Automated Hurricane Protection Installed by West Shore Construction

Motorized hurricane screens provide fast, reliable protection for Florida homes and commercial properties when storms approach. Designed to deploy quickly and perform under extreme conditions, these automated systems help protect openings from flying debris, high winds, and pressure changes associated with hurricanes and tropical storms.

West Shore Construction installs professionally engineered motorized hurricane screens throughout Clearwater, Tampa Bay, and surrounding coastal communities. With decades of experience and a Florida State Certified Building Contractor license, our team delivers solutions built for real-world Florida weather.

Why Window & Opening Protection Matters During Hurricanes

When hurricane-force winds impact a structure, windows and large openings are among the most vulnerable points. If an opening fails, wind pressure and water intrusion can cause significant interior damage and increase the risk of roof failure.

Temporary solutions such as plywood or makeshift coverings often fall short during severe storms. Motorized hurricane screens are designed specifically to withstand impact and reduce wind pressure, helping maintain the integrity of the structure during extreme weather events.

By installing a professionally engineered hurricane protection system, property owners can reduce storm-related damage and improve overall safety before a storm arrives.

What Are Motorized Hurricane Screens?

Motorized hurricane screens are permanently installed, automated protection systems designed to cover windows, doors, lanais, and large openings. These screens are constructed from high-strength, impact-rated materials tested to withstand hurricane conditions.

With the push of a button, the screens deploy quickly and evenly, creating a protective barrier that helps block flying debris while reducing wind pressure on the structure. When not in use, they retract into a discreet housing that blends seamlessly with the building’s design.

Motorized hurricane screens are commonly installed on:

• Lanais and patios

• Walkways and breezeways

• Carports

• Sliding glass doors

• Large openings and storefronts

Key Benefits of Motorized Hurricane Screens

Fast, Automated Deployment

Motorized hurricane screens can be deployed quickly using a remote control, wall switch, or compatible automation system, reducing last-minute storm preparation.

Impact & Wind Protection

Designed to withstand flying debris and extreme wind conditions, hurricane screens help protect vulnerable openings and reduce storm-related damage.

Year-Round Functionality

Outside of hurricane season, many property owners use motorized screens for shade control, insect protection, and added privacy.

Improved Comfort & Energy Efficiency

By limiting heat and glare, motorized hurricane screens can help improve indoor comfort and reduce cooling demands during Florida’s hot months.

Built for Coastal Conditions

These systems are engineered for durability in humid, salt-air environments common throughout West Central Florida.
