Hurricane Screens on Hilton Head Island
On an island, storm protection is not an afterthought. Salt air, open water and long exposure to wind mean that lanais, screened porches and patios take the brunt of coastal weather. Southern Custom Shutters installs self-adjusting, hurricane-rated screens for Hilton Head Island homes, so the outdoor rooms you enjoy most have protection that is ready when the forecast turns.
Protection That Works for Island Homes
Many island homes are second homes or rentals that sit empty for stretches of the year. Protection that does not depend on someone hauling and fastening panels before every storm is a real advantage. A hurricane screen spans the opening with strong screen fabric and is designed to adjust itself, so it is simpler to deploy than boards or heavy panels and stores out of sight the rest of the time.
Coastal conditions are also hard on materials. Salt, sun and humidity break down products that were not built for them. We recommend systems made with the coast in mind, install them with care, and back our workmanship with a 12-month warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s product warranty.
Built in the USA vs Built in Canada
Homeowners often ask us how screen brands compare. Our article on Phantom vs Fenetex screens lays it out: Fenetex screens are built in the USA, and Phantom screens are built in Canada. We are happy to walk through the differences in person.
Measured, Ordered and Installed by Our Team
Every hurricane screen we install is custom. At your free consultation we measure each opening, look at exposure and how you use the space, and talk through options. We then order, deliver and install the system. Product details are on our hurricane screens page.
