Fixed Hurricane Screens
A fixed fabric screen is one that is permanently attached to sidetracks on either 3 or 4 sides.
About the Product
Fixed screens can also be used as building blocks to create self-standing structures by mounting them onto a structural metal frame that has been designed to withstand the expected pressures.In this example we attached our screens to form a sheltered walkway from a non-hurricane-rated production facility to a rated hurricane shelter. All of the screens located on the top of the screened area are held in place using a sidetrack on all 4-sides. The screen panels on all sides were attached with 3-sided sidetracks (top and both vertical sides). The rotating photos show additional angles of this project. Notice, in the other photos, that the screens on the enclosed steps were secured using tracks on all four sides and the frames were made to conform with the slope of the stairs.This type of construction can be used to create secured or partially secured areas such as: open-topped air-conditioning units, shelters for boats or RVs, storage sheds, and outdoor bulk supply storage. These units can also be built using our Miami-Dade, hurricane-rated, swing pedestrian doors to gain access to the enclosed area.
How can this product help you?
A fixed fabric screen is one that is permanently attached to sidetracks on either 3 or 4 sides, for example: this photo shows a 4-sided fixed screen. A 3 – sided fixed screen would not have the bottom sidetrack. If you have an opening that you normally do not use as a walkway, such as the side of your patio, we can permanently mount the screen over that opening like this: The advantage is that it is less expensive than a motorized screen, it provides insect, UV, normal weather and hurricane protection, plus it also provides privacy during the day. It’s very useful when buildings are close together.In this example: the corner patio opening on the front was fitted with a roll down hurricane screen for easy access and the side opening was fitted with a fixed 4-sided screen for permanent protection and privacy. You must protect all open sides of an exposed area for hurricane protection.
The screens are configured as follows:
Outside View
Inside View
