Miami-Dade approved on January 2000, the patented Armor Screen® System offers an innovative and economical alternative to traditional rigid hurricane protection.

Over 2,000,000 sq. ft. of the Armor Screen System has been installed across hurricane regions in the continental U.S., Hawaii and the Caribbean.

Armor Screen founders invented, designed and brought to market this unique and highly engineered product. Armor Screen is now entering its fifth year of production. Nominated for the Florida Governor's award for innovation in technology, supported by emergency management personnel - the Armor Screen System provides a state of the art alternative against destructive wind forces.

Don't be left in the dark. See what's happening with Armor Screen. Our unique interwoven design provides an excellent barrier to high winds and driving rain, yet you can see right through it. No more claustrophobia or feeling trapped behind your hurricane protection! ALF's won't have to evacuate. Put your protection up ahead of time, without having to wait until the last minute. Stay functional and accessible right up to the storm and open immediately after.


See Through
This is what an actual hurricane looks like when viewed through Armor Screen.

Applications that are impossible with other products are easily accomplished with Armor Screen. No more obtrusive tracks and housings. Since our product is flexible it can be adapted to architectural details such as arched top windows, raised stucco bands, windowsills, landscaping and round columns. Large spans such as lanais and commercial storefronts are easily protected with Armor Screen.

Armor Screen's removable barriers are secured with unobtrusive, stainless steel eyebolts anchored into the building structure. A special "earth-anchor" allows our product to be fastened directly into the ground, even through brick pavers.

Armor Screen is lightweight and easy to deploy. It can be put up without tools, in a fraction of the time required for other products. Utilize existing staff and eliminate the need to hire outside labor.

Maintenance-free. Rust-free. Worry-free. Constructed completely of corrosion resistant materials without moving parts and backed by a warranty, Armor Screen takes care of you. You don't have to take care of it.

A storm can't get through it but you can. A major drawback to many shutter designs is that in keeping the bad weather outside they also trap the building occupants inside. The flexible barriers of Armor Screen can be arranged to allow for easy access in and out of the structure as the situation warrants. Emergency management personnel agree that this is a very important feature that should not be overlooked when making your emergency plan.

This versatile system requires no tracks and is easily deployed on unobtrusive stainless steel mounting system (removable) without tools or great physical effort.
