ROLL-DOWN HURRICANE SCREENS
Hurricane protection made simple
Still wrestling with plywood and heavy shutters?
You know the drill. A storm is coming, and you lose an entire day to hauling, drilling, and turning your home into a dark cave. It's exhausting and time-consuming, but there's a much smarter way to protect your family and property.

Engineered for strength, designed for you
We created a hurricane protection system that's strong enough for the worst hurricanes and simple enough for any homeowner to install and use.

Stronger than any storm
Our proprietary woven fabric is engineered to absorb and dissipate the impact from hurricane-force winds and flying debris. Unlike rigid metal shutters that can dent, warp, or be torn off by high winds, our screens flex to deflect projectiles, providing superior protection for your windows and doors. Every screen system undergoes rigorous independent lab testing to meet the highest standards in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade).
Why manual is the smarter choice
We believe simplicity equals reliability. That’s why we focus exclusively on a heavy-duty manual crank system, free from the complexities of motorized screens. This approach gives real, tangible benefits, such as:
- No motor failures: When the power goes out, your protection remains functional. You stay in control, no matter what.
- No electricians needed: Our straightforward design means you don’t need to hire contractors for a complex electrical installation.
- No costly repair bills: Without electronics, you avoid the high cost of fixing or replacing failed motors and remote controls down the line.
Our manual system gives dependable storm protection and significant cost savings.


Simple to set up, strong enough to weather the storm
Worried about DIY? Don't be. We designed our screen system for easy installation with just basic tools.
- Use our simple sizing guide to get the perfect measurements.
- Place your custom order online or over the phone.
- Follow our clear, step-by-step instructions to secure your home.

Testimonials
We're proud to have helped thousands of homeowners get the peace of mind they deserve. But don't just take our word for it. Here’s what our satisfied customers have to say about our products.
As a dealer, supplier, and contractor, I can honestly say that the Cat 5 Hurricane Screen is an innovative, attractive, and safe alternative to typical hurricane shutters.
We haven't had to use our Hurricane Screens yet, and hopefully will not. But my wife and I feel safer knowing it's there if we do need it. I am also happy that I could save myself some money and do the installation myself. I recommend it to anyone!!
I hope I never have to use my hurricane screens, but I feel confident that it's something I can quickly use if I need to. I really like how it looks on my home, as you can't even tell it is there from the road.
For the past four years, they have been my exclusive suppliers of hurricane fabric for my business. I can’t say enough about Rosalie and her staff. My orders always arrive on time and whenever I made a mistake in measuring, they worked overtime to help me correct the problem.
We have been happily doing business with Cat 5 Hurricane Screens for many years. We have found that their professionalism, dedication, attention to detail, and communication have led to a business relationship that we deeply appreciate and value.
