No. Hurricane screens are not waterproof. They’re made to protect against wind and flying debris, not to block out rain. If you’re looking for full water protection, hurricane screens alone won’t do the job.
But that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth it. Atlas Armor installs certified Hurricane Screens in Delray Beach and across Florida that offer powerful protection against the most damaging forces during a storm—wind, flying debris, and pressure changes. They’re strong, reliable, and built to reduce the risk of serious damage to your home.
Built for Real Storms
Atlas Armor screens are made with DuPont™ Kevlar® and Real World tested in 56 storms—31 hurricanes, 18 tropical storms, and 7 tornadoes with ZERO failures. No tears, no blowouts, no screens ripped from their tracks. They hold strong when it matters most.
Our Hurricane Screens in Florida are designed to absorb and deflect debris and reduce internal pressure during wind events. That helps prevent roof lift and structural failure. Wind can do far more damage than rain when it creates pressure differentials that impact your roof, walls, and even your foundation.
The fabric screens provide a flexible barrier that shields windows and doors while maintaining visibility and airflow. You get added protection without feeling closed in, perfect for Florida homes where comfort and safety go hand-in-hand.
They are the perfect COMFORT screens. During hurricane season, press the down button and they will offer a high degree of storm security and the comfort of knowing that you and your family are safe while the storm rages outside, just feet away. During the rest of the year, the screens will pamper you by allowing you to, again, press a button to direct them in providing personal comfort for situations such as too much sunlight, too many insects, too much wind or rain, and when you want to take in 100% of a beautiful day without any filters or if you just want your visual privacy.
Certified for Serious Protection
These Hurricane Protection Screens in Florida are both Miami-Dade certified (NOA) and registered in Texas by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). The Miami-Dade certification is known as the Gold Standard in storm protection testing and is acknowledged by all insurance companies as meeting the highest storm protection standards. That certification equates to real peace of mind during hurricane season.
The NOA certification and TDI acknowledgement further verify that these screens can handle high winds and flying debris under extreme conditions. The formal certified storm testing simulates hurricane impact tests, cyclic pressure loading, and other stress evaluations to prove their durability. However, the real-world testing of surviving unscripted, prolonged, and unpredictable storm attacks is where the wanna-bees are sorted from the true storm protection products.
Atlas Armor Hurricane Screens are the ONLY protective storm screens that maintain a perfect protection record of ZERO storm protection failures over the past 11 years. However, a claim anyone can make (talk is cheap), which is why Atlas Armor backs up our storm protection claim with a written, 10-year, Transferable, Atlas Armor Wind Storm warranty. Where other storm products hide their warranties, or word-smith the warranties in such a way that you believe that you are being protected when in reality, you have ZERO warranty protection. For example, if you find yourself in a major storm and you do not have Atlas Armor screens, your warranty may contain phrases such as “Acts of God” or “catastropic weather events” that are being used to void all product damage liability, because those terms are hiding the fact that WIND is the major damaging component of both “Acts of God” or “catastropic weather events”. A hurricane, a tropical storm, and a tornado are ALL WIND events. Wind control is the main reason that you purchased your hurricane screens. Wind is the primary cause of all hurricane damage. Only Atlas Armor has a written warranty that removes WIND as a voiding reason and insures the screens against wind-only damage by replacing or repairing their wind-damaged screens … for FREE. All other companies will void their warranties if their product is ever damaged by wind, and then, they will charge you for the replacement fabric screen panel. Think about that for a few minutes. Atlas Armor provides real windstorm protection and not just a placebo.

More Than Just Storm Defense
Hurricane fabric screens aren’t just for hurricane season. They also work as:
- Privacy screens – Block outside view while letting in light and air
- Comfort screens – control insects, pets, heat, normal weather, solar glare, solar UV damage, and restrict outside debris (dirt, dust, leaves, etc) from entering your secured area
- Furniture and fixture protection – no need to move your items before a storm, they are always protected behind our screens
- Insurance savings – Some carriers offer discounts for certified protection
- Versatile fit – Ideal for lanais, patios, balconies, and wide openings where shutters can’t be used
They provide year-round functionality, especially for homeowners who want a simple, low-profile solution that blends with their exterior while offering serious protection.
They’re also aesthetically clean, with no bulky parts or visual clutter, making them a great choice for modern and traditional home designs alike. You don’t have to compromise the look of your home to keep it protected.
We Also Offer Stainless Steel Screens: Strong and Permanent
For year-round security, we also offer stainless-steel screens. These provide permanent storm and security protection. They’re Miami-Dade tested and have received their NOA certification as a hurricane product, durable, and designed to resist forced intruder entry. Ideal for homeowners who want to add intruder security to entry points without blocking airflow.
They’re built with a tight woven mesh that still allows visibility while acting as a strong deterrent to intruders and a barrier against windborne debris. The screens come in several different configurations: hinged doors, French doors, flat window screens, built-out wind screens, emergency window exits, and as flat panels for large areas such as patio walls. All are customized for your exact location.
These screens can be used on any type of home, business, or commercial building where controlled access, insect, security, and hurricane control are needed. Entire freestanding rooms or secured areas can be constructed with ease for control of valuable or sensitive materials, such as high-value items (jewelry), medications (drug stores), personal protection (home), hospitals, police stations, firestations, or for animal control, such as horse barns (stalls, feed and tack rooms), and secured ventilation.
They’re especially useful for secondary homes or vacation properties, where continuous protection is needed whether someone is there or not.
