Bahama Screens for Florida Homes & Businesses

Durable, Secure Hurricane & Security Screens Installed by West Shore Construction

Bahama screens provide a strong, fixed hurricane and security screen solution designed to protect windows, doors, patios, and balconies from wind-borne debris, forced entry, and environmental exposure. Built with rigid frames and heavy-duty mesh, Bahama screens offer year-round protection while maintaining airflow and visibility.

West Shore Construction installs professionally engineered Bahama screen systems for residential and commercial properties throughout Clearwater, Tampa Bay, and Florida’s West Central coastal communities.

What Are Bahama Screens?

Bahama screens are fixed-frame security and hurricane screens constructed with aluminum framing and high-strength mesh. Unlike roll-down or removable systems, Bahama screens remain permanently installed, providing continuous protection and security even outside of hurricane season.

These systems are commonly used to protect:

  • Windows and doors

  • Balconies and upper-level openings

  • Patios and lanais

  • Commercial storefronts and common areas

Why Choose Bahama Screens?

Bahama screens are designed to provide a balance of storm protection, security, and everyday functionality.

Impact & Storm Protection

Bahama screens help protect openings from flying debris during severe weather while supporting the building envelope against pressure changes.

Added Security

The rigid aluminum frame and reinforced mesh create a strong deterrent against forced entry, making Bahama screens a popular choice for both homes and businesses.

Airflow & Visibility

Unlike solid shutters or panels, Bahama screens allow airflow and outward visibility while still providing protection and shade.

UV & Heat Reduction

Bahama screens help reduce direct sunlight and glare, contributing to a more comfortable interior environment and reduced solar heat gain.

Permanent, Low-Maintenance Design

Because Bahama screens remain installed year-round, there is no need for seasonal deployment or storage. Routine cleaning is typically all that’s required.

Applications for Residential & Commercial Properties

Bahama screens are versatile and well-suited for a wide range of applications:

  • Residential windows and doors

  • Balconies and upper-story openings

  • Patios, lanais, and pool enclosures

  • Commercial storefronts and entryways

  • Multi-family buildings and common areas

They are especially beneficial in locations where ongoing security, airflow, and protection are desired.

Bahama Screens vs. Other Hurricane Protection Options

Bahama screens serve a different role than other hurricane protection systems:

  • Bahama Screens: Fixed, always-on protection with airflow and visibility

  • Bahama Shutters: Decorative, outward-opening shutter systems

  • Hurricane Fabric: Lightweight, removable storm protection

  • Polycarbonate Panels: Clear, removable window protection

  • Motorized Systems: Automated, retractable hurricane protection

Our team helps you determine whether Bahama screens are the right solution based on your property’s layout, exposure, and usage needs.
