High-Quality Solar Screens
for Florida Outdoor Spaces
Create a Cooler, More Comfortable Florida Outdoor Space
Florida sunshine can make patios, lanais, porches, and other outdoor living areas difficult to enjoy during the brightest and hottest parts of the day. Hurricane Zones® provides custom solar screens that help manage the effects of direct sunlight while preserving the open feel that makes outdoor spaces so appealing. Designed to reduce solar heat, glare, and exposure to harsh UV rays, our solar screens create a shaded environment without completely blocking airflow or surrounding views. Each screen system is tailored to the dimensions and configuration of the space, providing coverage that complements the existing structure of the home. Solar screens can be incorporated into patios, lanais, covered porches, outdoor kitchens, and other areas that receive significant sun exposure throughout the day. When deployed, the screen material filters sunlight to improve comfort and provide additional shade, while the system can be raised when full sunlight or an unobstructed opening is preferred. With extensive experience serving homeowners throughout Florida, Hurricane Zones® provides professionally installed solar screen systems designed to make outdoor areas more usable, comfortable, and enjoyable in Florida’s sunny climate.
Real Results. Real Customers.
How Do Solar Screens Help Block UV Rays?
Solar screens help reduce ultraviolet (UV) exposure by using specialized mesh fabric to filter sunlight before it enters a patio, lanai, porch, or other covered area. Rather than completely blocking natural light, the screen material limits a portion of the sun’s UV rays while maintaining airflow and visibility through the opening. This is particularly beneficial for Florida homes, where outdoor spaces can experience intense sunlight for extended periods throughout the year. Reducing direct UV exposure can make screened areas more comfortable while also helping protect furniture, flooring, cushions, fabrics, and outdoor décor from premature fading and discoloration caused by continued sunlight. Solar screens can also reduce glare, making it easier to relax, entertain, or use electronic devices in areas that receive significant direct sun. In addition to filtering UV rays, the mesh can limit some solar heat gain, helping create a more shaded environment during hotter parts of the day. The level of UV protection provided by a solar screen depends on several factors, including the type and density of the screen fabric, the direction the opening faces, surrounding shade, installation position, and the amount of direct sunlight the area receives each day.
From Initial Measurements to Final Solar Screen Installation
Installing custom solar screens begins with a detailed evaluation of the area where the system will be placed. Measurements are taken across each opening to account for its width, height, mounting surfaces, and surrounding structural features. The layout of the patio, lanai, porch, or covered outdoor area is also reviewed to determine how the solar screen can provide effective coverage while maintaining convenient access and visibility. Once measurements are confirmed, the screen system is customized to fit the specific opening rather than relying on standard dimensions. Installation involves securely positioning the housing, tracks, screen material, and operating components so the system remains properly aligned during use. Installers also account for electrical access when required and check that surrounding features do not interfere with screen movement. After the solar screen is installed, the system is operated through multiple cycles to verify smooth movement, alignment, and coverage. Final adjustments can then be made before homeowners receive instructions for everyday operation, routine cleaning, and basic care of their new solar screens.
