The Nautilus Rolling Shutter System, boasting a patented design, introduces a host of innovative features and benefits. Its compact housing sets it apart in the industry, offering unmatched aesthetics for residential homes and commercial storefronts. The reduced distance between the track and center reel minimizes deflection, friction, and strain on the motor/gear, ensuring smooth operation for many years.

Furthermore, the system’s small center reel diameter, combined with the efficient arrangement of slats, optimizes motor/gear/spring torque. Snap covers for tracks enhance security and provide a sleek finish, while also serving as a conduit for power cords.

Despite its compact size, the Nautilus system exhibits exceptional strength and load capacity, making it suitable for various applications, from residential to high-rise buildings. Its resilience is evident in its performance against large missile impact tests and its compliance with the Florida Building Code.

The interlocking hinge points of the blades offer enhanced protection against impacts and forced entry, making it ideal for residential and commercial security purposes. Additionally, the system’s compatibility with balance springs allows for smooth operation with minimal motor/gear requirements, offering cost-effective solutions for manual operation.

In summary, Nautilus Rolling Shutter Systems, installed and supplied by Category 5 Manufacturing, redefine standards in safety, aesthetics, and functionality, ensuring peace of mind for property owners across the Palm Beaches.

Hurricane Screens

Hurricane screens are designed to protect windows and doors from the damaging effects of hurricanes. These screens can withstand strong winds, flying debris, and heavy rain, ensuring your property remains safe during extreme weather conditions. Made from heavy-duty materials like woven metal mesh, impact-resistant polycarbonate panels, or high-strength fabrics, hurricane screens provide robust protection without compromising visibility. Category 5 Manufacturing’s hurricane screens are rigorously tested to meet and exceed industry standards, ensuring they provide the highest level of protection.

Bug Screens

Bug screens are essential for keeping insects like mosquitoes, flies, and other pests out of your home or outdoor space while allowing for ventilation. Made from fine mesh or fiberglass, these screens offer maximum visibility and airflow while effectively blocking bugs. Category 5 Manufacturing’s bug screens are available in various sizes and can be custom-made to fit specific needs, ensuring your home remains comfortable and pest-free.

UV Screens

UV screens primarily function to block ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, helping reduce heat gain indoors, protect furniture from fading, and offer some skin protection in shaded areas. Made from various materials like woven mesh fabrics, vinyl, or films designed to block UV rays, these screens can be used on windows, patios, pergolas, and other outdoor areas. Category 5 Manufacturing’s UV screens provide effective sun protection and help create a comfortable living environment.

The key differences between hurricane screens, bug screens, and UV screens:

Purpose:

  • Hurricane Screens: Designed to protect windows and doors from the damaging effects of hurricanes. They can withstand strong winds, flying debris, and heavy rain.
  • Bug Screens: Meant to keep insects like mosquitoes, flies, and other pests from entering your home or outdoor space. They allow for ventilation while blocking bugs.
  • UV Screens: Primarily function to block ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. This can help reduce heat gain indoors, protect furniture from fading, and potentially offer some skin protection in shaded areas.

Material:

  • Hurricane Screens: Typically made from heavy-duty materials like woven metal mesh, impact-resistant polycarbonate panels, or high-strength fabrics.
  • Bug Screens: Often constructed from fine mesh or fiberglass, allowing for good airflow while still blocking insects.
  • UV Screens: Can be made from various materials like woven mesh fabrics, vinyl, or films specifically designed to block UV rays.

Visibility:

  • Hurricane Screens: May have a slight visual impact due to the mesh or panel design, but they generally allow for some visibility through the screen.
  • Bug Screens: Designed for maximum visibility while still blocking bugs. The mesh is generally very fine and doesn’t significantly obstruct your view.
  • UV Screens: The level of visibility can vary depending on the material. Some UV screens might be slightly tinted but still allow you to see through, while others might offer more privacy screening with reduced visibility.

Additional Considerations:

  • Hurricane Screens: May be retractable, roll-down, or permanently installed depending on the design.
  • Bug Screens: Often come in standard sizes for windows and doors, but can also be custom-made for specific needs.
  • UV Screens: Can be used on windows, patios, pergolas, and other outdoor areas to provide shade and UV protection.

In short:

  • Hurricane screens prioritize strength and protection against extreme weather events.
  • Bug screens focus on keeping out unwanted insects while allowing ventilation.
  • UV screens aim to block UV rays for sun protection and heat reduction.

Some screens, particularly those designed for patios or porches, might offer a combination of functionalities. For example, a hurricane screen might also provide some UV protection, or a bug screen might be made from a UV-resistant material.
