Ultimate Storm Defense for Florida Homeowners
Why the UltraShield Hurricane Screen is the Ultimate Storm Defense for Florida Homeowners
When it comes to safeguarding your home from severe weather, the Expert Shutters UltraShield Hurricane Screen delivers powerful protection you can rely on. Designed and tested to withstand extreme winds, pressure, and flying debris, this advanced Hurricane Screen system is built for the toughest hurricane conditions.
Engineered for Extreme Weather Performance
The UltraShield Hurricane Screen has been rigorously tested to endure the most intense hurricane environments. Approved in the Fall of 2023, this system carries the prestigious High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) rating (Product Approval #FL 42141), commonly referred to as the Miami-Dade rating.
This certification means the Hurricane Screen exceeds standard building code requirements across most of Florida, offering homeowners a higher level of protection and peace of mind.
Superior Wind Resistance and Structural Strength
The UltraShield Hurricane Screen is built to withstand both positive and negative design pressures experienced during hurricanes and is rated for winds exceeding 180 MPH.
Its advanced screen material deflects more than 90% of hurricane-force winds, helping protect your home as well as outdoor living spaces like patios and lanais. You can even feel safe to sit on your back porch to enjoy the view (and the chaos) during a storm!
Tested to Withstand Hurricane Debris
This system has successfully passed the large missile impact test, ensuring reliable protection from unpredictable storm debris.
The large missile impact test consists of a 6-foot wooden 2x4 being launched at 50 ft/s toward nine different locations on the screen. After each impact, the system undergoes additional positive and negative pressure testing to ensure it maintains its structural integrity.
The result is a Hurricane Screen that continues to perform, even after repeated impacts.
Solving a Critical Flaw Found in Competitor Screens
A common failure point in many Hurricane Screen systems is the weighted baseslat (aka bottom bar) detaching from the track upon impact. This can cause the screen to flap in the wind and create a critical weak point.
While some systems still pass testing despite this flaw, Expert Shutters identified this as unacceptable. By utilizing a proprietary UltraShield fabric over traditional Kevlar screens, this system combines flexibility with exceptional strength. It allows the screen to withstand consecutive large missile impacts without failure—whether in the baseslat or elsewhere.
Designed to Last a Lifetime
Another highlight for the UltraShield Hurricane Screen is the pliability of the fabric. The screen has an even stretch in both directions, which results in reduced deflection and an excellent recovery after tests were performed. This means that your screen will maintain its shape, and continue normal functionality after withstanding impacts and winds from a hurricane, unlike the Kevlar screens. Every aspect of this system was built with longevity in mind.
Field-Tested, Proven, and Trusted
Beyond laboratory testing, extensive field observations have been conducted to refine and improve the UltraShield system. Many team members have installed the UltraShield Hurricane Screen on their own homes, demonstrating absolute confidence in its real-world performance.
With close to 400 five-star Google reviews, Expert Shutters has built a reputation for reliability, quality, and customer satisfaction—further reinforcing its position as a leader in Hurricane Screen solutions.
