Hurricane Screen and Shutter Engineering in Florida
Site-specific engineering for hurricane screen and shutter spans, supporting conditions and connections.
Open Shutter Request Form (PDF) →
Service overview
Start with the product. Review the installation.
Florida Engineering’s shutter request form identifies exceeded product-approval spans and special connections as reasons for site-specific review. Share the selected system, approval documents and actual supporting conditions to define the work.
Connection details
Document proposed attachments and any detail that differs from the product approval.
Supporting structure
Provide the wall, concrete, wood or metal support information needed to assess the installation.
Site-specific engineering is not blanket product approval or an automatic extension of a product’s tested limits. The proposed installation and available product documentation determine what can be supported.

Common questions
A few details before you begin.
Can engineering automatically approve a longer span?
No. A request to exceed a listed span needs review of the product documentation and proposed conditions. A supported solution cannot be promised before that review.
What if my attachment differs from the approval?
Show the exact proposed connection and supporting material. The FE form specifically identifies special connections as a reason for site-specific review.
Do I need the product approval number?
Yes. The request form includes fields for the Florida approval number and Miami-Dade NOA. Send the corresponding documents and installation details when available.
Have a shutter detail that needs review?
Share the project location and available documents so we can confirm the scope and next steps.
