Highland Beach is a narrow barrier island municipality between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. It’s one of the more exposed locations in Palm Beach County for direct storm impact, with no barrier to the east and significant wind and debris risk during any storm that tracks up the coast. Awning Stars installs hurricane screens in Highland Beach with systems spec’d for coastal barrier island exposure.
What Makes Highland Beach Installations Specific
Barrier island geography. There is very little between a Highland Beach home and a Category 3 hurricane making landfall to the south. Storm protection for these properties is not a discretionary upgrade. The question is which system is most appropriate for the home’s configuration and the homeowner’s needs.
High-rise and mid-rise condominiums. A large share of Highland Beach’s residential property is in multi-story buildings. Hurricane screen installations in these buildings require working with condo associations, coordinating with building management for electrical access where motorized systems are involved, and navigating building-specific permit routing. We have experience with high-rise installations throughout Palm Beach County’s barrier island communities.
Salt air environment. Highland Beach’s coastal location means constant salt air exposure on all exterior components. We specify coastal-rated powder coat finishes and stainless hardware for installations in this area. Call 561.909.8068 for a free consultation.
