Wellington is one of South Florida’s more distinctive communities, known for its equestrian properties, large lots, and a mix of residential styles from modest planned communities to large estate homes near the equestrian showgrounds. Storm protection for these properties varies considerably depending on the size and configuration of the home. Awning Stars serves Wellington homeowners with roll-down hurricane screen systems custom-fabricated for each property.
What Makes Wellington Installations Specific
Large homes with significant glazing. Wellington’s higher-end residential areas include homes with expansive rear walls of glass, floor-to-ceiling windows, and large covered outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas. These are exactly the openings where a motorized hurricane screen system provides the most value. Closing a 30-foot lanai opening by hand every time a storm watch goes up is not realistic. A motorized system makes it a ten-second task.
Equestrian community HOAs. Wellington’s equestrian community properties are often governed by specific community standards, and the architectural character of the area tends toward a cleaner exterior look. Our screen housing finishes and fabric tones are specified to blend with the home’s exterior rather than stand out.
Inland storm history. Wellington is far enough west that some homeowners discount the risk. The 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons produced documented structural damage in western Palm Beach County communities including Wellington. Distance from the coast reduces storm surge risk significantly. It does not reduce wind damage risk to the same degree. Call 561.909.8068 for a free Wellington consultation.
