements is non-negotiable. All of our fabric protection systems are Miami-Dade Approved and fully compliant with Florida Building Code standards. That means you can rest easy knowing your property is equipped with proven, tested, and code-compliant storm protection.

Every property has different needs, and we’ve spent decades making sure our hurricane fabric protection systems can meet them all.

It’s a seamless way to stay protected while making the most of your outdoor space.
I-Beam Track for Condos
Condo owners know how important it is to have hurricane protection that works with balcony spaces and high-rise living. Our I-Beam Track System delivers exactly that, with a sliding, curtain-like deployment that requires no ladders or complicated setups. Strong, versatile, and designed for coastal conditions, it’s the ideal solution for condominium residents.
Hemcord for Multi-Story Homes
Second and third-story windows can be some of the most vulnerable parts of your home during a hurricane. Our Hemcord System allows you to deploy high-strength fabric screens from inside, giving you complete protection for upper floors without the need to climb ladders. It’s lightweight, transparent, and easy to use — giving you peace of mind at every level.
Real Protection, Real Peace of Mind: Deflection Spacing Explained
Storm protection is about more than just strong materials — it’s about smart design. One of the key advantages of our systems is deflection spacing, the intentional gap between your building and the fabric screen. This space allows debris impacts and wind forces to be absorbed and dispersed, reducing the risk of damage to your structure. Whether your property calls for Natural Deflection, Angled Screen Deflection, or Storm Bar Deflection, we’ll guide you to the right solution, ensuring maximum protection with minimal hassle.
Why Miami-Dade & HVHZ Compliance Matters
When it comes to protecting your property in South Florida, building code compliance isn’t just a formality — it’s what keeps homes, businesses, and entire communities safe during the most dangerous storms. Miami-Dade and HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) standards are among the strictest in the world because they reflect the real risks we face here — intense wind speeds, flying debris, and catastrophic weather events.
For a product to earn Miami-Dade or HVHZ approval, it must undergo rigorous testing for impact resistance, wind pressure, and overall durability. That includes simulating debris strikes and hurricane-force winds to prove the system can withstand the worst-case scenario. Our hurricane fabric protection systems not only meet these requirements — they’ve been engineered to exceed them.
By choosing Armor Screen, you’re not only complying with local building codes — you’re investing in proven, tested protection that’s designed specifically for South Florida’s toughest conditions.
