Storm Protection for Your Garage
At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we specialize in high-quality solutions that protect homes across Brevard County and Indian River County. One of our most popular offerings is the Impact Garage Screen—an innovative product designed to provide both hurricane protection and greater usability for your garage. Withstanding hurricane-force winds up to 160 mph, impact garage screens offer unmatched protection from storms while increasing the functionality of your garage space.
Why Choose Impact Garage Screens?
When it comes to hurricane preparedness in Melbourne, FL, your garage is one of the most vulnerable areas of your home. Traditional garage doors are often not built to withstand intense storms. Impact garage screens are the ideal solution to fortify your garage and make it more functional year-round.
Key Benefits of Impact Garage Screens
Storm Protection
Our impact garage screens are crafted from 50% aramid fibers, a strong material commonly used in ballistic vests, ensuring durability and the ability to withstand winds up to 160 mph. This extra layer of protection shields your garage and home from storm damage, flying debris, and heavy rain.
Usability and Comfort
While providing top-tier storm protection, impact garage screens also enhance the usability of your garage. Enjoy fresh air and natural light while keeping out insects, wind, and debris. Whether you use your garage as a workshop, fitness room, or entertainment space, these screens allow you to stay comfortable while benefiting from increased airflow.
Privacy and UV Protection
Beyond protection from the elements, impact garage screens offer privacy from prying eyes and reduce harmful UV rays entering your garage. This added benefit keeps the space cooler and more pleasant, making it a versatile environment for various activities.
High Standards of Protection
Our impact garage screens are built to meet the strict Florida Building Code (FBC) and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards, ensuring your garage is protected against Florida’s most extreme weather conditions.
How Our Impact Screens Work
Impact garage screens are constructed with high-strength materials, including 50% aramid fibers, making them exceptionally durable and resistant to storm damage. These screens act as an added barrier in front of your garage door, absorbing the impact of high winds and flying debris. Available in both motorized and manual options, our impact garage screens can be customized to fit your specific needs.
Customizable Options for Your Garage
We understand that every garage is unique, which is why our impact garage screens are fully customizable to suit your needs. Our screens can cover garages up to 24 feet wide and 20 feet tall, ensuring full coverage no matter the size of your space. The powder-coated aluminum frames come in a range of colors to match your home’s exterior while maintaining durability and resistance to corrosion.
Motorized vs. Manual Impact Garage Screens
Our motorized screens offer the ultimate in convenience, allowing you to deploy or retract the screen with the push of a button. This is particularly useful when storms approach, enabling you to quickly secure your garage. Motorized screens also allow you to control the screen’s positioning for everyday use, like adjusting airflow and privacy levels.
For those who prefer a manual option, our manual impact screens provide the same high-performance protection without the need for automation. Both options are built with durable, weather-resistant materials, ensuring long-lasting protection.
