When you live in Florida, hurricanes aren’t just a seasonal concern—they’re a way of life. From unexpected tropical storms to Category 5 monsters, Central Florida homeowners know how fast things can escalate. That’s why proactive homeowners across New Smyrna Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, and throughout Central Florida are turning to a smarter form of protection: Defender Hurricane Screens by Progressive Screens.

At Florida Living Outdoor, we’ve seen the shift firsthand. More families are looking for multi-functional storm protection that also provides shade, privacy, and smart-home compatibility—without sacrificing the beauty of their outdoor spaces. And Defender Screens deliver just that.

What Makes Defender Screens Different?

Defender isn’t just a name—it’s a promise. These motorized, retractable hurricane screens are engineered with heavy-duty, impact-rated mesh that can withstand winds exceeding 150 mph, equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. Unlike old-fashioned metal panels or clunky accordion shutters, Defender Screens deploy with the tap of a button—either from a remote, wall switch, or app-connected device.

This system is backed by the revolutionary MagnaTrack® technology, available exclusively through Progressive Screens. The patented design features a self-correcting magnetic track system that resists jamming, billowing, or dislodging in high winds—a common failure point in traditional screens.

A Better Way to Protect Your Lanai, Garage, or Patio

Traditional storm prep can feel like a mad dash. You’re lugging panels from the garage, climbing ladders, and trying to beat the weather before it arrives. With Defender Screens, there’s no lifting, no storage, and no stress. Whether you’re protecting a lanai, pool enclosure, garage opening, or pergola, the process is simple:

☁️ Forecast looks rough? Tap the button.
☀️ Storm’s passed? Roll them back up.
🦟 Nice weather but bugs are out? Keep the screens down for privacy and insect control.

Defender isn’t just a hurricane screen—it’s a year-round upgrade for Florida outdoor living.

Say Goodbye to These Common Pain Points:

• Hate storing clunky shutters? Defender lives in a discreet housing unit—always ready.

• Worried about flying debris or furniture? Defender creates a wind and impact-resistant barrier.

• Need privacy or bug protection? Defender doubles as a solar, bug, and privacy screen.

• Sick of screens jamming during storms? MagnaTrack keeps the fabric in perfect alignment—even under pressure.
