Automated Hurricane Protection for Florida Homes & Businesses

Motorized Hurricane Protection Systems Installed by West Shore Construction

When hurricane season approaches, speed and reliability matter. Automated hurricane protection systems allow Florida homeowners and businesses to secure their properties quickly, safely, and with minimal effort. West Shore Construction installs professionally engineered motorized hurricane protection solutions designed to deploy fast and perform under extreme conditions.

Our automated systems are ideal for properties where ease of use, large openings, or frequent storm preparation are concerns. With the push of a button, your property can be protected against high winds, flying debris, and pressure changes associated with tropical storms and hurricanes.

What Is Automated Hurricane Protection?

Automated hurricane protection refers to motorized storm systems that deploy electronically rather than manually. These systems are permanently installed and designed for fast activation, making them especially valuable when storms approach with little notice.

Unlike temporary panels or fabric systems that require physical installation before each storm, automated hurricane protection systems are always in place and ready when you need them.

Our Automated Hurricane Protection Solutions

Motorized Rolling Shutters

Motorized rolling shutters provide one of the most robust forms of hurricane protection available. Constructed from heavy-duty aluminum, these shutters roll down over windows, doors, and openings to create a solid protective barrier.

Key benefits include:

  • One-touch deployment

  • Strong resistance to wind and debris

  • Added security and privacy year-round

  • Clean, low-profile appearance when not in use

Motorized Hurricane Screens (Including Magnatrack Systems)

Motorized hurricane screens offer high-strength protection while maintaining airflow and visibility. These systems are ideal for lanais, patios, large openings, and commercial spaces.

Magnatrack systems use advanced track technology to keep screens secure during high winds, reducing movement and improving performance during severe weather.

Key benefits include:

  • Fast, motorized deployment

  • Protection against flying debris

  • Reduced wind pressure on structures

  • Versatile use for shade and insect control outside of storm season
