Royal Palm Beach is one of western Palm Beach County’s established residential communities, with a housing stock that ranges from 1980s single-family homes to newer construction in planned developments throughout the area. The city is inland, but inland does not mean protected from hurricane damage. A storm that tracks across the southern peninsula or stalls over the Everglades can produce damaging winds throughout the county. Awning Stars installs hurricane screens in Royal Palm Beach and surrounding western communities including Wellington and Greenacres.
What Makes Royal Palm Beach Installations Specific
Single-family homes with substantial outdoor living space. Royal Palm Beach’s housing stock skews toward single-family homes with covered rear patios, lanais, and often pool enclosures. These openings represent both a significant storm vulnerability and a natural fit for roll-down hurricane screens that double as shade and insect protection during the rest of the year.
HOA-governed developments. Many Royal Palm Beach communities have HOA architectural guidelines. We provide the documentation and finish options that most community standards require.
Distance from the coast. Western Palm Beach County homeowners sometimes deprioritize hurricane protection because they’re not on the water. But the damage record from storms like Frances and Jeanne in 2004, which both made landfall on the Treasure Coast and produced significant damage in Palm Beach County’s interior, is worth reviewing. Inland exposure is real. Call 561.909.8068 for a free consultation.
Motorized Patio Screens for Everyday Use in Royal Palm Beach
Storm protection is only one reason Royal Palm Beach homeowners use motorized patio screens. With the appropriate screen fabric, the system can reduce glare, add privacy, keep insects out, and make a patio or lanai more comfortable while maintaining airflow and the outward view. The screen retracts when an open-air space is preferred.
Every opening is measured for the home rather than treated as a standard size. Even inland Royal Palm Beach properties need a system sized and mounted for local wind-load requirements, especially across wide patio and lanai openings. Awning Stars handles the permitting and installation requirements for the selected system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do hurricane screens meet code in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes. The fabric we install is Miami-Dade approved under NOA #21-0512.04 and is the only roll-down fabric approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Palm Beach County is not an HVHZ jurisdiction, so these screens meet a standard stricter than Royal Palm Beach requires, which is the level of protection you want when a storm turns.
Can I use them on non-storm days?
Yes. They filter about 88% of UV, cut energy costs, and keep insects, rodents, and most animals off the patio, so Royal Palm Beach homeowners run them year round and close them down only when a storm approaches.
What warranty comes with the screens?
A 10-year transferable warranty on the fabric and a 5-year warranty on the motor. The transferable coverage carries over if you sell the Royal Palm Beach home.
Do they work for HOA communities?
Yes. Many Royal Palm Beach communities have architectural guidelines, and the screens come in colors and finishes that fit HOA review. We handle permitting through the Royal Palm Beach building department.
Do I need a permit for hurricane screens in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes. Royal Palm Beach screens are permitted through the Royal Palm Beach building department to Palm Beach County wind-load requirements, and we pull and manage that permit as part of the install.
Why do Royal Palm Beach homes need hurricane screens?
Royal Palm Beach sits inland in Palm Beach County, and screens protect large patio and lanai openings that are hard to cover any other way.
