What are Hurricane Panels?

Hurricane panels are removable protection systems designed to cover doors, windows, and other vulnerable openings against the impact of tropical storms and hurricanes. Its function is to create a physical barrier capable of stopping high-speed wind, flying debris, and horizontal rain. three of the factors that cause the most damage during a severe weather event.

At Stormscreen, we offer panels made from aluminum, polycarbonate, or galvanized steel, materials renowned for their high impact resistance, durability, and ease of installation. They are placed on pre-installed frames and can be easily removed once the risk has passed, making them a practical and functional option for those looking for a solid solution without permanently altering the aesthetics of the property.

Ideal for private homes, businesses, or exposed buildings, hurricane panels are an effective and affordable option within our line of certified hurricane protection systems.

Importance of Storm Panels in Vulnerable Areas.

In a country like Mexico, where a large part of the coastal territory is exposed to tropical storms and hurricanes, having a reliable protection system is not a luxury, but an essential prevention measure for your home or business.

Storm and hurricane panels play a key role in this context: they offer a practical and resistant solution to protect vulnerable openings, such as windows and doors, from the force of the wind and projectiles carried by the storm.

Areas such as Quintana Roo, Yucatán, Veracruz, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Oaxaca, and Sinaloa face hurricane seasons with destructive potential every year. In these places, the installation of removable panels has become an effective and accessible alternative for those seeking to protect their property without compromising its architecture.

At Stormscreen, we work with these regions in mind. Our panels have been selected and certified to withstand extreme conditions, with the flexibility required by Mexico's tropical and coastal climates.

FAQs about Hurricane Panels.

What color are hurricane panels?

At Stormscreen, we offer hurricane panels in three carefully selected designs that combine functionality, aesthetics, and durability:

Galvanized (metallic color)
This finish is one of the most resistant to corrosion, ideal for those who prioritize maximum structural protection. The metallic tone provides an industrial, sober, and professional aesthetic, ideal for high-impact areas or facades that require robust and functional materials.

Lexan (transparent)
Lexan panels are made from high-strength polycarbonate and are completely transparent. This option is perfect for those who want to protect their home or business without sacrificing natural light or visibility to the outside. They offer discreet protection with a modern and elegant design.

White (smooth finish)
The white option combines a clean, contemporary look with high resistance. This color easily adapts to most residential or commercial facades, providing a uniform and discreet touch. It is an ideal choice for those seeking visual harmony without compromising safety.

Each type of panel complies with the most demanding hurricane protection standards and can be selected according to the architectural design, the functional requirements of the building, and the customer's preferences.

When are hurricane panels recommended?

At Stormscreen, we recommend hurricane panels as a practical, robust, and efficient solution for those looking to protect their property during storm season without making permanent changes to the façade.

They are especially recommended in the following cases:

If you live in a coastal or high-risk area, such as Quintana Roo, Veracruz, Sinaloa, Oaxaca, Yucatán, Campeche, or Baja California Sur, where hurricanes are common.

If your property has windows, doors, or exposed access points that need a solid physical barrier during a storm.

If you are looking for a removable and reusable protection system that you can install only when needed and easily store away for the rest of the year.

If you prioritize an economical, durable, and easy-to-install option without compromising structural safety.

We also recommend them as the ideal complement for those who already have other types of partial protection and wish to reinforce specific areas of their home or business.

Panels are an excellent choice when you need real security, ease of use, and maximum adaptability without permanently altering the architecture of your building.

Do hurricane panels comply with international safety standards?

Yes, absolutely. At Stormscreen, we only work with hurricane panels that have been manufactured under strict international safety regulations. Our products are designed to meet the standards required in areas classified as HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zones), which are those at greatest risk from wind speed and debris impact.

Although removable panels do not require a Notice of Acceptance (NOA) from Miami-Dade to be installed, the models we use are manufactured under the same technical parameters and have undergone resistance, impact, and pressure cycling tests, as required by ASTM standards.

This means that they not only protect effectively, but they do so with the backing of real-world testing, not promises. And when it comes to protecting property from a hurricane, that's the difference between peace of mind and improvisation.

Do hurricane window panels affect visibility or light entry?

It depends on the material you choose. At Stormscreen, we offer different types of hurricane panels, each with different properties in terms of visibility and natural light transmission.

If it is important for you to maintain interior lighting or be able to see outside even when the system is installed, we recommend translucent polycarbonate panels. This material allows light to pass through and offers partial visibility, ideal for windows in common areas, businesses, or areas that cannot be completely darkened.

On the other hand, if you prioritize more robust protection and do not need visibility during the storm, you can opt for white aluminum or galvanized steel panels, which are completely solid and block out light. They are perfect for secondary doors, technical areas, or spaces where aesthetics and lighting are not a priority during an emergency.

Not all panels behave the same, and at Stormscreen we help you choose the most suitable one for each space in your property.

What is the delivery time for installing storm panels?

At Stormscreen, we understand that when hurricane season approaches, time is of the essence. That's why our delivery process for storm panels is streamlined and well organized.

From taking measurements to final installation, the estimated time is 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size of the project and the location of the property.

Each system is custom-made using certified materials and undergoing rigorous quality control. Once ready, our technical team installs the anchors and delivers the entire system assembled or ready to be easily installed when you need it.

We act quickly, but without compromising what matters most: your safety.

What warranty does Stormscreen offer on hurricane panels?

At Stormscreen, we offer a genuine 10-year warranty on our hurricane panels, covering both the materials and the installation system. This warranty is not just symbolic: it is the result of our confidence in the quality of the products we use and the professional work carried out by our technical team.

We are the only Mexican company in the sector that backs its systems with a warranty of this duration. We do so because we know that our panels are manufactured to international standards of resistance and, most importantly, because they are correctly installed to work when they are most needed.

Our promise is simple: real protection, guaranteed for a decade. And when the weather turns unpredictable, that difference is worth more than any other argument.

What care do hurricane panels require?

One of the great advantages of hurricane panels is that they require very little maintenance, but to ensure their effectiveness and durability season after season, we recommend following these simple practices:

Regular cleaning with water and mild soap. After each use, clean the panels with warm water and mild soap to remove salt, dust, or dirt residue. This helps preserve their properties and appearance.

Inspection of anchors and rails. Check that fastening systems are secure, with no loose, rusted, or worn parts. It is important to do this before the start of each hurricane season.

Store properly when not in use. Store the panels in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight. If they are made of polycarbonate, avoid stacking them without separating them to prevent scratches or deformation.

Test assembly once a year. Even if there is no threat of a hurricane, we recommend doing a test assembly each year to ensure that everything fits correctly and can be installed without any problems if the time comes.

Request professional maintenance if you notice any anomaly. If you notice any cracks, deformities, or assembly difficulties, please contact our team. We can perform preventive maintenance to ensure that your system is always ready.

Do storm panels also provide security against burglary or vandalism?

Yes, in addition to protecting your property from the effects of hurricanes and storms, storm panels also act as a physical deterrent against theft or vandalism..

Their structural strength and fastening system make them difficult to remove without specific tools and time, posing a real challenge to any attempted intrusion. Whether installed permanently or only during high-risk seasons, the panels serve as additional security reinforcement for vulnerable access points and windows.

Many of our customers appreciate this dual function: climate protection and added security, especially in vacation homes, seasonal businesses, or properties located in less traveled areas.

At Stormscreen, we understand that protecting you also means preventing the unexpected, even when it's not about the weather.

How much space do hurricane panels take up when they are disassembled?

That's an excellent question, and we're happy to answer it honestly: hurricane panels do take up space when not in use, as they are rigid, large pieces designed to cover windows, doors, or entire entrances.

The volume will depend on the number of panels, the material, and the specific dimensions of each one. However, since they are flat, they can be easily stacked vertically or horizontally, allowing them to be stored in warehouses, utility rooms, under stairs, or in covered spaces without any major complications.

At Stormscreen, we also advise you on how to store your screens correctly, so that they are protected and ready to use when you need them.

They take up space, yes, but with good organization, they don't pose a logistical problem or sacrifice functionality. And most importantly, the space they take up is compensated for in safety.

What is the approximate cost of a hurricane panel system?

The price of a hurricane panel system can vary greatly, and at Stormscreen we prefer not to offer generic prices because every property has different needs.

Factors such as the type of material chosen (polycarbonate, aluminum, or steel), the number of windows or access points to be protected, the dimensions, the level of wind exposure, and the geographical location all have a direct influence on the final budget.

What we can guarantee is that our panels are manufactured with certified materials, installed by specialized personnel, and backed by a 10-year warranty. That makes your investment a safe, professional, and long-lasting solution.
