Residential Hurricane Protection
Protect the spaces where your family actually lives
When a hurricane forecast tightens, you start thinking about the parts of your home that matter most. The lanai where Sunday dinners happen. The pool deck where the grandkids spent every weekend last summer. The covered patio that became the room everyone gathers in once the weather turns. These spaces aren't decoration. They're where life happens, and they're the parts of your home most exposed when a storm arrives.
MaxForce™ hurricane screens close in under sixty seconds at the push of a button — protecting your outdoor living spaces with engineering originally developed for commercial installations at Disney World, Ritz-Carlton, and NASA. The same engineering scaled to the home, custom-fabricated to every opening, backed by a lifetime warranty.

Residential Applications
Engineered for every outdoor space
Custom-fabricated systems for the residential applications homeowners actually need to protect.
Lanais & covered patios
The lanai is the room you live in nine months of the year and the room you've watched get destroyed every hurricane season if it's unprotected. MaxForce™ screens deploy across the lanai opening in under a minute and disappear into the ceiling track when retracted — preserving the open-air experience you bought the home for.
Common Installations
Single-opening lanai enclosures
Multi-bay lanai protection
Second-story covered balconies
Integrated screen and shade combinations
Lanai openings paired with pool deck protection
Pool cages & pool decks
A pool cage is hurricane-vulnerable in ways most homeowners don't think about until the first time they watch one collapse. The aluminum framing fails. The fabric tears. The repair bill arrives. MaxForce™ screens integrated with pool cage installations protect the structure during high winds and restore the use of the deck year-round.
Common Installations
Pool deck perimeter protection
Screened pool enclosures
Integrated pool cage and lanai protection
Multi-level pool deck systems
Outdoor kitchen and pool deck combinations
Outdoor kitchens & entertaining
The outdoor kitchen is one of the largest investments most homeowners make in their property. Stainless steel grills, granite counters, custom cabinetry, refrigeration — all exposed to hurricane winds without protection. MaxForce™ screens protect that investment and preserve the space as usable hosting space year-round.
Common Installations
Standalone outdoor kitchen enclosures
Integrated kitchen and dining patio protection
Covered outdoor entertainment spaces
Summer kitchens within lanai systems
Terraces & specialty applications
Second-story terraces, screened porches, three-season rooms, and specialty residential applications often face higher wind exposure than ground-floor outdoor spaces. MaxForce™ custom fabrication handles non-standard openings — angled walls, multi-level installations, mixed materials — that off-the-shelf products cannot accommodate.
Common Installations
Second-floor terrace enclosures
Three-season room protection
Screened porches and sunrooms
Gazebos and custom outdoor structures
Multi-level deck systems
The MaxForce™ Difference
Why homeowners choose MaxForce™
Four reasons MaxForce™ stands apart from the rest of the motorized hurricane screen market.
Year-round outdoor living
The lanai, pool deck, or covered patio you use nine months of the year becomes harder to use during hurricane season, insect season, and the hottest weeks of summer. MaxForce™ converts those outdoor spaces into year-round living areas — protected from storms, insects, UV exposure, and weather without blocking the view or breeze when retracted.
Sixty-second storm preparation
When a hurricane is approaching, the residential preparation list is long. Securing the outdoor space shouldn't take hours of staging plywood, hauling shutters from storage, or rigging temporary covers. MaxForce™ closes in under a minute by remote or app, retracts after the storm without manual labor.
Lifetime warranty
Most motorized hurricane screen warranties run five to ten years — meaning the system covering your family's outdoor spaces may need replacement during the years you most want to use it. MaxForce™'s lifetime warranty on structural components, motor, & fabric means the system installed today is the system protecting your family for the lifetime of the home.
Custom-fit to your architecture
Off-the-shelf hurricane protection products are sized for standard openings, and homeowners adjust to the limits of the product. MaxForce™ screens are custom-fabricated to your exact openings — including non-standard angles, multi-level installations, architectural details, & specialty configurations. The screen disappears into the structure when retracted.

Common Questions
Residential Project FAQ
The questions homeowners ask before requesting a quote.
How disruptive is residential installation to my home?
Residential MaxForce™ installation typically takes one to two days per opening for standard installations, with most single-lanai or pool deck installations completing in two to four days total. The custom-fabricated systems are pre-built before installation begins, so on-site time is limited to track mounting, motor installation, and final commissioning. Most installations require no architectural modification to the host structure.
Can MaxForce™ screens be added to my existing pool cage without removing the cage?
Yes. MaxForce™ screens are commonly integrated with existing pool cage installations without dismantling the cage. The track mounts to the existing structural framing, the motor installs within the ceiling cavity, and the screen deploys downward across the pool cage opening. Existing pool cage perimeter screening remains intact while the MaxForce™ system provides hurricane-grade protection during storm events.
Will MaxForce™ screens damage the architectural design of my home?
Custom fabrication and self-adjusting track engineering produce flush installation with the host architecture. The track mounts within or against the ceiling structure, the motor housing is integrated into the architecture, and when retracted, the entire system sits within a narrow ceiling channel that is largely invisible from below. Frame color options match standard architectural finishes — white, beige, bronze, or black — with custom powder coating available for specific color matching.
How do MaxForce™ screens compare to traditional hurricane shutters for residential use?
Traditional hurricane shutters require manual deployment before each storm event, storage between hurricane seasons, and visible mounting hardware that remains on the home year-round. MaxForce™ screens deploy automatically in under a minute, retract completely when not in use, and provide year-round value beyond hurricane events — insect protection, UV reduction, and outdoor space usability during inclement weather. Initial cost is higher than shutters; daily usability and storm-event labor savings typically justify the difference for residential buyers who use their outdoor spaces regularly.
Are MaxForce™ installations suitable for vacation homes and second residences?
MaxForce™ is particularly well-suited to vacation homes and second residences where the owner is not present for hurricane preparation. Automated deployment can be triggered remotely from anywhere via mobile app, scheduled based on weather alerts, or integrated with smart home automation to deploy when a storm is forecast. Vacation home owners can secure their outdoor spaces before a hurricane without traveling to the property.
What residential financing or payment options are available?
Residential financing varies by MaxForce™ certified dealer. Many dealers offer financing programs for residential installations including monthly payment plans, home improvement financing, and integration with home equity products. Specific financing terms are determined during the dealer consultation phase of the residential quote process.
Can MaxForce™ screens be moved or transferred if I sell my home?
MaxForce™ screens are custom-fabricated to specific openings and are typically installed as permanent additions to the property. The screens become part of the home's improvements and transfer with the property upon sale. The lifetime warranty applies to the original installation and may be transferable to subsequent owners depending on warranty terms — consult your installation documentation for specifics.
Get Started
Planning Your MaxForce™ Installation
Residential installations begin with a free in-home consultation by a MaxForce™ certified dealer. The consultation includes site assessment, opening measurement, custom configuration planning, fabric and frame color selection, and detailed pricing. There is no obligation to proceed after the consultation, and dealers typically provide quotes within two to three days of the visit.
Following the consultation, MaxForce™ provides a custom-fabricated system built to your exact specifications, professional installation by the certified dealer, and lifetime warranty registration. Most residential projects complete from consultation to installation in four to eight weeks depending on fabrication lead time and dealer scheduling.
