The short answer is YES. Fortress Screens are a single home improvement that results in many benefits including: - storm protection - increased home security - energy savings

Q.

Every building type can have Fortresss screens mounted to them. Single-family, multi-family and commercial building owners have taken advantage of Fortress screens. They are protecting windows, doors, slider door openings, patios, balconies, lanais, Florida rooms and skylights. They are even working with engineers to mount them on pool cages which always requires thicker aluminum and specific designs that can be discussed with you and the general contractor.

Q.

Air flow is breezy at low speeds. High speed wind slows like it hit a wall. It blocks up to 90% of hurricane wind speeds so your windows don’t get the high wind pressure.

Q.

If a building has an updated roof to meet roofing codes created in the 1990’s, the roof will stay in place. Metal straps/brackets hold the roof down and anchor it to the tops of the walls because of the suction created by high winds. Having all windows and doors protected keeps wind from coming inside and creating positive pressure from underneath. If you don’t have either updated roofs or protected windows, your building is at risk. 2 methods of protection need to be in place to ensure your building won’t be destroyed. Update the roof to meet code and get our screens or even shutters if you prefer that. Don’t get impact glass because it breaks and needs to be replaced. Don’t get roll down “anything” because it is “pretty looking garbage”. Don’t get polypropylene fabric because it fails and degrades in the Florida Sun and Heat. Make sure your protection is always METAL.

Q.
