MAXFORCE™ HURRICANE SCREEN
MaxForce™ is approved for use in Miami-Dade County and the High Velocity Hurricane Zone under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15, rated for the 185 MPH wind zone. The HVHZ is the strictest wind zone in the Florida Building Code.
Getting there took testing. MaxForce completed the Miami-Dade TAS and ASTM impact and pressure tests that Florida requires before a product can protect an opening in the HVHZ.
MaxForce™ is there
The self-adjusting track uses spring tension to keep the screen in place as the wind shifts.
Powder-coated aluminum holds up to the weather, so your investment stays protected.
Built for High Velocity Hurricane Zones and rated for the 185 MPH wind zone. When there's no storm, it's still doing its job, keeping out sun and rain.

Lifetime warranty on the aluminum and proprietary components. 10 years on the hurricane fabric and 5 years on the motor. Paint coverage is 5 or 3 years, depending on how close you are to the coast. Coverage is for the original owner.
MaxForce™ is approved for use in Miami-Dade County and the High Velocity Hurricane Zone under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15, rated for the 185 MPH wind zone. The HVHZ is the strictest wind zone in the Florida Building Code.
Bring the screens down for a storm or just a hot afternoon. One button does it, and your patio and furniture are covered.
The hurricane fabric cuts down the sun coming in. You get less heat on the patio and less fading on your furniture.
Every MaxForce™ screen is made for your openings. Your dealer measures each one, and the screen is built to those numbers.
MaxForce™ can go in alongside other Fenetex screens, and each one runs on its own. Close the hurricane screen for a storm and use a lighter screen the rest of the time.
During the day you can see out, and it's hard for anyone outside to see in. At night, with the patio lights on, it works the other way, like any screen.
The Technology Behind Hurricane Screens
The edge of the screen runs inside a self-adjusting, spring-tensioned track. When wind pushes on the fabric, the springs take up the movement, so the screen stays in the track. The motor also stops if it hits something on the way down, so a chair left in the opening doesn’t turn into a service call.
A keder is a rope-like bead sewn along the edge of the fabric. Sailmakers use the same idea to hold a sail in its track. The bead rides inside the MaxForce™ track, so there’s no zipper to split and no cable to fray.
The heavy-duty weight bar at the bottom pulls the fabric tight as it comes down and keeps it tight once it’s closed. A tight screen moves less in the wind, and that helps keep it in the track.
The corners of the weight bar are reinforced and tie into the track, so the bottom of the screen locks in as one piece when it’s down. The corner parts are made from high-strength nylon.

IT'S AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3
STEP ONE:
MaxForce™ uses OmegaTex hurricane fabric from Twitchell, which is woven with DuPont™ Kevlar® core yarns. During a storm, that fabric is what protects your patio. On a normal day it works like a regular screen. You can see out and air comes through, and it blocks up to 91% of the sun’s UV rays while keeping bugs and dust off your lanai. There are six colors to choose from: Black, Black/Tan, White, White/Tan, Granite and Bronze. Darker colors are usually easier to see through from inside, and lighter colors blend in with light-colored homes.
STEP TWO:
The frame is the part of the screen you see every day, including the housing at the top, the side tracks and the end caps. MaxForce™ frames are powder-coated aluminum and come in white, beige, bronze and black. White and bronze are available in gloss or a textured finish, while beige and black come textured. Most homeowners match the frame to their window trim or the color of the lanai frame. If none of the standard colors work, the frame can be custom painted to match your home.
STEP THREE:
Every MaxForce™ screen is motorized, so raising and lowering it takes the push of a button. Motors are available from Fenetex, Somfy, Gaposa and Simu, and each one comes with a handheld remote like the one shown here. There’s also a solar-powered Gaposa motor for openings where running power is difficult. Depending on the motor, your screens can also be set up to work with a phone app or a smart home system, and your dealer can tell you which options fit your home.

SMART HOME CONTROL
WORKS WITH YOUR PHONE
Add a Bond Bridge Pro and your MaxForce™ screens show up in an app on your phone. You can raise or lower them from anywhere you have a signal, which helps when a storm is on the way and you’re not home. The hub also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can run your screens by voice.
FENETEX
If your home already runs on a system like Control4, Crestron or Savant, your MaxForce™ screens can be tied into it and controlled alongside your lights and shades. Fenetex has been building motorized screens since 2007, and its Fenetex Smart Home connects MaxForce to most of the systems installers already use.

INTEGRITY MATTERS
CONSISTENCY
Every MaxForce™ system is built to order by Fenetex Corporation, the Jacksonville, Florida company that has made motorized screens since 2007.
Each screen is made to the exact size of its opening, with powder-coated aluminum frames and a lifetime warranty on the aluminum and proprietary components.
An authorized MaxForce™ dealer measures every opening before anything is built, then installs the screens. Most homes are finished in one to two days.
MAXFORCE™ PROVEN PROTECTION
Your patio, your lanai, your pool cage. When a hurricane reaches the coast, the spaces where your family actually lives become the most vulnerable parts of your home.
Fenetex has built motorized screens since 2007. The earlier MaxForce™ design used a fixed track and was approved for use in the Miami-Dade County High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Today's MaxForce™ uses a self-adjusting, spring-tensioned track that holds the screen under storm load and runs quietly enough for everyday use.
Home should be a sanctuary for relaxing, spending time with family, and maybe even entertaining. Adding MaxForce™ screens to patios empowers you to curate any outdoor space so it not only complements the architecture of your home, but maximizes year-round outdoor enjoyment of your outdoor spaces.
MaxForce™ screens can be retrofitted to existing residential and commercial structures.
Whether you're investing in your restaurant's patio seating or weatherproofing your outdoor event space, ensuring those areas remain usable and enjoyable for guests is critical to your bottom line and ultimate business success.
Does your restaurant’s patio contend with glaring sun? Or maybe the luxury outdoor kitchen at your home is being invaded by bugs? Whatever the challenge, MaxForce™ Motorized Screens have you covered.

AMERICAN INGENUITY
Every MaxForce™ screen is designed and built to order by Fenetex Corporation in Jacksonville, Florida, where the company has made motorized screens since 2007.
Most components of each screen are made in the United States, and every one is built by the Fenetex team before it ships to your dealer. The motors are the exception. They come from Fenetex, Somfy, Gaposa, and Simu, so your dealer can match the motor to your home and the way you want to control it.
MaxForce™ hurricane screens are engineered for use in High Velocity Hurricane Zones and approved for Miami-Dade County under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15, rated for the 185 MPH wind zone. The system uses a self-adjusting, spring-tensioned track that keeps the screen taut across its full range and holds it in place when wind pushes on the fabric. When deployed, the screen lays nearly flat and operates quietly: protection built for a hurricane that's also comfortable to use year-round.
Yes. MaxForce™ hurricane screens are approved for use in Miami-Dade County and High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15, supported by stamped engineering. To earn that approval, the system was tested to ASTM E1886, E1996, and E330, and to Miami-Dade TAS 201, 202, and 203. Design pressure depends on the size of each opening, so your dealer confirms it for every screen.
Hurricane shutters and MaxForce screens both provide rated storm protection, but they differ in use and visibility. Shutters are typically opaque, deployed panel by panel, and stored when not in use. MaxForce screens are motorized, deploy across the full opening in under a minute, and use a fabric that preserves outward visibility while blocking debris, wind, and rain. Because the screens lay nearly flat and run quietly, they also serve year-round functions — sun, insect, and privacy control — not only storm protection.
No. The spring-based tensioning system maintains steady tension across its full range and absorbs the energy of wind gusts gradually, rather than letting track components knock together. The result is quiet, controlled operation even as wind loads rise and fall.
Year-round. The self-adjusting screen lays nearly flat and operates quietly enough for everyday use, providing shade, insect control, and weather protection in ordinary conditions, then locking down against hurricane-force winds when a storm approaches. It's built for hurricanes and suited to any climate, in every season.
Yes. MaxForce screens are fully retractable and roll out of sight when not in use. At the press of a button, they deploy across an opening in under a minute. The spring-tensioned track keeps the screen taut during everyday use and holds it in place when a storm pushes on it. Screens operate via a handheld remote, mobile app, or integrated smart-home system.
Yes. When deployed, a MaxForce screen forms a continuous barrier across the opening, shielding patio furniture, outdoor kitchens, and lanais from wind-driven rain, flying debris, insects, dust, and UV exposure.
Every MaxForce™ screen is custom-built to the exact dimensions of each opening. They're used on residential patios and lanais as well as commercial storefronts and outdoor dining areas. Larger or multiple openings are handled with independently operating screens, and your dealer confirms the right size for each opening.
MaxForce is a national brand installed through authorized dealers. While the system is approved for use in Florida's Miami-Dade County and HVHZ, among the most demanding hurricane standards in the United States, it's installed on coastal and inland homes nationwide.
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days once final measurements are taken and the screens are manufactured. The total timeline depends on the number of openings, site access, and production lead time, since each screen is built to order.
MaxForce™ frames are powder-coated aluminum in white, beige, bronze and black. White and bronze come in gloss or textured finishes, and beige and black come textured. Frames can also be custom painted to match your home. The hurricane fabric comes in six colors: Black, Black/Tan, White, White/Tan, Granite and Bronze..
MaxForce screens require minimal maintenance. The aluminum framing is powder-coated and marine-grade to resist corrosion, and the fabric can be rinsed with water as needed. Periodic inspection of the track and motor is recommended, and a dealer can service the system.
Yes. Add a Bond Bridge Pro hub, and you can raise and lower your MaxForce™ screens from a phone app, set schedules, and use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant by voice. If your home runs Control4, Crestron, or Savant, your screens can be tied into that system too. Your dealer can tell you which options fit your motor.
MaxForce screens carry a limited manufacturer's warranty from Fenetex against manufacturing defects, with coverage that varies by component. Aluminum, proprietary components, and welded seams are covered for the life of the system — for as long as the system or compatible systems remain in production and parts are available. Motors and operators are covered for 5 years. Hurricane fabric carries a 10-year UV-stability warranty. Paint finishes are covered for 5 years when installed more than a mile from the coast, and 3 years within a mile of the coast. The warranty applies to the original owner and is not transferable.

Protecting a patio or lanai from hurricane-force winds isn't a single decision — it's a sequence of decisions. A hurricane screen must be tested for wind pressure, flying debris, and the pressure difference that builds when a storm surrounds a structure, and then approved for use where you live. The right system depends on your home's exposure, the opening's size and orientation of the opening, local building code requirements, and whether you want passive or motorized protection. MaxForce™ motorized hurricane screens are engineered for use in High Velocity Hurricane Zones and approved for Miami-Dade County under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15 — among the most demanding hurricane standards in the United States — and deploy in under a minute at the press of a button. Understanding what separates a code-compliant installation from a cosmetic one is the difference between protection and exposure.
MaxForce™ News covers both sides of storm readiness: the code requirements that actually protect your home, the engineering that holds up past the marketing claims, the insurance coverage nobody explains upfront, and the questions to ask before you commit. Written for homeowners, not engineers.
